Ok, maybe it's just me, but I can't find the dimensions for the throat on the SL1 PLL.
When I want back to pick up the Channel Master LNB adapters from the seller of my 50 dollar "pile of dishes", I sorted through his LNB and switch box. I scavenged a couple of 30 and a couple of 40 mm LNB bracket adapter and any spacers he had for linear LNBs.
Amongst the various bits I picked up appear to be spacers that would let me install LNBs of 40 mm, 30 mm, or 23 mm diameter on a CM dish.
And, I'm considering all my options. When I first started this discussion I was trying to see how far I could go with what equipment I had at hand. Once I got approval for the C-band dish from the CEO and actually tracked one down, my configuration possibilities changed.
My current thinking is providing the PBS fixed dish as an option on a second FTA receiver primarily used for independent selection of OTA (Coolsat 8100).
With the previous feedback that I would likely need a 1.2 metre dish for PBS from my location, now that I have tracked one down I would like to use the LNBs I have at hand already to see what kind of signal I can get. I will be out at the cabin again in 10 days on our Canadian long weekend and would like to hold off ordering any other gear until I have a chance to test some reception with what I already have at hand.
I am prepared to buy whatever LNBs allow the general configuration below to work with the minimum of switching complexity.
Motorized C-band dish (BSC421 or 422), Motorized Ku (Geosat SL1 PLL or GEOSATpro SL2 Bullet), Stationary Ku for 125W (Geosat SL1 PLL or GEOSATpro SL2 Bullet)
GeoSat Pro MicroHD (main receiver in living room, motor control), Coolsat 8100 (guest bedroom, takes what it get based on main receiver choices, select 125W independently if/when possible)
