Performance of C/Ku vs. C only feed

[mark_calgary]

I'm about to add a C-band dish to my setup and will need to obtain a feedhorn for it. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with both C/Ku and C only feedhorn performance differences, if any for C-band. As I already have a separate dish (90cm) for Ku, I don't necessarily need a dual band feedhorn but it would be certainly nice to point such a high gain dish at marginal signals or edge of footprint Ku satellites. Most importantly I do not wish to compromise the C-band performance. The cost difference between C/Ku and C-only is not that critical to me (saving money is always nice though).

All comments are appreciated

The loss is so small you will not notice it.

I see no difference.

I would get the C/Ku, otherwise you'll later regret it.
