Question re Precision LNB's for Corotor II+ FeedHorn

[jsattv]

Took my Scalar ring from my C Band Dish I'm setting up to the Satellite Store today and found out its diameter was about 1/3 of an inch too big to fit a BSC 621 LNB. The diameter for my Scalar Ring (6.5 inches) that I have will fit a Corotor II + and it was suggested to use 2 Precision LNB's:

1. Precision C PMJLMJC - for C Band and
2. Precision KU PMJ LMB KU - for KU Band
They both were priced just below $90.00. Does anyone have any experience with these Precision LNB's, and how do they perform??

Been using a couple of precision lnbs for about 3yrs, well 3on the cband, and about 2 on the ku lnb. No problem that I know of so far, good picture quality, stable for the price. Used them on digital also, got good signal on Montana PBS on AMC3, which I am told is a very narrow signal, harder to lock onto.
I got mine from a place in ARkansas, and I think they have a 1yr warranty.
Not Norsat, but pretty good lnbs.

Thanks for the info TurboSat.

$90 sounds rather expensive for an LNB, unless it is a high-stability model such as a PLL-type model. A quick check of E-Bay will probably turn up many Norsat models at cheaper prices.
