Title: Hughes BUC on iDirect Modem
Post by peve on Apr 24^th, 2008 at 8:59pm

This is probably a long shot, but I have quite a few of the Hughes 2W ISIS radios and wondering if they would work on an iDirect 3100 modem?

Any thoughts on this one?

I can sell you the Hughes DVBS2 HX modem for service in the Middle Esat to match those heads but you cant use them with I Direct

Thank you for the offer but I am in North America and my company has their own iDirect VNOC, soon to be a true NOC.

This was an idea of the boss, but I didn't believe it would work as I understand it, Hughes BUCs are propietary to Hughes.

If anyone else can add in more technical info I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm also interested to know how the Hughes BUC works, so if anyone knows or has the link to a data sheet please say.

If the LNB is suitable for your intended frequency band and the OMT/filter assembly of type cross-pol or co-pol as you require, I �think you may be able to reuse all of the Hughes RF parts except the BUC, for use with an iDirect modem. �Check that new BUC fits properly to the Hughes transmit waveguide.
