Ditto what Phlat said. If you are serious about C band stuff, A used 10 footer is the way to go. Most can be had for 100 bucks or less. You will have to have a new Lnb most likely. My 2 cents worth

Click on menu, then click on the sat icon. then click on tp list you will see the green add tp add button down at the bottom. click on that and put in the number of tp freq, sr and h or v after you have these set, click save. now click on the blue search bottom it will scan the channel for you...

Fat Air, Thank you sir, why didn't I think of that. Sometimes the old nogging just don't function like it used too:):). Will have to look around here and see if I have a dual pwr pass splitter to isolate the two boxes from each other. The Bull

I'm sure someone has already figured this out. Is there any way to set up two rcvers to control the same cband ant 1.2 diseqc set up via a vbox. I have it working great with one rcvr now. Would like switch the control between two rcvrs(not at the same time). I figure one would forget where it...

Steve I have a viewsat I use it to get the pbs stuff on 125w. It want do 422 or dvb-s2. As has already been suggested the cheapest route would be a Openbox s10 or Manhatten. For the money you cant beat the Openbox for blind scans, But it dont do 422 either. My 2 cents:):)

You might want to consider amc3/ses2.(3741/v/sr14400) There is both SD and HD channels of Weather Nation on this sat in the clear. Strong signal.

Had a friend visit from Fla., told him i was looking for a 12 footer. He called back last week and said he had a found a 12ft spun alm(I think he said it was a Harris?)about 500 miles away. Said the guy wanted 100 Bucks for it. I havn't yet figured a way to haul it home. Still thinking on it...

First thanks again pendragon for the 4x8 mod. I have had one working here for the past 9 months or so and it works great. The mod itself is simple, if I can do it anyone can:). you can find the zinwell 4/8 on ebay pretty cheap. Highly recommend this switch for the simple mod and reliablilty...

If you want a stand alone box the openbox S9 is cheap and will do dvb s2 fine(It want handle 422, Azbox will). It all so handles disec 1.0 great. Not a commercial =) but I have one and really really like it for blind scans.

I'm using norsat 4106a's on the ku side of my bullseye II. It out performs my 1.2m offset Channel Master equipped with Ivacom QPF 031 lnb My bullseye is on a 10ft Andrews solid alm dish. If you can find one the Ajax 180 H to H dish mover is the best I've found, they are for sure manly =), kinda...

Pix, I changed out my c/ku Chaparral corotor II to a Chaparral Bullseye II Orthomode last spring and put in a modified zinwell switch (see Pendragon's mod on this forum), best thing I have done to improve signal and ease of connecting rcvrs. Signal strength improved about 2 to 5 % on the...

Thanks Stargaze for the download site, The Bull

They can be mounted either way. I always mounted mine so the body of the 8515(long part where the coax feed comes out of) was cloest to the center of the scalar center. That way I could get my cover on the lnbs better.

I'm useing the zinwell wb68 with the pendragon mod and it really works well. See the thread anole referred to in the above post for the mod. if you don't want to do the mod you can use an inexpensive pwr inserter (Bias tees, AC Radio turned me on to these) on the 13 volt field side off this...

He,he, I ordered one of the SSO's this evening Fat. Thanks to both of you. Gonna use it to blind scan with. Have a Az elite, But its not much good to scan with.

I'm sure with all the gurus here, someone can tell me. Is the Openbox9 HD and the skyhawk/solemend 800 all the same with just different names??

I have the same problem rodder, if you find a solution, please post it The bull

Thanks guys for your thoughts. It has a good signal on all the sats lower than the 83w. just cant get any thing on 74, 72, and61. Will take a look at you suggestions this weekend.

I just installed a bullseye II feed with four lnbs and it is working great on all sats below 83w. It improved the levels on all sats below 83w. I'm not receiving anything on the sats above 83w, ie 74w, 72w, 61w. I know I must have screwed something up cause I was receiving these sats before the...

I just did a search and found pendragon's mighty mod for the zinwell wb68 multiswitch. It looks like the simplest an best. Forgive me for not doing a search before the first post. He is "the" man.

I just aquired a chaparral bulleye othro feed. I have a channel master 6904ifd 4x4 switch that That was used with dtv. I was thinking about putting a power inserter on the field side of the 13 volt outputs. Will this work. or is there a better arrangement . I also have a zinwell 4x8 around here...

B J, I think you will everything about the Ajax h-h in this thread. May have to read the entire thread to find it. But there's a weath of information there. It was a big help to me. Hope this helps. http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-satellite-discussion/163147-need-docs-ajak-mount.html

AC, As they say in sports, "YOU THE MAN". Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks a bunch Nathan for taking the time to give me some help , hope you have a great out of school holiday. Think I will order the prewired version of the chip board. then go from there. Should have enough parts laying around here, with maybe the exception of the rf choke to get the project...
