SR2014 Satellite Receiver

The Radio Shack C-Band Dual-LNB is intended for use as an upgrade for
standard Radio Shack Home Satellite Television (HSTV) systems. You can also
use it to upgrade some other single-LNB satellite systems.

When you use a C-Band Dual-LNB Feedhorn with a satellite system that has 
more than one receiver, the number of satellite channels available for 
independent selection by each receiver doubles from 12 to 24.

You also need the following accessories when you install the dual-LNB
feedhorn:

Dual-LNB Switches (Cat. No. 15-2001)-one for each satellite receiver in 
your system.

Two Coaxial Cables Between the Dish and House-a second coaxial cable is 
provided in Radio Shack's standard satellite system cable.

An Additional C-Band LNB-for the earlier Radio Shack HSTV receiver (Cat. 
No. 16-2501),you need an LNB that converts the satellite signals to the 
430-930MHz range. For the new Radio Shack HSTV receiver (Cat. No. 16-2507)
you need an LBN that converts the signals to the 950-1450 Mhz range.Both
types of LNBs are available by special order from your local Radio Shack
store.  

75-Ohm Hybrid Splitter(Cat. No. 15-1141C)

NOTES:  You can use a dual-LNB feedhorn in a satellite system with only one
        receiver. This eliminates mechanical polarity switching at the LNB
        and provides more flexibility of operation if you add more
        receivers later.

        This sheet provides only the instructions for installation of the
        dual-LNB feedhorn. Connections of the LNBs to the dual-LNB switches
        and the satellite receivers should be covered in the manuals for
        those products.

ATTACHING THE LNBS TO THE FEEDHORN

Attach one LNB to each of the feedhorns rectangular openings. This 
procedure is similar to the one outlined in your satellite system 
manual, except you do not use a right-angle wave guide with either LNB.

ATTACHING THE FEEDHORN TO THE DISH

The feedhorn has several sets of holes for mounting it on different 
satellite dishes.

ATTACHING THE COAXIAL CABLES

At the dish, attach one coaxial cable to each of the LNBs. When you
make the connections to your satellite receiver (or dual-LNB switches) you 
need to know which cable is connected to the vertical LNB and which one is  
connected to the horizontal LNB. With Radio Shack satellite systems cables
you can identify the different coaxial cables by their positions within
the complete satellite cable assembly.
