LNA vs. LNB Feedhorn

[awh]

I have an old dual C-band feedhorn that was used on an LBA system, but I would like to used it with an LNB - is there any difference in feedhorns between LNA and LNB?

No, an LNB will bolt on the same as an LNA. The difference is the downconverter is built in to the LNB.

Thanks! I thought that was the case, but it's been so long since I've worked with this stuff I couldn't remember if there was something different about the probe for an LNA or not.
