I just wondered if anyone is familiar with this feed. It is called the Astrotel -PM-93-C/Ku pack. Is it any good? The feed comes with a 17deg c band lnb and a 500khz ku lnb.
 
I've heard that brand name but have no experience with one. Have a feeling the feedhorn may be a chaparral OEM'd for them. Think I may have used some of their LNB's BITD.
 
I have one. Fat Air is close, but ADL is embossed on the side. It was better for Ku than the Chaparral and about the same
for C band. Used for a couple of years, but developed a problem with Ku attenuating the high side of the band according to
my spectrum analyzer and receiver. Never looked for the cure. Had a chaparral corotor given to me. Good unit if the price is right

Have serviced many satellite systems through the years that had these, but never purchased or installed them. Have no performance comparison information, but they didn't seem to fail more frequently than any other brand or model.
