    SOLD!! (2)-General Instrument Remote Controls Model # IRC 450-FREE, GRATIS, ZIP, NADA, ZILCH.

    Don't remember where I got these and don't know what model receiver they will control but thought someone may have an old GI analog sat receiver (or 4DTV?) they are using for a dish mover and could use them. Both are brand new, never used, you pay for the ride and they are yours.

    SOLD!! SG6100 H-H Motor

    For Sale: 1 DMSI SG6100 H-H Motor, brand new, never removed from box. I inquired with Michael (KE4EST) as he had sold these in the past, said he had some returns but some worked great, thought their quality control at the factory was hit or miss. $70 shipped CONUS, PayPal is fine. For some...

    Video Sender?

    Got any recommendations for a video sender? Wanting to wirelessly send A/V to a tv in another room, from my microHD. About 30 feet and through 2 walls. Most of the stuff I would watch is not HD anyway so SD composite connections are fine, but I can go HDMI also. The "receiver" tv is a Smart...

    NASA will be broadcasting their coverage of today's eclipse from the ground, sky and space. We will have about 96% of totality here but I just swung a BUD over to 127W to check out the NASA feeds too, should be interesting. Solar Eclipse 2017

    Thread Navigation buttons?

    What happened to the nav buttons that appeared near the bottom of the page when viewing threads? I think they said something like "Previous Thread" and "Next Thread" maybe? Is it a forum issue or maybe a browser problem on my end? Am using Chrome here, thanks.

    Thread Navigation?

    Sorry if I missed this in the discussions here but was wondering if there was a way to navigate from thread to thread without going back to the forum page each time? The old forum had something like <-Previous Thread_Next Thread-> at the bottom of each page I believe, that is how I used to page...

    GEOTRACK Silent Gold 107 H-H Motor

    Anybody seen one of these? Most of the stuff I have Googled on it is foreign language. I've had this for quite a while, and was considering how to motorize a nice ASC Signal 1.2 molded dish I have, think this may be just the ticket. The dish/feed support weighs 34 pounds bare, with adapter...

    SL1PLL vs Generic LNBF comparison

    I finally got a chance a couple days ago to install the SL1PLL LNBF and give it a try. This setup is a 90cm 3ABN/SG2100/Openbox S9. The LNBF I have on it is the "generic" LNBF that came with the 3ABN dish when they had their $50 deal (dish/LNBF/shipped) a few years back. I did a blindscan on...

    Chaparral Black Box...what is it?

    I recently acquired some C-band odds and ends, including this critter here: Has anyone seen one of these and know what it is? Looks like it might be a servo tester but I'm not sure.

    Positioner Suggestions? 12' Unimesh on AJAK 180 H-H Mount

    I installed a 12' Unimesh dish on an AJAK 180 H-H mount a few months back and am looking for some suggestions on a positioner unit. I already owned and have tried a G-Box and a V-Box on this behemoth, neither seems to have the cajones required to swing it. Both of those devices will take the...

    I just set a new 3 1/2" pole today, and going to install a 5' spun aluminum prime focus dish on it (may be a Paraclipse Hydro?). The dish has 3 equally-spaced feed support arms so I am going to use one of those LNBF adapter collars for 3-armed prime focus dishes, like this: C Ku Prime Focus...

    Setup/USALS Issue?

    I got my unit yesterday and have been trying to get it setup today but think I may be doing something wrong. Current setup is STAB 90/Fortec 90cm, no switches. First thing I did was to enter USALS info, setup on 97W, do an OTA firmware upgrade and then a factory reset. That seemed to work...

    microHD Quality Meter Linearity?

    How is the linearity of the quality meter readout on this new unit? Is it similar to the CS4-5-6K, or Openbox S-9s (very non-linear), or (hopefully!) more like the Visionsat and some of the old Pansats, with usable % reading over a wide range of the 100 scale?
