* The single-feed, L-P band dual-frequency receiver was installed at the primary focus of the telescope, and therefore requires the parabolic configuration. It allows for simultaneous observations at L and P bands. The polarization type is linear but is also transformed to circular thanks to a hybrid converter.
(MB) means that the Multi-Beam option is available for observations in K-band with the TP, SARDARA, and SKARAB backends.
* A single-feed C-high band receiver is installed at the Beam Wave Guide (BWG) focus of the telescope. The polarization type is circular.

LP-band Filters
----------------
Different RF filters are available for the LP-band receiver. Although it is a coaxial receiver package, the control system sees it as a group of three different receivers, each one with its own code:
For the PPP receiver (P-band), there is one available filter (with code L2XX for linear or C2XX for circular): 300--360 MHz (which is needed to exclude RFI at higher frequencies).
For the LLP (L-band) configuration, the following filters are available for linear or circular polarizations:
* XXL1 (for linear) or XXC1 (for circular): all band, 1300--1800 MHz (no filter) (not recommended)
* XXL2 (for linear) or XXC2 (for circular): 1320--1780 MHz
