Wave Frontier Toroidal T-90 Satellite Dish

[Muad'Dib]

Man, I have a Triax Unique Multifocus myself and if you have problems with ALPS LNBs (Made in Japan!) then you have set up/installed something wrongly or a bad LNB!!
Besides, ALPS are not made for receiving problematic satellites anyway.

If youhave problems setting up SPAUN equipment then you maybe have bought/set up the wrong components, because their stuff simply works.

Spaun-s equipment has very bad separations and it can not be used in set with 2 or more receivers. I know it because I am owning one spaun 4/1 commited and one 4/1 uncommited switch. The uncommited is working good only if you will not connect to it twins or quads or connects commited switches with big separations.

At this moment I am not beleiving you in your revelations. I will wait the info from you, what in 8/1 is "crappo". I will check it in mine and will verify.

Alps ? I have 1 LNBF alps (finger) and 2 alps with bigger back body (olders). I can compare all alps only to LNBFs 10 years old. All alps are "crappo" now.
I can say more , the modern trash LNBFs from unknown manufactures with lying info about 0.1dB noise are better.

This is verified info by me, not the read somewhere presumptions. The ALPS is the worst choice I can imagine now. The more worst can be only using LNBFs from old (10 years or more) dish.

I have one sharp 180A (the newest "finger") and I can say it is noticable worse than inverto (white). The silver inverto has to be more better.
But of course golden interstar should be better than both sharp and inverto. The only problem is with size of its feed.

And this is it. Why to buy alps if much better LNBFs are better and often cheaper.

What about your switch 8/1 revelations?

After a week and so,i succeeded to put a toroidal T90 with 16lnb,as you can see.All satellites received are beaming for Europe:







I used 4 switch 4X4/2-diseqc 1.0 and 1 switch 8/1 diseqc 1.2.

Sorry, had to laugh when I read your Q.
Simply because only ALPS have made rocket feed LNBs...........

Satesco,
this is what I want to accomplish too. My LNB bar is in locksmith now. He will extend it 20cm from each end.
I want to try something additional and connect 12.5w and 53e. I am not sure if it will be possible , but I will try. (I have a strong signal on 65cm dish from 53e.)

The 9/7/5 mounting seems to be very interesting. Could you show us more specific picture ? You have cut standard mount and used metal one but I do not see how have you connected it and what is this metal part.
Is this metal tape connected to plastic mount using a screw ?
Now I have to decide if I will wait for ultra line LNBFs or will buy at once some silvers. I am planing to use 8 quads , 8 twins and additional twins or singles on extended part of bar.

Are you able to receive something from 7W ? It is not possible in my country on this dish but 8W will not be a problem.

Do you have you any problems with your 8/1 switch ? (Is it viper/wavefrontier?)

2 degrees is no problemwith special handmade solutions.
You can find some at dxtv.de ...

[Tom0000]

I do not know the german. I have found there the solution of using metal holder mounted to neighbour LNB. It looks like 2.5 degrees solution. Satesco has done it much better.
If the same solution is talked aboud on this forum, please give me a link or german words for use suchen.

You maybe mean this:

mistake posting

Thanks. The pictures in zip file . Interesting , but I will try using original holders.

The position: 9e,7e,4.8e ... all 3 sat-s have strong signal , especial 4.8e (the strongest one in my country, it does not have to be in center), 9e should not be in 9e but in 9.5e because it has to receive 10e too. It looks like only 7e should have not standard holder.

I have selected the sat-s by the strength (only by beam possible to receive using T90):
Very Strong - selecting LNBF type and ideal centering not critical:
W: 15, 12.5, 5/4, 1
E: 4/4.8, 7, 9/10, 13, 16, 19.2, 23.5, 28.2/28.5, 31.5, 36, 39/40, 45, 53
Standard - there should be paying attention during mounting:
W: 8
E: 21.5, 33, 42
Very poor - get special attention:
E: 26 (maybe except new one sent to space this month)
Not possible to receive:
W: 7

The big problem I see with 31.5 and 33. The 33 has to be in center , but 1.5 degree seems to be too much to receive in one LNBF.
The sets with smaller distance than 3 degrees:
15W - 12.5W - no problem , 15W should be not possible to receive in this configuration
4.8E,7E,9.5E - talked earlier (not standard mount for 7E)
19.2E,21.5E,23.5E,26E,28.5E - astra1 does not have to be in the center, 21.5,23.5,26 all have to use not standard mount
31.5E,33E - I do not know now what can be done with it, maybe LBNF with very wide feed for 33e will be the best solution for it ?
42E,45E - I hope 45 is enough strong and the position on the arc makes it enough twisted to mount both in standard holder in 2 degree distance
