You will be astounded with the signal you will get from one of these 
ownconverters.  I used this modification:

for ao-51 s band downlink? 75 ohm out and looks cheesey but
ess than $30 shipped. it's cheap enough for me to play so I
ought one to experiment with, maybe just to remove the
ownconverter. I would welcome stories of your experience or
ust advice.
