CONTEST!! Enter to Win: Titanium C2-PLL C-band Interference Filtering LNBF

[Phalaenopsis]

This is my a picture of my 90cm dish back when it was aimed at 103w. I can’t wait till springtime so I can start tinkering with my FTA toys again.

Here's some photos when I first got my new 7.5ft SAMI and brought it home, rehabbed it, and did all the work to get it set up. That cedar tree right next to it got trimmed a little bit more after taking these photos:

Here is my 7.5' Unimesh before and after I got it home and fixed it up.



I still have the dish but have upgraded to a 10' KTI. The Unimesh dish mount is still in use on the KTI.

My 8.5' BirdView in my backyard right after I got it. (Looks like an old fashioned UFO).

The Birdview pedestal base and the motor. The motor wasn't in great shape so I had to get it working and build a position sensor for it.

The Birdview setup with mirror film. When the sun hit it, whatever was at the focal point would either ignite or melt!

The Birdview fully assembled with a Quaker Oats Cantenna for receiving L-Band

As you can tell from these pictures, I do a lot of experimenting with my dishes and feed systems. The Birdview is quite versatile for mounting various types of feeds, since I can cut a piece of 1/2" PVC sheet with a jigsaw and use it to hold any size or shape of feed. For FTA use I have a PVC circle with side by side holes for C and KU Band LNBFs. Currently the Birdview is holding a square septum feed for L-Band dual circular polarity (used by NOAA's GOES-16 and GOES-17 weather satellites).

When rainy season ends here, I plan to put a microphone at the Birdview's focal point and see how well it does as a sound antenna.

We have two winners of the new C2-PLL LNBF 2 output model with interference filtering and free shipping.

Congratulations to brct203 and primestar31!

Please claim you prize by replying to this thread before March 21st. If a prize is not claimed by that day, we will randomly draw another winner.

Thanks to everyone who shared photos and descriptions of your satellite systems! Fun to see what others are using in this great hobby!

 

[Brct203]

Well, I am very excited to be one of the winners and can't wait to start using that LNBF!

I will most likely use it to replace my C1W-PLL as my main LNBF, and use the C1W-PLL with its dielectric slab for the circular birds, mounted to the side of the C2-PLL scalar.

Thanks again Titanium for running this contest and for your generosity!

 

[primestar31]

Whoo Hoo!

Thanks, Brian. I appreciate all you do to support NA fta satellite, and this will be a good replacement for my older C2W-PLL that has no filtering.

I love these contests, and it's always fun to win!

Congratulations to brct203 and primestar31. I just ordered three of these LNB's three or four weeks ago. Have 2 of them already installed. They work great.

Congratulations Brct203 and primestar31!!!!
Thanks for the contest Brian

 

[catthepatch]

Congrats to the winners, enjoy your new toys!!

Oh well, maybe next year. Still saving up for an C band LNB, as I just invested in a new MIO and the savings are in the dump.

Happy Testing!!!

Is that all ya got? Pshawww.

Is that GI/Motorola remote for a DSR-922 or a Shaw/Star Choice receiver?

Nice looking country around you’re place. Where are you located?

He's in Roseville, CA. It says so right under his user name.

Thanks. Yes, Roseville as primestar31 said. We have a corner lot on 6/10th of an acre with a greenbelt on two sides.

Nice views and plenty of space for the dishes. Also not far from Titanium's shop and SatelliteAV. This is the 'Silicon Valley' of FTA

And congratulations to primestar31 and Brct203!

I always look on the app, it doesn’t show locations.
