    AVL 1278 Antennas, what are they good for?

    hey bernard, the system is still very infantile, although it works, it takes fiddling... ive moved the electronics to single custom designed boards, but there are some issues to work out. the best thing to do in the short term i can tell you is to hook up a power supply and reverse switches...

    AVL 1278 Antennas, what are they good for?

    Bernard, Yes it is working, I haven't moved everything to a single board yet, but will soon. Yes, the software is mine. it's been going well, having some fun moving the dishes around a lot, letting the neighbors wonder what the heck I'm doing... sometimes I'll move 2 at once just to get...

    AVL 1278 Antennas, what are they good for?

    An update on this project... Im open to other ideas or thoughts good or bad... Ive gotten 3 of the 4 dishes up and going, they are manually positioned to check out the LNBs and cabling... they work great, but ive had to position them manually with the handcrank. Now i need to clarify that...

    Yea i get that, i was hoping not to have to do that, but im certainly able if need be. Id need to study up on calculating the proper mounting distance and position.. Well actually i contacted AVL and they sent me some rather since schematics, diagrams and specs on the positioners, actuators...

    AVL 1278 Antennas, what are they good for?

    Ok i understand about the LNB and Its LO... Ill look closer today and see what it says... Regarding dish, i understand also, with the wider oblong dish it makes sense that this circular one may not provide enough "coverage" to get adjacent signals without repositioning. I could mount a DISH...
