CALIFORNIA AMPLIFIER 31185 KU lnb

[coinmaster32]

I have a friend that ones to sell me one of these for $10. Does anyone have the specs on it, like the lo stability? It does say .7db on it, and has a red led near the f connector. Would it be better then a +-500khz New Japan Radio LNB?

 

[Mr Tony]

specs they show do say .7DB

 

[coinmaster32]

Hmmm...looks like the output frequency is 10950 to 11700...hope you are after some AOR sats as it might not do too much stateside...

HUH?

The auction states the output of the LNB is 10.950 Ghz to 11.700 Ghz, and so does the label in the picture of the LNB (enlarge it and you can see it). Our domestic FSS satellites are from 11.700 Ghz to 12.200 Ghz. That means no workie in North America. That's probably why the price is so low and so few have been sold...

[ACRadio]

They make LNB's for the Worldwide market....So does New Japan Radio and Norsat...

Well, I guess I can use it in case I ever move to europe for some odd reason, but I guess its useless for my future corotor setup
