    If both LNBs are Universal (LO 9750/10600) then you can't use a 22 KHZ switch.
    If the LNB on the motorized dish is a Standard (LO 10750) then you would put that LNB on the 0 KHZ port (and off in the receiver).
    Then you set up the 99 dish LNB with a LO of 10600 (do not set up as Universal) and KHZ in the on position in the receiver, and on the 22 KHZ port.

    I am using 22 KHZ switches (as well as 4x1 and 8x1 diseqc switches) in my fixed dishes set-up quite effectively. In the past, I have used Universal LNBs on 22KHZ switches without any problem, as long as you follow the above set-up.
    AZBox Ultra HD, Amiko Mini HD265 + Amiko 8x1, 4x1 DiSEqC, 22KHz switches

    Both my LNBs are indeed universal. When I began reading what you wrote it sounded like maybe one LNB could be a universal one but the other had to be specifically a LO Frequency 10750MHz unit. But because your very last sentence stated "In the past, I have used Universal LNBs on 22KHZ switches without any problem, as long as you follow the above set-up." leads me to believe that I still can use two universal lnbs as long as I make the setting adjustments you spoke about.

    Or do I need to get this one too:?

    @Keith Thanks again for the input! I assumed per your instructions that both can be universal LNBs so long as I make the settings you noted. This time my 99 dish pulled in everything it could see. The motorized dish was a no go.

    Just to be clear. can 1 LNB be a universal and the other one like this one ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) or must BOTH universal lnbs be removed entirely from this scenario?

    Thanks!
