Using BSC621-2 C/Ku LNBF

[jsattv]

Great pics, I want to bring my 1 meter Fortec Star Dish off my roof. Could you please tell me how high your post was? Did you put it in concrete? Where do you get these posts? What is the diameter of the post? Does that LNB work for C and KU Sats?

You'll really need a polar mount and actuator or heavy duty H-H motor. This dish will be too big to just put on one of the motors sold here for smaller dishes. It may be that the mount you have is, or can be adapted to being a polar mount, so that all you need is an actuator. Re the positioner, any less than 15 year old IRD will move a dish with an actuator. You can also get a VBOX type positioner, but that won't control the polarotor that your feed probably has. Stand alone positioners exist (I still have one from my first dish (~20 years ago), but you'd have to be very lucky to find one. I actually found one in the trash at my town's spring metal cleanup, but I was afraid ( of causing xyl trouble ) to bring it home, even though it was still in pristine condition.

Hello,
Where did you get your conical scalar ring for the BSC621-2 LNBF?
I am looking for one too.
I see that they are still not available yet in Sadoun's store.

From a guy on a different message board.
Both VJ9999 and I got them from same guy.

He only had a limited few of them, once they were gone it did not appear he could get anymore.

I have no idea where to get one of these anymore.

Those conical scalar rings always remind me of the hats that the DEVO guys wear.

Darn! I was afraid that would be the case.
Maybe I can use one of those Devo hats instead?
They are probably not metal though...

I guess I will just have to find a cheap, used BUD some where.

Actually I got mine with an c-band LNB I bought from another retailer (I am loyal to Sadoun, but that retailer was the only one who had it at the time).

Hi VJ

Welcome back. I haven't seen your posts in a while. I know family and work are more important.

Thanks.

I still login 4-5 times a day and do any moderating that needs to be done

I wish I had more time, but with kids being 8 months and 2yrs old, I got to admit I haven't touched my dish in almost a year. I'll get back in the game soon

Enjoy your time with the kids. They are fun at this age and you should spend as much time with them. They will grow fast, and one day you will say: wow, how did the time pass by so quickly?

Exactly Sadoun. both of my boys are stationed over seas right now one in Iraq and the other some where down around South America. but at least my 2 grandsons made it home for the Holidays so I expect to have a very Merry Christmas.

I have a BSC621-2 C/Ku LNBF I have a problem getting it work on my Dreambox, C-band works but have problem when I want to scan Ku-band
Your help is needed.

[elgemcdlf]

What are the settings in the receiver for the Ku? In fact what are all the settings in the receiver? What type of dish? What is your problem?

[papitohead]

Hi, it's been a while for me because I travel to South America and there is no internet in the area. I am still interested in one of these C/KU Digital BSC621-2 to use with a BUD. Because being to far from the footprint, I need a big dish and the only thing they have there are the small offset dishes. I would like to know if this lnb is circular comparable to receive 110 & 119 with FTA receiver. I am not interested in C-band. I just want to use this BUD just like if it was a regular offset dish in the states. I would like to hear from anyone who is testing with a BUD.

Thanks you and blessings to all. And yes, enjoy your children now. I am enjoying grandchildren myself and is sooooo great!!!!

It seems that Sadoun does not sell the bsc621-2. I saw that there is another similar model (BSC621-2D) without the disecq switching.
Would the latter be better? Is the Ku/C geosatpro better or worse? Also, what kind of mounting hardware do I need for mounting the BSC621-2D in a 120cm geosatpro dish? Does Sadoun sell this hardware? Thanks in advance.
