Open question.Is there a difference btn a ku band and c band in name or make?

Hi Psolo and the rest of the house? There is a differnce. first, generally ku band lnbs are smaller in size than the c band lnbs. Technically, ku band lnbs receive linear polarized frequencies while the c band lnbs receive circular polarized frequencies.They are non super-imposable. Ku band lnbs are designed to work best on offset dishes while C band lnbs are for prime focus dishes. However Ku band lnbs are also widely used on prime focus dishes. ASAS has pushed Some forum members into trying the C band lnb on offset dishes too. Good evening.

Mambo vipi Elyakim. I am not an expert but I suggest u upgrade 2 8ft. Going by similar posts on this great forum, it seems 6ft may not deliver well on KENYAMUX@10e. Why dont we ask other members living next 2 u 2 feedback their findings. Hey GURUS PLZ RESCUE ELYAKIM. Info on voi 10A@10e footprint coverage is welcome. Thx members, u guys r great.

Greetings to you all. HIGHLANDS PATRON, AMEN. To your question, its very possible. On my 2.4m set up, i have 7e as prime, then 10e, 17e and 20e. with 10e as prime, make an incision deep enough inside your c band lnb holder to accommodate the 7e lnb. However, i haven't tried this yet for i prefer 7e as prime. Be blessed.

Riwira have the 8ft prime focus at 21k. They now also stock the samson quad.

hallo 2 u MRMWASH. 4 starters I hope by offset lnb u mean ku-band n by pf lnb u mean c-band. Honestly speaking de choice of primary or secondary lnb on prime focus setup solely DEPENDS on de birds u want 2 nail besides what is practically possible on ur target sat combo or setup. As ALWAYS da bigger da dish da better. Pliz check out da followings setups from this n other fora. Note that da c-band on de 3rd pic has been positioned as prime lnb on offset dish. Interesting isnt it? BUT AS THE GURUS IN THIS HOUSE SAY, WITH FTA ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Fta is kinda a spirit. So in the spirit of fta mrmwash fumbua mbinu mpya. I saw somebody nail NILESAT with an upside down dish.

I received info that family tv is in talk with other local stations to have Kenyan mux on ku and they will be migrating from Amos5. Only NTV are yet to agree
