I used to do C band way back in the day, first analog and then digital. At one point some company's came out with a universal LNBF that was both linear and circular on the Ku side and linear on the C band side.

Is there still such a LNBF? I thought they were called Universal LNBF C/Ku. Google is not helping much.

I am asking for a friend. I'm trying to tell him to us a C band LNBF (not much on Ku) for linear and fixed dishes for circular... any thoughts?

If this has been beat to death in another thread please point me that direction :yes:

TIA, JETS

I know some here dont like it but the titanium dual cband lnb is what i use, works good. The chaparral lnb is better but its only a single. On average it puts out .5 to 1 db gain over the titanium.

I think your suggestions to use dedicated Ku circular is correct, or perhaps run second lnbf sidecar. Circular lnbf have dielectric plate in throat behind scaler. I did some test5-6 years ago inserted dielectric in throat of ku back section of bsc-621 and also test swapped in circular legacy with offset scaler removed both performed poorly on 10ft mesh found it easier to use dedicated for Ku.
