Using BSC621-2 C/Ku LNBF

[vj9999]

Hi vj.
Are you saying I need To rotate until I get signal with a TV on the roof?
If that is so I will wait till the weather is more cooperative.
It is already 80 at 7AM here in VA.
Thanks again.I'll keep trying.Reinhold.

Same as with any other lnb, skew has to be set at 0 for motorized setup and if it is not motorized, you will manually have to adjust the skew for each satellite depending on your location. In my case (since I have motorized 1.2 dish) the way you see the lnb rotated seems to be 0 skew. I'm not 100% sure since markings on the lnb are vague, but it seems to match all the polarities and get the best signal.

One thing that would matter for you though is how you insert the dialectric plate. There are 2 slots for it. One is if you want all L and the other one is for all R.

Oh I am really not liking talking with you vj. I did not know it would not do both. I am planning on a dedicated dish for 40.5 (C Band) and the tps are split R & L all the way down. Guess I will have to buy a second one and figure out some kind of mount for it.

I actually do appreciate the knowledge. You just saved me mountains of diagnostic time. Do you have a site where there is actual info on this beast?

Thanks again for all the help.
I do have a motorized set up (HH120) so I start with 0 skew.It seems that "0" point is not too clear.
Would you believe I down loaded 4 C Band sats using the QPH031 LNBF?
I get GOL tv on 111w,97W is olmost a carben copy of Ku,so is 123W C.
I also get one station on 129 and 131.
Thanks again for all the help.When it cools off a bit I'll start over and let you know how a make out.

can you take a picture and post how that plate fits inside?

Thnx

It is self explanatory when you take the cover off. I did not see any marks indicating which pair of slots was which but honestly wasn't looking either. They are just slight rises in the housing that create a slot for the plate to fit into. I seated my plate as far in as it would go without excessive force.

Can you tell me which way the plate should be for liniar;vertical or horizontal?

PSB over on satelliteguys had pictures up. I'll see if I can dig up the link to his post.

Sadoun is a sponsor over there so I'm sure it won't be a problem posting to another forum

Second picture from the left show how it looks inside. You will see ridges on the insede where the plate fits in. You can put it in either horizontally or vertically and that determines if you get L or R (at least that was case in my test on 40.5)

must have missed that post over there.

thnx

vj,thanks for your efforts.
It cooled off a bit last night and I was able to get up on the roof.I got some Ku station before the storm went thrue.I changed the baffle plate and that did it.Thanks again.
