Is there any Cir/Lin C-band LNB's?

[Pixl]

I just got interested in looking at some of the very Eastern sats, but most are circular polarized. I know there is a Ku lnb that can do both cir and lin, how about for C-band?

Both dmx-242 & esx-242 lnbfs have an accessory plastic insert for converting to circular polarity. Never bothered to try this myself as I'm too far west.

The GEOSATpro C2 is one of the best performing C-band LNBFs available. The dielectric slab is included with both the c2 and the C1.

It is a great deal at $25

I had in mind one like the Invacom Ku that has dual outputs, 2 for circular, and 2 for linear so I don't have to go out to the dish to change the dielectric plate.

The C2 with dielectric plate is the most cost effective , and will get you some experience.
Next up, would be a dedicated circular-only BUD.
After that, this 2009 thread by Pendragon gives details on the best answer I've seen posted:

C-band Linear/Circular Orthomode Feed Modification

Only for the serious, though.

Thanks for the link Anole, That thread is some very good reading.
I am beginning to think what I was asking for has not been invented yet.
But I have some new ideas now to experiment with now.

I have the skypack premo from rps with the wideband feed upgrade. I love my circular c-band

What does the Skypack do, can you get cir and lin at the same time?

It's the wideband int feed with lnb's so you would need a receiver that can control the servo. So we will see if this new product from Manhattan comes out Manhattan-Digital: News if it does add that to the rs-1933 and your good to go.

The wideband feed gets linear and circular c-band as well as Linear ku.

I am using the GEOSATpro C2 on one of my 7.5 Unimash dishes works fine on both circular and linear, There is lots of channels on the eastern sats.
