    Jin Pole

    Here's my Jin Pole.I made a loop in the rope near the ground,placed one end of a tuba in it and jumped up and down on it without any movement/slipage.I didn't allow enough for the long neck at the top of the pole so I'll have to think of something or move the top clamp down about 8".:confused:

    Old style SC LNB

    Here are some pics of the old style SC LNB's that I cut in 2 and have been using them as single LNB's.You can see in the first pic where I cut it in 2.The next 2 are current SC LNB's (with built in 22k) that are not seperable.The last shows the first LNB's seperated.They were used with seperate...

    Echostar SRD 7000

    Can I use this VCII "receiver/descrambler/positioner" as described by Gizer 777 in the stickies as necessary for('a VCII descrambler for analog and Digicypher reception') C band.I believe When I asked this before I may have thought it was first generation VCI.I incorrectly asked this earlier in...

    SDR 7000

    I thought Ice told me this was no good but Gizzer777 said in the stickies section that a VCII descrambler would be needed for analog and Digicypher reception.I think I may have thought it was first generation VC.It's a descrambler/positioner.What can it be used for?Thanks:)

    True South

    I have some old sat charts from Global.cm showing elevations and azmuths for N American cities.Using these elevations, wouldn't my (and anyone else's) location (city),always show the satellite with the highest elevation as being my 'true south' sat?I've not seen anything refering to such in all...

    Pipe

    The pipe I got with my 7 1/2' dish is 4 1/2",except at the top where it's 3 1/2".If I get it welded to the other 4 1/2" piece from my 10' dish,then I will have one piece about 15- 20' which would be lots for the 10' dish.If I buy a 3 1/2" pipe for the 7 1/2'er,where could I buy such a pipe...

    In-the-dark

    Torbosat described what I think is the setup on the 7.5' dish I have.The LNB is a "Star Trak",with scalar rings, and there's a small blue/green box on it ("Polar Axis").Am I right in assuming I should get a C band lnbf as I don't have any of the wiring so a single coax would be all I need??Can I...

    SC/DSR305&315_VCII box

    I have 2 SC stb's;1 is DSR305 and the other DSR315.They have both been previously activated.Can either be used for FTA on DCII sats,either KU or Cband?? Secondly,I was given an old VC II box and accessories today.Are there still analog stations viewable with it?What kind of LNB does it need?Thanks
