[Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't C band LNBs normally output at 950-1750 and not 122?

My apologies Woody, I've never seen C band MMDS stuff before. I checked Cal Amps website too, and while it doesn't list the exact model number, the range fits in with their other S band stuff. And I've never seen C band TV stuff that wasn't waveguide input....

George, would you be so kind as to foward Cal Amp's response?

73, Drew

Hi George:

I wish that I had read your email BEFORE I bought two of the units.  Oh 
well, I'll find something to do with them.
