95° Add On For Slimline-5 ... Planned But Never Made???

[TheTechGuru]

There is a space in the plastic that appears to be in the correct place for a 95° LNBF, does anyone know if one was ever produced that fits?

 

[Jimbo]

None that I have ever heard of.

 

[Mr Tony]

nope because the issue is the 95 LNB would have to be boresight since KU is lower powered. That would be offset in that picture

More specifically, FSS band.

 

[Mr Tony]

same thing.....

11.7-12.2 is the KU/FSS band...lower powered
12.2-12.75 is the DBS band in North America...high powered

But it's offset on the official International dish that gets 101 + 95 (the one in the top left of the pic) and that dish only looks a inch or two bigger than the slimline.

 

[Mr Tony]

no it isn't. The 95W LNB is boresite (aimed right down the arm). The 101 LNB is offset. I had a DirecPc dish which was pretty much the same thing

the slimline is 33x22
the world dish is 36x24

So then what is that empty space in the plastic for? Just to make it look uniform on both sides from the outside?

 

[Mr Tony]

probably

 

[Stargazer]

Just a different design than what Dish Network had with their SuperDish and currently has with their 1000.4

not going to work tried and fail.

12.2-12.75 is the DBS band in North America...high powered

This is why it is important to distinguish. If Galaxy 3C were Ku DBS band, the proposed arrangement would work.

I think that is exactly what the extra plastic is for, and why it is nothing more than plastic.

but its not so your point is moot
