  • USE ONE BULLSEYE FOR NB AND WB TRANSPONDER WITH A SPLITTER?

    Lucio,

    thanks again.


    One last question:

    I see that the 2 ports on the splitter work on different frequencies, and the band edges are just close to the 700 MHz (more or less) of the signal to be decoded that is coming from the LNB, therefore I guess there should be a considerable attenuation right at the frequency we'll need.


    I'm sure that I'm not re-inventing the wheel here, but still wondering if this may cause some issues.

    Lucio,

    thanks for the reply.


    I've just realized that the minitiouner has a built in bias tee, therefore the details you've mentioned is a key factor in choosing the right model.


    Do you happen to know any model that I could go for?

    I guess the picture you've attached is one of them, will look for it on amazon......


    thanks

    Hi everyone,


    At the moment i have a fully operational station on the NB transponder.

    I'm using separate dishes for Uplink and Downlink.

    The Bullseye is installed on a 80 cm dish.

    I've ordered the minitiouner (fingers crossed) and I was wondering if I could use the same LNB already installed, maybe with a splitter, to feed both the the RTL-SDR (for the NB) and the minitiouner (for the WB).

    I can easily setup a dual voltage circuit (12 or 18V) to switch polarization on the LNB, so that is not an issue.


    My question is if the splitter is a viable solution, and if the answer is yes, what would be a brand\model you guys would recommend, that has a proven record of minimum insertion losses?


    Thanks
