If you do this you will also need another sw 21. If you need one pm me.
Sat 105 and 121 "ARE" KU band lnb's. Sat 110 and 119 are "NOT" KU. So, if you dont have a dual feed horn (and you wont) that can have both (105 and 110) or (121 and 119) lnbs, then "NO you cant use a dish 500. See picture.
Left-121 Middle-119 Right-110
121 and 119 are so close together the must share same feedhorn
Same with 110-105
One more picture. 18" dish and super dish.
My best signal for KU 121 is 75%. But ku band rainfades at 30%.
Same for 105.

So I fudged up and bought a 105 setup, and actually JUST figured out that I needed a 121 setup. :cry: You know of anyplace that I could purchase JUST the 121 feedhorn assembly??
If not possible, is there a way to combine 105, 110, 119, and 121 altogether with another dish and more switches?
