VBox II Positioners back in stock

These positioners are back in stock and will start shipping out in January of 2024. Powered by 36 V DC with a maximum current rating of 3A, they will let you move any dish up to 12 ft in diameter. We also have heavy-duty 36-inch, 24-inch and 18-inch actuators in stock.

If you recently refurbished a c-band dish or are in the process of doing so, we got everything you need to get it on the Clarke Belt. Watch thousands of channels from hundreds of satellites without a pay tv subscription!

New Satellite Meters

The latest satellite signal meters for the DVB-S/DVB-S2/DVB-S2X standards are now in the store. Capable of decoding QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK and 32ASPK signals. They support MPEG-2/MPEG4/h.264 and h.265 video formats. Blind scan too.

Get those big dish (C and Ku) antennas accurately tracking the Clarke Belt today to watch hundreds of free channels and say goodbye to those expensive subscription TV services!

Powered Motor Control

Anti-slip actuator clamp locks
Powered Azimuth Kit
Powered Declination Kit
Powered Skew Kit

We now have a variety of motorization options for our c-band mesh antennas in addition to some new products.

First off, if your polar actuator is slipping under high wind loads, you may wish to purchase a couple of anti-slip clamp locks show above.

Second, in addition to polar motorization and elevation motorization using a linear actuator, we also offer the following kits for additional axis motorization:

  1. Powered Azimuth: Simply mount this kit on your pole and mount the antenna on the kit and you will have 360 degrees of very precise powered azimuth control.
  2. Powered Declination: Simply replace the manual declination brackets with this kit and you will have 5-10 degrees of powered declination offset control.
  3. Powered Skew: Simply replace the 4 antenna struts with this kit and you will have a heavy-duty, motorized skew control.

The declination kits utilizes a linear actuator while the azimuth and skew utilize a slewing drive and 24V DC motor with Hall Effect sensor. More technical information and pinouts for the motor can be found on our website. The various powered kits installed on our 12-ft commercial mesh dish are shown below.

Consumer and Commercial Mesh Antennas are available again

We are now shipping 7.5′, 10′, 12′ consumer mesh polar mount antennas as well as 10′, 12′, 15′ commercial mesh polar mount antennas. We also carry 16′-20′ commercial mesh fixed mount antennas. All antennas are new and improved 2022 models.

Commercial Grade 5G Anti-Interference Feed Systems

Lost your C-band satellite signals because of 5G wireless interference? No problem. Tek2000 now carries a wide variety of commercial grade orthogonal feed systems and components that will clear up your satellite reception in no time!

5G interference is caused by the undesired combining of several stronger RF carriers (e.g. f1, f2, f3, …) from one band (3.5 – 3.8 GHz) entering a nonlinear device (e.g. LNA, LNB) and producing unwanted frequencies in an adjacent band (3.8 – 4.2 GHz) that interferes with a much weaker c-band signal (e.g. fc-band). The nonlinear device causes harmonics to appear at the output: 2xf2-f1, 2xf3-f2, 2xf3-f1, etc. This is known as intermodulation distortion and is the reason why your c-band satellite reception will be lost if there are 5G transmitters in your vicinity.

Here is an example:

5G RF carriers: f1=3.5 GHz, f2=3.7 GHz, f3=3.75 GHz

Interference Output: 2xf2-f1=3.9 GHz

Interference Output: 2xf3-f2=3.8 GHz

Interference Output: 2xf3-f1=4.0 GHz

Notice the resulting c-band interference at 3.8, 3.9 and 4.0 GHz. In reality, the 5G wireless provider may be using dozens if not hundreds of different carrier frequencies between 3.5-3.8 GHz, which will result in intermodulation distortion across the entire upper c-band spectrum.

The only practical solution to this problem is to suppress the 5G carriers. This can be done either with an LNB microstrip filter or mechanical waveguide filter or a combination of both. LNB filters are effective for mitigating light 5G interference that is off-boresight. To mitigate much stronger 5G interference that is closer to boresight, a waveguide filter is necessary to suppress the interference before it enters the LNB and passes through any nonlinear devices.

If you are a TV or Radio station and already have an orthomode feed system, then all you need to purchase is our waveguide post filter. You can use it with the conventional LNBs that your already own and it will likely mitigate your 5G interference without further action. Best of all, unlike our competitors, we sell the waveguide filter at a price point that won’t break the bank!

If you require the orthomode feed assembly, then we have two solutions:

  1. 5G Light Mitigation Feed System (Dual or Single)
  2. 5G Strong Mitigation Feed System (Dual or Single)

We also encourage backyard satellite TV enthusiast to upgrade to a commercial grade orthomode feed system if they are experiencing 5G interference. It is the best method for mitigating 5G interference and you can continue using your c-band satellite dish!

5G Anti-interference Consumer LNBFs Available

If you are experiencing 5G interference with your C-band antenna you can get your reception back with our new 5G Anti-interference Consumer Dual Output LNBF! Click here.

The passband for this LNBF is 3.8-4.2 GHz.

Please note that this LNBF works well if you are experiencing light interference on a few transponder over the satellite arc. If you are experiencing extremely heavy interference where almost every transponder is affected, you will need our commercial waveguide filter with sharp bandpass frequency cutoff response to solve your problem. Recommended for TV and Radio stations.
