    The LNB is sealed with silicone rubber material with hardener.

    Instead I used for sealing after modification: Mannol Multitape, self welding repaiar tape.


    Location:

    Latitude: about 52 degrees (north)

    Longitude: about 8 degrees (east)

    offset Sat Dish: 1 m

    DiSEqC Sat motor

    Single LNB OCTAGON OSLO PLL modified: extern 27 MHz GPSDO

    Receiver: AIRSPY extern 10 MHz GPSDO with SDR# v. 1.0.0.1577

    In the first weeks I'll wait and see how it works for others with QRP in CW.

    My first try on 2.4 GHz TX NB will be done with the following equipment:


    1) WiFi WLAN Signal Booster 5W (ebay No. 112945159735, Fake! not 5 W ---> 1.8 W cold, 1.5 W after 15 minutes quite hot

    or

    2) WiFi WLAN Signal Booster 5W (ebay No. 263850483595, Fake! not 8 W ---> 1.8 W cold, 1.6 W after 15 minutes quite hot

    and

    3) Long-Range WLAN Grid antenna 24 dBi, 2.4 GHz ---> Polarisation not RHCP but only linear H or V (= 3 dB less)
