That is just like mine. It belongs to a perfect ten dish, hth mount. Mine is a ten foot with quad arms.

One more question, what is PAT?

Thanks AC Radio, i have just got this reciever and don't know anything about it. Is there any manuals available for it online? I bought it used with with a HTR 8 analog reciever so I have nothing to really go by. Lak 7 it is a pansat 3500 dvb reciever. Is this a decent reciever? Thanks!

Been gone for a while . Weather was good today when I got home and deciced to work on the old dish. Got the support arms rebuilt and put on and remounted the scaler ring and the feedhorn. Hooked up the ole 920 and decided to check some of the birds. Amc 6 got the c band side of Nasa and all...

I have not gotten much done the past couple of days, Been under the weather and staying at my favorite Hotel ( hospital) so maybe if the weather and me holds out I will get back on this tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice. btw what is the measurement from the center of dish to the mouth of the...

Thanks Guys, they have been broken off at both ends, so I think that stainless all thread is what I am going to use. I will let you know how this turns out. The overall length of these are 42 inches including the threads. Thanks again...

Thanks, that is what I needed. I have been digging thru many post trying to find that answer. Mine had no threads on the end to the scaler ring, Three of the six supports had some sort of glue on them holding in place on the dish. All had different lengths to them. Are the threads about 3/4 of...

Anyone know the over all length of the support arms on a Birdview 2028. C band comes in great, but ku really sucks. I loosened up the screws on the scaler ring and got a better picture moving it no farther than 1/4 inch. The waveguide is set at .42 as I have read on here. Didn't move that, just...

I got a 920 a couple of weeks ago. Did the battery mod and hooked it up to my bud. It worked just fine setting the limits and searching for sats. As I was running back to amc 10 the pulse count started to slow down and stopped, reached physical limit showed on the screen. I checked wiring and...

Thanks to the members and this forum and the many threads to read, I now have the BirdView tracking the arc on c band ( analog and digital) really really well. I am very impressed at all the info and hardwork that many of you did and documented it so well that a novice such as myself could get...

Anole I have been reading all post by Linuxman ( several times) and others on here as well. Great post!!! Very informative. Would have been easier if I had found this site ealier! As far as the scalier ring goes, I viced it and used a drill with a level built into it and used course honing...

I checked my reed before installing on my BirdView. Hooked a multimeter to both leads, then set the multimeter to continuity. It showed no continuity. Passing a magnet in front of the switch shows continuity or a pulse. I am using some older reeds that I have here.

Thanks for the compliment osu, I am just getting started on them. I got the perfect ten first, set the pole and found the BirdView dish and have put most of my effort into that one..lol I have a couple of Primstar dishes to put up as well. But I really want to get the BirdView going first...

Trying to get an attachment to work. Hopefully this worked..

I finally got the declination set,but has been raining so much I can't do anything else. So when the rain stops I get back on it..
