Hey Spiff... yer PM box is full. Need to know about 2morrow... Shoot me a message... you still have my email addy?

I've used a Corotor II and a 621. Corotor works much better than the 621. Neither one is easy to get dialed in on a BUD. Expect plenty of tinkering, fijiting, adjusting, head-scratching, beating, banging, gnashing-of-teeth, and just all-out stress. In other words, take your time and don't lose...

Wow... that's what you call DISassembled...

Over a year with the deceased BUD, but if you include the time I spent with them from the mid-80's until the late 90's, well...

Agreed. :D

BigRed... S.C. AR?? You must be near Gabshere's territory... you near Arkadelphia?

My 10' mesh (before it was assassinated) didn't have any issues with Ku - that is - ONCE it was tweaked. Peaking a BUD for Ku is a pain, but it will work. For someone new, I'd highly recommend a dedicated smaller solid dish for the purpose. As for $75 and 200 miles... I'd do it for a...

Got a late start on this today - due to circumstances beyond my control. Did get the dish down and moved home. It's a Unimesh per the label on the dish frame... oddly enough, this is the first dish I've acquired that actually has a label on it. As promised, pics are posted. 1st pic is how it...

Cband mounts normally don't have degree scales on them. You'll want a way to measure your angles for elevation & declination... I've used stuff as simple as a protractor with a weighted string, but a good inclinometer makes it easy. Picked mine up for around $7... As with most anything - you can...

Well... looks like Google changed the location a bit... here's an updated link... 6090 TX-31, Corsicana, TX - Google Maps

JMC - I know where a mesh Birdview is near Corsicana... whether it's in use or not, I don't know, but your a lot closer to it than I am... Let me find that post again... http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-satellite-discussion/159828-adventures-dish-hunting-2009-a-29.html#post1838119 6090...

About a mile? Who needs a truck... grab the neighbor's kid and ask him if he want's to make a quick 20 bucks... :D :D

Welcome to the forum! For 4D you'll need an absolute minimum of 6' - better would be 8' - and best is 10' or more (of course minimum will vary depending on your location) As for the battery - the 4D receivers use an internal Li-Ion battery that will expire eventually. If the battery dies, it...

Yeah - I want it... can you drop it off in Memphis? <bangs head on desk>

Couple of weeks ago my brother told me a guy he works with has a mesh BUD and was going to get rid of it. Of course my bro thought of me :D Went and looked at it Saturday after I got through with my roofing job. Was hoping to be able to disassemble and move it, but the mount is set about 7 or 8...

Forget the WD-40 - since I first used PB Blaster, I never touch WD40 anymore. I use PB to penetrate and chain lube for regular maintenance... and if I'm out of either and just need something quick, a mixture of brake fluid and used motor oil does wonders... Everybody here has their methods of...

Well... we were told there were a couple here just north of Memphis... Spiffwilkie or I will have to take a drive up to Nutbush soon to see what we can find...

Hey Radio, You know where any are there in MI that could be taken for a song? My wife's folks live near Clare and we are up there once or twice a year... If I could plan ahead and time it right... :D

The dish isn't like an expanded metal mesh dish, it's a one-piece, perforated dish. I think someone on here said it was the same as a BV solid only with holes punched in it... :D If if was anywhere close to me, I'd have already picked it up...

Not the voltage that's the problem... it's the current. I use Cat5 for the signal and 14ga outdoor lighting cable to carry the motor power. I've had no problems on a 100'+ run (underground PVC conduit)

I think one of the PacNW members should stop by and grab that on their way to Florida for the holidays. You can drop it off in Memphis...

That's a stretch... maybe pushing the limit switches to the, well, limit... As far as what they said about the actuator getting bent, well, any of them can get bent... but if a heavy actuator like the Venture 36" I've got was to get bent, well... I don't think a bent actuator would be at the...

And there ya go... now that wasn't so bad, was it? Great find Putney

I was basing my thought on this. Power wasn't disconnected, just the unit turned off, which wouldn't, necessarily, power down the actuator.

It's NOT 30 years old... that's Ku mesh in the pic.
