Agreed. Panamericana still glitches slightly more than it was originally doing with the C2-PLL lnbf. Willax seems to be solid now with the Norsat 8000. A big sawdust pile is probably the only permanent cure.

I doubt the Panamericana channel issue is fixed with lnbs because you have had different lnbs on this transponder and the problem still exists.

Esatcominc responded. The only DRO in stock is the 8525R. I didn't like the LO stability of +/-500 kHz so I canceled the order for now. Esatcominc was very helpful with info to help me decide what was best for me. I will probably buy a 5250RF or better PLL from them in the future once I get everything else sorted out.

For now purchased and installed:
1) NOS Norsat 8000 DRO Digital C Band. 3-7 - 4.2
LO Stability 500 : Temp 35K : Gain 60
Installed on Channel Master dish, Horizontal side

2) NOS California Amplifier. Slimline II. C31012-SL  HEMT LNB 3-7 - 4.2   
35 degree : Gain 62 (Assume a DRO?)
Installed on Channel Master dish, Vertical side

Both H and V signals improved compared to the Chinese lnb's. BUT only slight improvements on 113W, 116W. Still some dropouts on Panamericana channel, but seems to be better than before.

Going to do some tree and limb removal before considering some more expensive lnb's. 

Ebay seller esatcominc is a lnb dealer. IMO, get the 5250RF if that is the only model available in that price range. You can always return it as long as it is not damaged.

Well I ordered the 8225RF DRO May 13th. Didn't see the "Before placing order, please contact us for availability." But the listing says they have more than 10 available.
I got an email today that says that model is discontinued and asks will I accept a 5250RF PLL.

The listing:

New Norsat 8225RF, C-Band DRO LNB 3.7 - 4.2 GHz ±250 kHz Stability F Type 75 Ohm

...

*****The listing is for customer who are still looking for 8225RF****
******Before placing order, please contact us for availability*******

*****8225RF is discontinued and replaced by new model 5250RF*****
*****5250RF is PLL LNB and works more stably and accurately*****

Anyway, I replied that I need a 8225RF due to lower power consumption. We'll see how they respond. Just my luck.lol.

*** SOLD***

Ah, I was misinformed. I thought a PLL was the 'best' and the wave of the future so to speak; While a DRO was kind of antiquated. Thanks for the info, Elbandido.

I don't care to lock data or even radio. I don't like searching for feeds either.

A passive multi-switch is much simpler in my opinion. Plus I have spares if needed.
