Jmc, I have the Fortec 6 foot which is similar in design and setup. If you can get the larger WSI 8 footer go for it. I recently changed mine to a pole mount and added a Gbox acuator too. Kinda neat sitting in the house and not having to move that dish. I watch more cband now than kU stuff. Blind
36" Primestar on SG2100 motor scanning KU from 63W-125W, Fortec 8 Foot with Geosat CK1 Lnb, and HARL2424 Powertech acuator and Gbox scanning 72W-139W, SSO/ Sathawk HD PVR800,DSR-410, TechSat tracker II lnb on KU dish..
Rest In Peace Charlie.(10/12/29)-(4/26/11) Dad, you taught me how to use electrical tape and use coax fittings. I and my FTA hobby thank you!
