Can anyone explain from engineering prospective, why Invacom QPH-031 is so heavy? I have one and like it, but at times I feel its components are obsolete, probably designed about 10 years ago, as there are much lighter LNBFs with better specs on the market now, like GT-Sat brand. I also have one of those, and its very light weight low noise figure LNBF with excellent pic quality and signal sensitivity, and a weather jacket for F-Connectors. I know Invacom Quad is Linear / Circular, etc. But still, what component makes it so heavy, and why its not used in other popular consumer level LNBFs with similar or better specs?
May be its time for Invacom to update the design? I know, Honda Civic sells well, its scary to change anything, but they do put money in product development and upgrade it every year! Especially keeping in mind that Invacom's weight is not an innocent bystander, but a serious drawback for dishes without LNBF Arm Support Struts, especially in high wind. And looking at other brands, its not inevitable in any way. Also keeping in mind that some NA circular sats were not on the orbit when Invacom was designed, and require lower LO freqs LNBF. They have enough clear channels to test your setup and dish allignment, but for some reason one would need a separate LNBF for that, which is silly in a motorized setup, counting again for the Invacom's weight. If other companies make separate LNBFs for LO 10750 Cir and sell them in NA in volumes, its obviously legal, so why its so hard for Invacom to upgrade their spec? Dealers don't ask for that? Especially keeping in mind that it supports LO 11250 Cir. anyway. I think there is a need to ask Invacom to take a fresh look at their product, not just keep advertising it to death. Sure, things will change fast, if some company finally starts making a modern Linear & Circular LNBF.

All of the Invacom LNBFs are larger than the average LNBF, not just the Quad (although it is by far the largest and heaviest of them all). Not sure why, but I haven't given it much thought since I started using dishes with side support struts. It can be a pain when trying to hold the LNBF steady during install on a roof
