Lowest noise rating of a KU LNB?

What are the current noise ratings of LNB's now?
I see .6 being a popular number with a .3 somewhere.
What range are we talking about here and just how much difference a few tenths of a db would really mean??

BTW, I remember 120 degree LNA's from C band in the early 80's. :mozilla_surprised:

Lower the better. The most popluar lnb's right now do .3 db

when you that low, is there any REAL difference below 1 degree? It sounds as it's more a marketing deal, aka Monster Cables or gold plated connectors........... #-o

There are alot of people that swear by their Invacom 0.3 LNBFs. THey seem to be very well built and work well.

For me it is hard to tell because at the same time I changed the lnbf's I changed the dish so the improvement in signal was imminent
