The LNB that he uses has a LO stability range, I quote "L.O. Accuracy & Stability Within +/-1.5MHz ". I'm glad it works with a broader range.

<p>Has anyone here built their own setup for connecting with the Blockstream satellite network?</p>

<p>I'm still looking for a cheap low-noise block downconverter.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>PLL LNB (linear polarization) w/ &lt; = 200kHz LO stability</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The ones I can find range from $100 -> $200..</p>

<p>Seems like 200kHz is not required, broader ranges are acceptable.
"L.O. Accuracy &amp; Stability Within +/-1.5MHz" seems to do the trick and they are considerably cheaper (~15$).</p>
