    Install new version of TNAP?

    Took a break for a few months and forgot how to do everything. Maddending. Can someone remind me how to update or add a new version of TNAP? I downloaded TNAP 4.2 zip file from legitfta although can remember or figure out how to install :rolleyes: On that same note, can someone point me...

    FTA meter with USALS support?

    Still using my old First Strike FS-1 meter as it works but after de-rusting and repainting my Ku dish, I was considering an upgrade. Are there any meters capable of moving an HH motor?

    WSI 39" Ku dish mount?

    Cleaned up and sprayed my old 39" WSI Ku dish which turned out great but had a question before reassembly as I didn't take any pictures. The rear mount that attaches to the dish isn't perfectly symmetric so is there an "up" or "down side for attaching to reflector? There is small metal lip...

    Advanced USALS dish pointing

    I've been trying to figure this one out in my head but not sure if its possible but here goes. I have line of site from 166E - 55W. The outer limits are beyond the range of an HH motor. Is there a way to setup an HH motor so that the arc is somehow shifted E or W either by rotating the dish...

    C-band dish what type of aluminum?

    I may need to repair a pair of the support ribs on my 10' KTI dish which bent at the mount point. There is no good way to get it into a square tube roller so I think if I heat it up a torch I should be able to bend it back to normal curve using a form made from a normal rib. I was then...

    Vbox "Loc"

    Not sure what I might have done but every time I push a button on my Vbox II remote it displays "Loc" which I assume means lock. I can still manually move dish directly from Vbox but how do I remove the remote lock? Holding down the lock button on the remote does return the display to the...

    Ku on big dish?

    My HH motor recently failed and while I have a replacement, just wondering about possibility of adding a Ku LNB to my 10ft KTI dish? Long ago I tried a combo C/Ku LNB and wasn't happy with the Ku performance but just wondering if a separate Ku LNB added next to the scalar might be sufficient?

    C238 LNBF Dual Output vs. C2-PLL with 5G WiMAX 4G LTE Radar Interference Filter

    Hi Titanium, I happen to visit your store and noticed you had added new LNBFs which I am guessing means you are expecting inventory soon. I currently have your C2PLL with low band filter LNBF and was just trying to compare specs to see differences. As I always appreciate learning from you...

    DVB-S2X or T2-MI feeds?

    Are there any DVB-S2X or T2MI feeds in North America? I was looking at Lyngsat and I couldn't tell.

    Any active transponders on 137w or 139w?

    With all of the repositioning, are there any active C or Ku band transponders are 137w or 139w? Even if its all encrypted, I figure I might as well save the positioning. If not, at least I'm good from 55w-133w :)

    Splitting C2-PLL lnbf output?

    I have a C2-PLL and would like to connect to 3-4 receivers without screwing things up. One of the LNBF outputs will go direct to my primary receiver/Vbox and works fine as is. From the other LNBF output I would like to connect 2 additional receivers which understandably would receive the...

    First Strike Meter FS-1 satellite list loading

    I found my old FS1 and it still works fine however having difficulties loading a satellite list with the software app FS1 Toolbox Ver3.1K. I'm assuming my meter is "K" version as there is a K in the serial number. Driver installed and device is recognized inside Windows. Software runs ...

    Actuator wiring

    After a LONG delay, going to try and re-attach the reflector on the mount this weekend and align the dish this weekend. As this also means rewiring everything, can I get an opinion on which wire to use? For the actuator I'm guessing I just need 4 wire 16 or 18 AWG with some sort of outdoor...

    KTI polar mount

    After years of procastination, finally started process of refurbishing my 10ft KTI dish today :) New pole mounted so it's on to the polar mount. I can probably soak the rust off and re-use but does anyone know where are I can source polar mount hardware, mainly bolts? Please see...

    Conical scalar and Ku?

    Cleaning out garage yesterday and found my conical scalar, which I had used on a miniBUD, and was wondering if it would be of any benefit for Ku?

    Anyone recognize these transponder?

    Going a little stir crazy being trapped at home thought I'd point west and see what I could find. Scanned in a couple transponders trying to find 180E but no TV or radio stations found. Anyone recognize?

    SL1PLL vs. UL1PLL

    Took apart my Ku dish a few weeks ago to replace some rusty hardware and can't find my SL1PLL LNB. As I did find a UL1PLL unopened in box, would there be any downside in performance using that compared to standard LNB? It might be fun to scan some of the eastern satellites but otherwise I...

    KII Pro DVB-S2 box?

    Anyone ever have any experience with KII Pro Android DVB-S2-DVB-T2 TV box? It's basically an Amlogic S905 Android box with DVB S2/T2 tuners. They sell for 70-80 dollars depending upon where you purchase. I don't see expect it to perform as some high end end device but given that LibreELEC...

    Actuator wire guage

    Going to be replacing some wire and may add second run should I decide to change location of positioner. For a run of 150-160 feet, would you recommend 16 or 18 AWG? Out of curiosity, how far can you go with 18AWG reliably?

    Actuator install

    I'm going to remount my 10' KTI and will be installing new actuator. I picked up a Powermax PMA24 from WSI before they shut down which is still in the box but based upon comments I've read it may not be the best option. Any thoughts on installing the PMA24 or should I just skip it and...

    HH motor horizon limits

    Its the weekend and math part of my brain isn't fully functioning so here goes. Is there a way to "cheat" setting up an HH motor so that the dish could be moved thru an arc of only ~70° however it would be between dish elevation of something like 1°- 40°

    actuator range

    Just curious how far off true south people are able to go with their setup? I'm guessing different mounts have different capabilities but what sort of range, ie how many degrees east or west are you able to go with your C band setup?

    C1-PLL - bolt size?

    Had some time to play this afternoon and went out to install C1-PLL but the bolt size for the scalar isn't 1/4" so I'm guessing its metric? I can bring one of the bolts to Home Depot but thought I'd ask if anyone knew the size before I make a trip
