Square down-converter
New Style Barrel down-converter
NOTE : The LO Frequency setting in the SOLO4 Receiver controller has
changed compared to the older square L-Band (1.1 to 1.4GHz) and S-Band
(2.28 to 2.55GHz) products. The LO frequency MUST be set absolutely
correctly for the system to work properly. This can be set using the Solo4
Receiver controller software – see section 3.3 of this manual for details on
use of the controller.
