Hi all,
I have found these and they seem to be for an inline lightning protection and seem to have F connectors. I have mailed the company to find out if they have F connectors and will let you know, but in the meantime have a look, they could just save us a load of money if the dish gets hit by the dreaded lightning. Go to this url and you can see them. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wifi-Antennas.co.uk | High Grade Wireless Antennas > Bluetooth, P2P, P2MP, 802.11b, 802.11b+, 802.11g, 802.11g+ - Lightning Protectors <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I don't suppose that it is against the rules to post this very useful link, if it is then appologies.

Very best regard Wez

For satellite they are a waste of time you need to ground the dish and lnb all my dishes are grounded and i always ground every dish i install

Hi there!

where,i can find 2,4 GHZ Lnbs,for Pfa dishes,for sending/and reiveiving wlan signals?
with 2,4 meter dish gainwinning should be aproximently 40 db,with a sending/reveiving range,of maybe 5 km or more!

Hi Turok,
Welcome to Techwatch.

Do these things actually exist?

The pictures I have seen have used the standard wlan antenna simply placed at the dish focal point.

In fact I think they were using chinese woks and frying pans and stuff instead of a dish.

And of course, not quite sure why you would want an LNB, since no down conversion is required as the frequency is low anyway.
