    I think there may have been some confusion. I was referring to outside diameter of the mount itself, so still need a 2"pipe. :oldlaugh

    I don't think terminal posts will work.....I believe terminal posts are 2 3/8. I need 2" OD. The pipe I have currently is 2 1/8 and does not fit.

    Just measure the EMT. OD is about 2 1/8. Anyone know where I can get a 2" pipe that is actually 2"?

    One mount is aluminum I believe and the OD is 2 1/4. The others are 2 3/8.

    So.....Finally got around to gathering some supplies to make a more permanent setup. Grabbed a 2" EMT galvanized conduit from Lowes to use as my Mounting pole. Most of the mounts on my dishes measure 2" ID, so I figured 2" EMT should work. The pipe seems to be the exact same size as the dish...

    Thanks, I just went back outside following your advice. Came back in and had 90 percent signal strength but only picked up about 3 channels. Not sure if there are only 3 channels available right now or if it is something with my setup. Figured it would be easier to start with the smallest...

    OK, so I havent set a pole in the ground yet, but while I am waiting to get the supplies for a permanent install I rigged up a 36" dish to try for galaxy 19 with no luck. My setup is laughable, but I shimmed a piece of plywood on a tree stump to level it out. Receiver shows 44% signal 10%...

    Thanks everyone for your help. While I have been researching and planning to install my ku dish, I came across a few local free dishes. They include a 48" dish, 36", 30" and one I havent measured, but it is an oval shaped dish. The oval did not come with an lnbf bracket. So I have few...

    Thanks for all of your input. I did not realize that the satellites form an arc. I will start with dishpointer to settle on a location and go from there.

    Hey guys, If this topic has been discussed, I apologize and feel free to direct me to that thread. I recently acquired a used fortec star 30inch (I think) with a pansat motor and fotec star receiver. I have been researching the whole fta thing for a while prior to purchasing. I have picked...
