iDirect 5150 Modem on top of UPS. The white box on the floor left of the modem is a 60 VDC power supply for the 8 watt BUC. The iDirect modem cannot supply enough power to drive the higher power BUC. Be careful not to mix up your two coaxial cables, if you send that 60 VDC up to the LNB it's probably going to fry. Also, don't mix up the in's and outs of that power supply coming from the iDirect modem or you may fry it too, if sending 60VDC into the TX output connector of the modem, voltage which should being going to the BUC, not to the modems TX output. I believe the folk who received this kit tried to put it on the air without me and did exactly that, after that the L-Band RF output of the iDirect modems TX output was more than 30 dB low, too low to drive the BUC.
