Ka band lnb search

  • After a lot of searching I finally managed to find a Gilat AN8004 but I'm having difficulties and I need a little help.

    In a first attempt I did an experiment just by removing the waveguide and connecting the cable to RX port but the result was disappointing, I didn't get any results running ODU in all positions.


    My location is Spain and I used a 1.35m offset antenna.


    Is Gilat sensitive to diseqc?

    Do I really have to remove the ODU?

    I put the LOF in 20250 MHz with 22KHz on, is this correct?


    -Winegard Mesh 3.10m

    -Famaval 1.80m

    -Gibertini 1.25m

    -TBS6903 - TBS6902 - TBS6922TE - TBS5520SE

    -MediaKind RX8200

    -58ºW <>53ºE

    -KU + KA + C

    -Loc: Spain

  • Ich vermute Diseqc ist diesen LNB egal.

    Die RX-Frequenz des AN8004 liegt zwischen 21400 und 22000 bei einer LOF von 20050.

    Die TX-Frequenz des AN8004 liegt zwischen 29400 und 30000 bei einer LOF von 27700.


    Leider fand ich nur Daten für den AN8002, .....


    Wenn es NUR ein Wellenleiter ist, sollte es egal sein, abgesehen von rein mechanischer Montagemöglichkeit.


    I suspect Diseqc doesn't care about these LNBs.

    The RX frequency of the AN8004 is between 21400 and 22000 with a LOF of 20050.

    The TX frequency of the AN8004 is between 29400 and 30000 with a LOF of 27700.


    Unfortunately I only found data for the AN8002, .....


    If it's ONLY a waveguide it shouldn't matter, apart from purely mechanical mounting options.

  • Project update:


    Due to the state of the ODU I was forced to remove only the lnb from RX part.



    After first tests, it was already possible to visualize channels with strongest signal, I will have to use a bigger dish in the future

    Natürlich ist dein Standort von meinem sehr weit entfernt, aber an sonnigen Tagen schafft man es hier mit 80 cm.

    Es ist nicht auszuschliessen, dass der Azimuth des Ku-Bands nicht dem K-band entspricht.

    Manchmal helfen auch wenige Counts nach ost/West.


    Of course, your location is very far from mine, but on a sunny day you can do it here with 80 cm.

    It cannot be ruled out that the Ku-band azimuth does not correspond to the K-band.

    Sometimes a few counts to the east/west also help.

    Wer nicht die Antennengröße und den ungefähren Standort angibt, postet sinnlos, sofern es um eine Signalerfassung geht.

    If you don't specify the antenna size and the approximate location, posting is useless if it's about signal acquisition.

  • Hinweis:

    1. Die Firma MMCL dürfte nicht mehr existieren, genaue Daten waren nicht zu eruieren.

    2. Das LNB ist nicht für den gesamten D-bereich des K-Bands (21.2-22.2)

    3. Das Feed ist ein Ku-Feed und in dieser Kombination kontraproduktiv


    A notice:

    1. The company MMCL no longer exists, exact data could not be determined.

    2. The LNB is not for the entire D range of the K band (21.2-22.2)

    3. The feed is a Ku feed and counterproductive in this combination

  • That MMCL range were the same as the XMW9000 series. Their normal version was full band.

  • Ja, die Normal-Versionen ALLER namhaften Hersteller sehen anders aus.

    21,2-21,85 ist nun mal eine "abgespeckte" Version und ist auch bei XMW nicht gelistet.

    Das soll nicht heißen, dass das LNB gar nicht funktioniert.


    http://www.mmcl.co.kr existiert nicht, https://www.dnb.com/business-d…e2a21743e695d597d1a9.html hat Ähnlichkeit mit https://www.indiamart.com/


    Yes, the normal versions of ALL well-known manufacturers look different.

    21.2-21.85 is a “stripped down” version and is not listed on XMW either.

    That doesn't mean that the LNB doesn't work at all.


    http://www.mmcl.co.kr does not exist, https://www.dnb.com/business-d…e2a21743e695d597d1a9.html has similarity to https://www.indiamart.com/

  • I use the same LNB as posted above (Typ: MCL-KP04), seller was Ponny.

    It is possible to lock for example: 21954 L/R 60000 on Astra 2F, click! :3:
