Two satellites from 1 dish . - AUS-CITY Message Forums

Hey Guys: I need advice on how to set up two offset LNB's on one KU sat dish using diseq switch. I want to know if anyone has tried this(PAS 8 primary~ PAS2 secondary) OR Optus B3 (primary) and PAS 8 (secondary)??? Primary being LNB centre of dish. Secodary LNB offset to the left or right. This is very popular in the UK ...Cheers gents.

Depends on the power on the ground. Use the primary on the weaker signal and secondary on the stronger one..

Pity we cant have one dish that does all and can afford to buy it. this way my motorised setup can have a rest.

Would you please send me the relevant details and where can I buy it? thank you

They work ok providing you keep the spacing to no more than around 10 degrees. it is quite common in NZ for hobbyists to have a tripple lnbf holder with 85cm dish for B3 , C1,B1 of course you will need a diseq switch as well.

Now thats one setup that I don't have.

I would love one of those triple lnb set-ups on my 85cm. Where can I get one?

Ree! Check these threads out u can make ur own for a few $$$ cheaper then buying the thing itself http://www.vetrun.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2088 http://www.vetrun.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3463

Ree! I am going to try picking up C1 and B3 on the single 85cm dish. I won't try B1 as I believe the 85cm may be a bit too small.

topic and tread does not match... this thread should not be here....

Guys , There a place in Sydney that sells torodial dishes called Autosat. www.autosat.com.au Here is a quote they sent me not long ago: We currently have the special price on Toroidal 90cm dish, at A$132.00 (GST including, ex-warehouse price). The diameter of the packing is 1.15m 1.02m x 0.19m.The weight is 17.3 kg. You'd be better off mounting a T-Piece on the LNB and DIY and fine-tunning (dual OK)..Chao4NOW

not a bad price for that dish they usually cost more then that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

I have a 2.4m solid, two 1.8m solids, 2 1.2m solids and a 60cm on my rooftop and another 1.8m on neigbours rooftop across the road. It's easy enough to setup two lnb's on one dish. I have AS2/3 off my 2.4m. You just need to focus on one sat and offset the lnb for the other.

Good idea MDS E
