    which satellite motor is more tolerant of a long cable run?

    Since I'm going to be facing a long cable run, cable resistance will approach and possibly exceed diseqc specification. Each motor probably handles the voltage drop due to resistance differently, so I'm trying to pick one out that might best succeed for my setup. All features/performance...

    Help: FTA dish installation with really long wiring

    Could I summarize the problem as following? 1. There's a signal attenuation problem. 2. There's a voltage drop problem. (which is problem even worse if I want to install a motor there) I think 1 could be solved with an in-line amplifier, right? If I'm correcting in understanding this, 2...

    Help: FTA dish installation with really long wiring

    How do you calculate voltage drop in coaxial cable? The cable specification says it has a 75 ohm impedance but doesn't say anything about the length. Are they assuming that at short enough distances that it's negligible? What does the voltage function look like? linear? polynomial...

    Help: FTA dish installation with really long wiring

    Are there any amplifiers I can put at 100ft? Will something like this work? I found it off Sadoun. "In-Line Amplifier: Amplifies signal to compensate for splitters & long runs, 12-20dB, 950-2400 MHz, Heavy-duty housing."...

    Help: FTA dish installation with really long wiring

    Hi, I'm hoping to install an FTA dish at my home, and I'm wondering anyone can help me determine the installation feasibility. I live in a town house. The existing cable wiring isn't entirely dish-friendly. My home is an end-unit of the building, and its length, I guess, is probably 80...
