What kind of LNB's are these?

[DualTest]

I have never seen these before. Does anyone know what they are?

11816

[zoogor]

the cylinders look like old *choise lnb's but i've never seen big 'ol eyes like that before.

Found them

Eagle Aspen 270KU Dual Linear

11817

Old ones at that, single satellite dual output legacy linear LNB, +13 and +18 volt switching.

If your going to use them then use the good RG-6 coax with a pure copper center conductor, or you could have transponder switching problems due to too much voltage drop in the coax.

So can these be used on 110W and 119W? They are pointed at it. This dish came with the house.

Yep just make sure you hook them up correct in the back,from what I recall you have 2 places one is lin and the other is circ./reminds me of a prime star lnb.Oh and you can use a switch if you need too.

Thanks guys. Great stuff.

C/P:


The Eagle Aspen LNBF is the most popular and is used with FTA, Ku Band and International satellite installations. It is a replacement lnbf for satellite dish made by Andrew, Channel Master, Primestar and Globecast 70E, 75E and 84E series antennas.Replaces all single and dual output LNBF. The Eagle Aspen is a twin-switched 270 KU dual output LNBF meaning each port is capable of voltage switching (13 Vdc = Vertical Polarization & 18 Vdc = Horizontal Polarization), from the receiver. The advantage of this type of LNB it no longer needs a mult-switch splitter for two receiver installations, simply run a coaxial cable from the LNB directly to the receiver(s).


Eagle Aspen 270KU
Dual Output Digital KU Linear LNBF
Input Freq: 11.7-12.2 GHz
Ouput Freq: 950-1450 MHz

does not sound like they are good for 110 119 at all--linear only and not circular at all.

[slugworth]

the throats may be notched for a dielectric plate,like the old primestars.

[Cooter-Brown]

Your right again Jvvh as I still use one for SES 1 at 101.0°W. great for real fta.Here is great info as I do own some extra lnbs but like I said its ku real fta use,

That may be true, but look at the input frequency range, it is too low to be used for any of the high Ku band circular birds, (61.5, 72, 77, 82, 91, 110, 119 or 129) but at 11.7 to 12.2 GHz they could be used for 118.8 if you had the throat plate for them. (and if they were notched for them)

But at the range that they can receive they are only good for the low Ku band linear birds.

Sorry about that bro I was WRONG again lol. heck its been 6 years sence I messed with the lnb, but hey it wouldn`t have hurt anything if you had tested it :) I do have some extra and one set up,dont use it as I have a motor but was looking for that freedbs to use it on,another NO GO from them kinda like the checks in the mail LOL.Sorry I was wrong any "Hoot". Now thats over if you decide to use one of these look at this pic to see how to skew those bad boys.11822

I think I'll just retire those LNB's to the museum (closet). Hopefully I can still use the base though and plop a 18 inch on there.

You likely could mount standard LNBFs on the dish as is rather than replace the whole thing. I've had good luck bending plastic to use as spacers for mounting undersized LNBs in larger diameter mounts and cobbling together mounts for larger sized LNBs onto the support arms when the smaller sized mounts on the dish was not right for what I was doing. Even those odd rectangular plastic covers for some LNBFs can be mounted on a dish with a little creative cobbling--plastic, wood and iron plumbing hanger strapping are my three favorite materials with decking screws and hot glue as needed--no duct tape yet.
