what is this Ku feedhorn?

[gpat]

Where did this come from and will it do circular or linear or both?
Can I mount it on my BUD next to the C band feedhorn and find a spot
on the dish it will pick up something?

linear
one polarity ( depends on the way you mount it)
probably a direcpc or something like it.

will work good for FTA

one thing . when aiming a lnbf that is for an offset dish at a prime focus dish there will probably be signal loss

Yea I was pretty sure of the signal loss thing and having such a large dish will most likely amplify things
But my thought was to use it for one polarity and my co rotor for the other not switching it back and forth with the servo,instead using a Disque switch at the unit since I only have 2 coaxs to the dish.(still use C band).
Anyway now that my Ku problems are fixed I needed something else to mess with.


If it anit broke mess with it till it is!

well I just had to try it for laughs
Maybe it can be zeroed in on a Ku analog but I cant get it to do a digital lock
on X0 644.
Im sure I was asking too much out of it as Ku digital isnt easy on a perfect day.
Now if it was C band analog thats a different story
