@kr1st Yes, with that it's possible to see a lot of what can be done with the '7300 or the '705

@ftg Doesn't look too bad. Interesting to see the results.

@ftg I have a couple of those, and I should probably copy this.

One could be used for a 10G preamp, maybe.
Then again I have a ton of more modern LNBs, some I got for free, so they could also be used as preamps.

And now it looks like this. Free hand sawing the excess LNB did not make it look particularly good.
Now I just need to verify it's performance.

At some point in time, this satellite TV LNB cost 100 Finnish Markka's (FIM).
Now it is dead scrap and becomes a WR-75 waveguide to SMA adapter.
