Any Idea when the LNB supply PCB will be back in the shop?
Will I be able to buy 2?

They are on order Jim, Noel is expecting them next week I understand.

Why do you need two? The design allows for up to two optional LNB boards. They are not required if you don't need an LNB supply and quite unlikely most people will need more than two LNBs, not even in Greece.

Do not fall into the trap I just find myself
I went through WinterHill BOM and ordered all parts from Digikey.


I ordered the Advanced Receiver PCB which clearly states that the SMDs are not included.
I also ordered a LNB Supply PCB that is pictured fully populated and makes no reference to only being a PCB

I guess I was naive in assuming it was an OTS Module, as I received a blank PCB.

Delving deeper into the forum pages I found the BOM etc.

I will have to order bits from somewhere but mention it as a warning to others not to be an idiot like me :-)

Hi Nick,

that was my first thought too. But when I saw the price of the PCB 3.50GBP it was obvious that it was for the unpopulated
Board. The price for the componants alone add up to about $18 when ordering from Digi-Key.
I have attached a link below which has all of the parts listed, including layout and circuit diagram.

Just click on the message from G0LJF ... RT_Module_Farnell.xlsx file.
