Are there holes predrilled on the rim and on the ribs?
Or
Are there no available predrilled holes on the rim or ribs?
Did Tek2000 not know where the arms mount on the reflector?
Or
The seller is not responding to your email requests for support?
I emailed him on the 16th. I have yet to hear from him. Per the instructions, it says to use the side with two holes on the rod to attach to the dish. I found sets of two holes on the mesh pedals. Great, but wait, the holes on the mesh pedals are 90 degrees out of sync. So if i wanted to use those two holes, the rod would be pointing horizontal across the mesh petals and no where to where it needs to go. So, maybe I am only supposed to use one of the holes even thou the the rod has two holes. So, then which of the two holes do i choose.
Yes, i can break out the calculator, and make a weekend of it, but that is NOT what i was expecting when i pay for a new product. I would expect directions, pre drilled holes, and things fit.
I am going to go on a rant now.
I had to pull out a metal grinder because the arm wouldn't retract the the degree i needed for my latitude. The motor actuator mount holes didn't match. Had to drill out a new hole. The main arm didn't fit properly to the dish mount. Had to do some creative work on that. Then the mesh petals DID NOT align to the holes on the mesh petals mount. The mesh out of the box was curled and had to be pounded flat with a hammer. They didn't place the rivots down on the mesh correctly, as there is a BIG bubble. I am going to drill out the rivot so the mesh with flatten out, and re-rivot it.
I guess when i got to the point of the RODS, i have myself half convinced this is going to yield me less signal quality than my 10' dish. I have walked away from the project for a week or so, and also giving TEK2000 a chance to respond to my email
