Thanks FaT Air,
I see you have been busy. This is the kind of info that a beginner needs.
I will download it all and save it for future reference.
A suggestion if I might.
Something about how to adjust the feedhorn on a 10' or more BUD.
Can't get to it from a ladder.

FOUND- Page 9
Sorry for the delay, updated account, and had a slight snafu, so couldn't post, Thanks Don! Anyhow, This is everything I know, from installing BUDs during its heyday of analog subs, along with little trinkets learned by reading forum posts over the past years.
Not every question is answered, i'm sure, but should get you pointed in the right direction in getting your BUD up and running.
Happy feed hunting! One night I walked home very late and fell asleep in somebody's satellite dish.My dreams were showing up on TV's all over the world. -- Steven Wright
