Post Number: 1515 Registered: Nov-06 | Hey King,Do you have any info on the inline amps causing switches to become defective when installed before the switches?I know ppl say closest to the lnb, but then I would need a dozen and more cable connections,which isn't a good thing for db lose. |

Silver Member Username: TapemanNew York, NY Post Number: 773 Registered: Oct-06 | Jason Actually it is a small camera. It is cool isn't? The bottom part is an alligator clip/stand I don't have this camera yet. But I'm very impressed with its specifications. SatScanner Few basics to consider - Never install inline signal Amp before DISEqC - Always ground coupler or Misc Coax switches - Use good crimped connectors - Must use quality cables like RG-6 Quad I always recommend RG-6 quad shield not RG-6 double shield. DB loss is due to electromagnetic waves interference. Superior shield will limit DB loss tremendously NO NEED TO KEEP IT CLOSE TO RECEIVER. In fact keep DISEqC close to LNB Save lots of cables, ground metal case won't give any hard time. |

Silver Member Username: TapemanNew York, NY Post Number: 778 Registered: Oct-06 | That is a cool piece But do you know it says QPSK wave and MPEG-2 Video main profile Doesn't make sense I don't think it decodes DTV But I think it is the coolest VUSat |

Gold Member Username: SatscannerBeaversbush, Sportsmans P... Great White ... Post Number: 1544 Registered: Nov-06 | Hey King,u got any diagrams or info using dp34 and 22kz switches together? |
|
Silver Member Username: TapemanNew York, NY Post Number: 816 Registered: Oct-06 | I don't But I will look it up for you What are you trying to do? |
|
Gold Member Username: SatscannerBeaversbush, Sportsmans P... Great White ... Post Number: 1546 Registered: Nov-06 | Use a dp34 with 3 of 22kz switches to get 6 sats on 4 recievers.Dp34 is a true diseqc switch,so should work with 22kz,now how well they work together with dp lnb's and standard lnb's is the second question. |

Silver Member Username: TapemanNew York, NY Post Number: 828 Registered: Oct-06 | Hey scanner This switch is being used now by DTV 4 Sats 2 normal polarity switching 2 22kz polarity switching No additional power required Test on your risk I never tried it But according to specs should work straight forward if setup correctly in antenna   |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 8443 Registered: Jan-06 | DTV has been using 22kz switches for many YEARS!...U must make receiver settings corrections (ON/Off) when using these switches... |

Silver Member Username: TapemanNew York, NY Post Number: 831 Registered: Oct-06 | I also posted this on at King's Corner on 12/13/06 https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/322149.html Post # 172  SW44 Allows you to receive signals from 2 different satellites, combining them and connecting up to 4 receivers. Works for all FTA receivers (e.g. VUsat, Koolsat, Paansat) and DTV receivers. No power supply is required as the IRD's voltage is passed to the desired LNB. Since the desired LNB is powered (switched by 0KHz or 22KHz), the IRD's power supply is not overloaded. Mainly just for 2 sats according to manufacturing specs |
