Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3653 Registered: Oct-06 | Hello everyone I got a great question for Satellite hobbyists Can yo put a linear LNB on a 24" dish? Can yo get FTA on a 24" dish? The answer is yes mainly on Galaxy 18 at 123.0°W But it depends on where yo live East cost is the only answer I never tried it But I advised few hobbyests on the east cost they came back thrilled to tell me it does work great But yo have to look at the map below:  Here is how to: - first look at map to determine yor location - Basic linear LNB - Dish 500 or old DTV dish 20" to 24" - Yo'll need to determine 3 items: * Azmith * Elevation * Tilt skew for LNB Use: Put yor zip code and selecting Galaxy-18 123W Please note linear LNB requires rotation inside its universal bracket or entire dish to be moved if yo are using rectangular linear LNB Make sure yo use a KuLo LNB (KuLo=11.7G) This is a great LNB can work as Linear or Circular even on 118.7 Zinewell ZKF-G52N or digiwave 12.2-12.7GHz It's a dual LNB for about $20 Can work on an old DTV or dish 500 I base my calculation on a 49dbW Dish size 55" to 65" from above table Average is 60" 60/2.5=24 BELIEVE ME GUYS IT WORKS Yo can also get C-band on a 1.2Meter dish https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/498353.html |

I see this satellite this morning on Lyngsat, but not scan it. I scan Galaxy 18 tonight and i get 20 channels, but i have a big tree btw the dish and 123W position. This satellite provide a strong signal if i consider my location and the neighbor tree directly in signal. I am sure than everybody from USA and Canada can get this satellite from a dish size btw 18" and 36". The interesting thing is: this is probably the best satellite Ku Free to Air Local Channels for now. Thanks for the info King |

Note i get many channels not available if i look on chart from Lyngsat from my position with a small 90cm dish. |
