    addicted to police pursuits

    I checked out live patrol too. I like high speed pursuits better. There is a pursuit where one of those 707 hp dodge challangers went faster than the helacoptor and got 14 miles ahead. The cameraman could still see him barely . The hellacopter caught up when the car run out of gas!

    addicted to police pursuits

    I think that any way the police can get an idiot stopped should be used. Do you think an idiot should travel at speeds thru a crowded city at 130 mph. shouldn,t be stopped? It really puts a lot of other drivers and police in danger.

    Corotor II dual on Ebay

    What difference does it make how old the corotor is? They are premium equipment. If you knew so much you wouldn,t call them junk or crap. If you think they are junk or crap it shows that you still need to learn!!! Maybe you just do not know how to set up one!!!!

    Ladders and Installing Dish?

    Do you install dish on steel roofs without them leaking!!? The way steel are installed here in pa. They put 1" X 4" furring strips over the shingle roof and the steel is the thickness of the furring strip. So if you mounted a dish on most steel roofs they would surely leak.

    Ladders and Installing Dish?

    For my orby dish I used a piece of 2 inch dia chainlink fence pipe from lowes. Took out the bolt on the top of the dish so I could slide it down the pipe leaving enough pipe sticking out out of the dish to put a cover on the top of the pipe. Put a radiator clamp under the bottom of the dish...

    Moving dish a few inches?

    Previous post, My previous suggestion was a little overkill as i jumped to conclusion it was for a c-band dish. After reading your post again I guess it must be a small dish. I would try to avoid putting any new holes in your steel roof because of leaks. Try to follow chip,s idea and use...

    Moving dish a few inches?

    I have a steel roof and no one is going to mount anything on it. To much chance of leaks. I left the original shingles And used 1x4 sheathing strips on top of shingles and put the steel roof on that. I agree with raoul 5788 idea of what to do but with a little more modification. You could put...
