What is the best LNB-F

[SamR]

Depends what you mean by "best". If you need excellent cross-polar rejection then the Invacom quad-output came out best in tests. This would be important to you if you lived near Alicante or on Cyprus. It would certainly NOT be important if you lived in the UK. So it's important to state which parameters actually matter to you.

Hi guys, could you specify which exact MTI models you have in mind? As some years ago people were claiming the older AP8-T2BL 0.6dB was way much better than the AP8-T2NRC 0.2dB?
Thanks

Well the invacom came out best on tests, yes, but that was the invacom C120 quad. It wasn't really a fair game to compare a C120 with separate feedhorn matched to the dish, with LNBFs with integrated feedhorns not matched to the dishes. A real comparison would have been to either compare the C120 with a smaller feedhorn, adapted to small dishes, and the LNBFs or the other way round, cut the feed off the LNBFs and mod them to C120. Otherwise, this is just a bit of an "apples and oranges" comparison, really.

In the UK the same comparison would have been important too, but not with Astra 2 transponders, obviously. I suppose with Nilesat it would have been the equivalent.

Care to elaborate?
Are you also a language student?
