I am pretty certain this type is obsolete it doesn't look right for 9750Mhz oscillator.

I am sure it was 10000Mhz or 96?? or something like that for old analogue transmissions of

Certainly this type is used for Astra 19.2 and 28.2.

Ideally we should use a default LNB type for each Satellite either in libdvbv5, Kaffeine or respective tables.
