Silver Member Username: ChumleyPost Number: 464 Registered: Dec-08 | The lnb for 97w is linear with LO 10750 the lnb for 118 is circular with LO 10750 copy / paste this linear lnb convert to low frequency circular lnb works for so many who want to catch the 118 anik. C & P from nbg562 in filipino forum Here are the steps to convert your standard linear LNB to a circular LNB to be used for satellites broadcasting in the FSS using circular polarization such as Anik F3 at 118W. Materials needed: a) Sharp knife b) Plastic strip (an expired credit card, or your ROM3 CAM's are good for this purpose) c) Ruler d) Teflon tape e) Screwdriver or butter knife (I used the butter knife) Note: If you remove the dustcap of a circular lnb and a standard linear lnb, you would notice an obvious difference. It is the absence and presence of a plastic strip inside the feedhorn of the linear and circular lnb's, respectively. Procedure: Remove the lnb's dustcap by first twisting and pulling it out of the feedhorn until there is enough gap for you to insert your screwdriver/butter knife (if you can not twist it, just go ahead with the next step). Pry the dustcap off the feedhorn. Don't worry, there is nothing that gets damaged inside. If you examine the inside of the feedhorn closer, you will see notches where you will insert the plastic strip. Using your sharp knife, cut a strip from your plastic card measuring 19mm wide (to allow for error) by 32mm long (my strip is 40mm long). Actually, the plastic strip inside the circular lnb measures 18mm x 32mm. Try to insert your strip along the notches inside the feedhorn oriented like a forward slash, if it won't go in, just scrape the sides of your strip until you can insert it...make sure it is reasonably snug. Wrap a few turns of Teflon tape around the rim area of the feedhorn if you damaged a part of it when you removed the dust cap to seal the inside of the feedhorn. Replace the dustcap. That's it! You're done! You now have an FSS lnb with circular polarization. Receiver settings: LNB type: Standard or Single LNB freq: 10750 www.ftatalk.com/showthread.php?t=190948 |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 10199 Registered: Jan-08 | Chumley As I says many time, convert a LNB is not the best thing to do, because you lose many db with this, the best is buy a new one for 15$. This modified LNB can't get all frequencies available on this position which is 118.75W and 119.0W, so you must have 2 dishes and 2 LNB's where only one is needed with the 15$ LNB. But thanks Chumley for the info furnish many time by King in old posts.  |

Silver Member Username: ChumleyPost Number: 465 Registered: Dec-08 | Plymouth , i have not tested this , others have and claim it works. The OP stated he didn't want 119w , so no need for the setup you describe. I don't recall a post like that from king, if he did good for him ..the info needed to be posted again..as you know info is always repeated at this site.. Do you claim to be the source of REBOOT ?  |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 15633 Registered: Jun-06 | Converting a linear LNB to a circular to save $15 is the most stupid thing you can do. You WILL NOT GET the full performance of a special made circular for 118.7W. |
