    Need New Mesh for a Unimesh 10'

    Hello and thanks for reading my post. I have a friend who has a damaged Unimesh 10' bud. Some of the mesh is damaged. Is it possible to buy new mesh so that we could repair the dish? If so, who manufactures it, and where could I get it. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    Hello and thanks for reading my post. Could someone please ID this 10' Bud for me. I think it's a Top Ten. We used the Top Ten Manual to set up the Elevation and Declination angles, but we weren't able to lock on to our True South Sat Anik F3 (118.8)(we're in Socal). To set True South, we...

    OTHER Sadoun HH Motor Question

    Hello and thanks for reading my post. I've got a GeoSat Pro 90cm Ku dish with a Sadoun HH Motor. My True South position here in SoCal is 118.8. Right now I can't go any further East than about 61w. This is most likely because I set my ZERO position to True South. Therefore the motor runs...

    I don't have a picture of it ... but down at the corner gas station there's a Ku V-SAT dish just sitting on the ground beside the station. It has one of those mounts on the bottom of it that you stack bricks in. It's fiberglass, a little dirty, but appears to be in good shape. It's the...
