Know before you buy
Phase Lock Loop (PLL) technology ensures the local oscillator remains locked to a precise frequency. This prevents the signal drift commonly found in older DRO-style LNBFs, which is essential for maintaining a stable lock on high FEC DVB-S2 channels.
Yes, the C1W-PLL is designed for prime focus dishes and includes a flat scaler. It fits standard 68mm scalar mounts, making it compatible with most common C-band dish setups.
The C1W-PLL is designed for linear polarization by default. While it can be used for circular reception, you will need to install a dielectric slab into the feedhorn to convert the signals.
Yes, it is specifically optimized for weak signal reception. With a low 15°K noise figure and 65dB of gain, it is an excellent choice for hobbyists trying to pull in difficult or distant transponders.
The unit is built with a heavy aluminum casting and finished with a snow-white poly coating. This construction, combined with integrated cooling fins, allows it to withstand harsh outdoor conditions and maintain performance in high temperatures.
Polarization is controlled by the voltage sent from your satellite receiver. The LNBF switches to vertical when it detects 11.5–14Vdc and to horizontal when it detects 16–20Vdc.
