Titanium. My belief would be that since the effort to enlarge the hole with whatever method is derived. And then fabricating a fixture method to mount an lnbf. A simple scalar swap would be more appropriate. And the original scalar could be retained for a rainy day. What does one of yours cost...

My two cents. Get that thing cleaned up and look for any deformation of the reflector and mount. When it is cleaned up and dry. First thing would be to soak every single fastener and pivot with penetrating oil. Check it real good for any structural deformations. Work on getting it up on a pole...

Rebooting the pc should not be an issue. Really. Actually a habit, or SOP back at work was to completely shut down a computer. Count to 5-10, and then hit the power button. But those computers were full of custom software that communicated with peripheral cards, etc. A reboot didn't always, for...

The question remains. Do the HN dishes have the original pole mounts with the degree adjustment? Not motorized tells me that they might. That would be important in determining the look angle, or how the lnbf reflects off of the dish face. Could be 22 degrees. Could be something else. You'll need...

I'd say 2 things. Slap up some good photos. Good ones showing the side if the dish with the lnb mounted. And. Is your dish the one in your equipment listing at the bottom of your profile? I would suspect the dish, being now on a polar mount, is mounted parallel with the polar angle of the mount...

My long. is 77W and 84W is the closest receivable sat on c band. With a tube actuator I don't really see how USALS would be useful. Call me wrong. Get the dish at zenith. I find a flat plane across the dish and digital gauge it until it's level and plumb. That's zenith. Elevation, declination...

Location of the dec. adjustment doesn't really matter. As long as there is one and you're able to get the polar angle (latiude angle) and face of the dish parrallel and pivots vertically level. For an example here is my locally fabricated polar mount. The twin elevation adjustment rods allows...

A side view of the mount as it would be put on the pole might show the current shape of it a little better. But to give you some brain food. If you intend on motorizing the mount with an actuator. A few things for thought. Declination for a fixed mount aimed at one sat. isn't a thing. Just that...

Down a few days now for me.

On the technical side, with a regular C-band LNB with LO=5150 MHz, the 4.5-4.8 band translate to 350-650 MHz, which is of course too low for regular satellite receivers. So I have hooked up an SDR dongle to be able to look at the spectrum. While most LNBs filter that band out, I have an old...

Antennaguy does a lot of hands-on reviews.

Oh. If there is an IP conflict. Somehow the explanation mentioning a reboot of the hopper string of WAP devices hints to. If the WAP and your wifi LAN are both on a 192.168.1.XXX network. And you can't change the WAP IP. My LAN router has the LAN IP set to 192.168.5.1 and the DHCP server IP Pool...

Was just trying to be helpful. Wondering if the problem could be caused by the long reply in the link. I am not qualified to offer suggestions on equipment I don't own nor have personal access with to do some tinkering. Would any other options in the post help? Such as to get the WAP device...

My bad.
