Polarotor Connections

[adrian]

How do one connect a C band LNBF with polarotor to receive linear and circular transmissions to present day receivers.Or ,can present day receivers be modified to take the three polarotor wires.

I believe the modern Pansat 2800 and 3500 FTA receivers can run your polarotor.
Check the docs to confirm.


As for Circular C-band and Linear C-band, I don't know how to do that on the one LNB
I've seen a plastic slab you insert into the throat of the horn to turn your linear into a circular, but no way to do that on the fly.
If there is, I'd like to know too.

Polarotor

Thanks Anole.Writing from Africa i was hoping for an easy way out as we have several satellites which have circular polarity.Then there are four satellites which have linear H/V polarity and when i remove the Teflon plate ,there is a dramatic increase in signal strength on these satellites.Do you have C band satellites with circular polarity?
For the record i have ascertained that a polarotor LNB can be connected to the Pansat 2700 and 3500SD.Any member wishes to come in on this subject?
