Id be leaning towards C/ku, 1,8m is an overkill for KU but the equivalent (or there abouts) of a 2.3m mesh.
That way you would still get the main ku channels and C band ones too.
Hi Guys,
The LNB on my 1.8m (solid) Prime focus dish appears to have died, (Ku 11300, it is only a 15 years old unit too... )
I use this dish for AS4, D2, C1, D1, I8, ATM
I am thinking about replacing it with a Prime Focus Ku Universal LNB,
I then may get some more channels on some more Ku Satellites too,
or do you think, I should I be replacing with a Ku 10700 LNB or a Ku/C LNB Combo, or just a C band LNB ?
& Where would be a good place to buy it ? I live in the NSW Hunter Valley area, but, don't mind paying for postage,
Your thoughts appreciated
Cheers

Thanks Godzilla,
I'm leaning the same way now too,
I'm thinking about this one,
correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it looks like having a Universal Ku band LNB & a normal C Band LNB,
& it's for a Prime Focus dish,
Thanks for your reply,
cheers

Yep, universal for ku, normal c band and for a prime focus dish. Also does both polarities.

For the combined Ku/C Band lnb, how do you tune this? Is there any trick to it?
I mean which band do you use when tuning a focusing the lnb?
They both get the signal coming through the same wave guide.
Its one LNB with 4 probes inside, 2 for C and the other 2 for Ku.
Obviously you could use any band, if pointing to a Cband sat use cband, if pointing to D2 use Ku band for tuning.

I just ordered one of these
We'll see how it goes. I saw those strongs just after I bought this but if specs are anything to go by this seems a little better. It's a Universal Ku and C so that should have me covered.
