    I have been having a hell of a time trying to find a dual universal prime focus lnbf for my 8' solid and EB suggested invacom. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any North American dealer that has it in stock so I purchased one in the UK. This is a flange lnbf which is used in combination with a c120 feed horn. I can't wait to slap this on my dish and maximize signal quality as this lnbf will see all my dish and not partially with the lnbf I'm presently using, which is meant for an offset dish:

    Let me know how that one works. I have been looking at the 4 port inverto quad for my comtech dish.

    Not knocking the Inverto brand but we had some of those lnbs to test and they did not work at all. There is going to be bad pieces made in any production run but getting a bad piece like that for testing does not build confidence.
    Invacom has treated me well. I have some of their lnbs about a decade old and still running good. We will have to see how these new pieces perform. i plan to be upgrading a 1.8 meter prime focus dish for the Atlantic. It will have similar pieces as Costa, but I too am looking for a quad Universal lnb. Right now, it looks like Invacom for me too.

    This is a single output one that is pretty cheap.

    11.70-12.2 GHz, LO 10.75

    That cheap LNB is not going to be much good in the Atlantic. Many transponders are below 11.70 for those satellites.

    OK I get it, that one is only for high band. would one that goes from 10.7-12.75 cover everything I need for linear Ku? Or is that still not enough?

    10.7-12.75 Is about the most coverage you can get in a fta ku lnb. Those are the lnbs that we use for the Atlantic satellites.

    All you need for North America is a standard 10750 lnb for satellites above 61.0West.

    Mail man just came a knocking on the door with my Spring project- get total coverage of my 8' prime focus solid. Just a note that the adjustable c120 feed horn is an invacom. Once installed all ku sats should scan in at 99% signal quality as this lnb is meant for a prime focus dish and the lnb I am using at the moment is for an offset dish. I can't wait for the snow to disappear and the temps to start rising:

    No need to wait because there is not any snow here.
    Send those parts to me and I will test then for you!
