The most powerful C_band LNBF for FTA...

[Anole]

GEOSATpro C2 is no longer available.

Think I'm sitting on a 6-pack of 'em, never deployed.
Guess they just became more valuable as trading material! -

Brian, I have to agree with the sentiment above about a PLL C-band LNBF.
And dual output, too.
Might want to think about dual out Ku, while yer at it.

And lastly, for the OP, you could consider a C-only ortho @ around $50-75
and two C-band LNBs @ $12-20 each (High qual costs more like $50 ea).
That's a more complex solution; just giving you all the options.
If you're going low budget, then it's C2 !

Don't get distracted with a C + Ku LNBF.

I ran a DMX241* for about 3 years with satisfactory performance. Needed to replaced because of water infiltration(I saved it, cut the covers glue seal and flushed with alcohol. Will require weather cover is put to use again. So it's just a spare now)
My thoughts are whichever you do purchase there will be in-perceivable difference in performance. Just be sure to tune it up the best you can. That makes the biggest difference.
*Think it's the same as the ESX241. just a brand name change a while ago.
But your title "The most powerful" would have to be an Orthomode feed horn with 2 LNB's (1H, 1V) Best choice for weak signals.

Thank you Fat Air...I will try the 241 option first but looking at Orthomode feed horn.Is this too expensive?

 

[Magic Static]

Expensive? depends... if you watch and wait, good deals will be found. Right here on this forum I picked up an ortho with LNBs for $65 Cheap!

 

[farwest5050]

Thank you Magic Static,$65 is a good deal...Looking forward to get it soon....have a great day.

 

[wallyhts]

That's a deal.

You can't even buy the dual feed from the jerks at chaparral that cheap.

...and you'll need to hook up an ortho through a multiswitch.

Read up on 'em, and don't go off half cocked
Plenty of introductory material on-site.

An orthomode feed allows my cheap WSI 6 footer to pick up "some" of the 9/10 FEC, DVB-S2 feeds . That's saying a lot for the cheap 6 footer. A larger dish , say a 10 footer, should really rock with an ortho feed.

I got a question for you my friend:
Is the BSC 621 LNBF HD ready? I have one and I am thinking of buying a GEOSatPro HD receiver since there are many channels going to HD.I guess all of ones wll be that way in the nearby future.Hope you or another guy can clear me...Have a good one.

There is not such thing as a HD ready LNB, nor is there such a things of a HD ready antenna. Both an Antenna and LNB pick up signals and send them down the coax, its up to the device connected at the end to decode whatever that signal is. So with any LNB and DISH as long as you have a good signal you can use a box like the microHD to enjoy the HD programming (and SD programming).

Thank you Scott.I can't wait either!! For now I am going to a HD system...
