Never having used this platform before for selling, I didn't know there was such an option. Fixed.

All dishes are now with their new owner, who has 3 acres of available land and hopefully a great view of the arc!

Arrangements pending! Glad to help a fellow hobbyist.

Thank you, primestar31, for making sure I saw this. PM sent to Mr. Mcguire.

I had moved and couldn't set up my dishes until this year, and when I did, I realized that my view of the southern sky was limited. I still enjoy reading about other people's successes and finds, though. And I would very much like to get confirmation in early spring of where my view is. I...

I acquired these about three years ago from another member, in anticipation of being able to set up at my new home. I just don't have the space or line-of-sight. There's a 6 foot dish, an 8 foot dish, an 8 foot reflector-only, and I think three 1.2M dishes. I prefer to send them all to one...

At my current abode, I have a Wife Acceptance Factor to consider, so that means minimal equipment. Unfortunately, we were hit by hail a few weeks ago, and I'm waiting for an insurance adjuster. If we're getting a new roof, that means that there will be no satellite signals for a bit, BUT, I...

My first dish, which I still have, was a Globecast 75cm elliptical.I didn't know how to aim a dish then and it was really frustrating, but I kept at it, and got help from the community here. When the receiver started showing a blip and I got close, it was really exciting to know that I found...

I'd like to try this kit! Thanks, Casey, for the giveaway.

Thanks, FTA4PA! I explained what happened to my wife, and she asked me where we could go to buy another. I would wager there isn't a store within 100 miles that stocks such a thing.

Excellent suggestion. I just tried another piece of known good cable and there's no change. Meter is toast, I guess. New one will be coming soon enough, and I must remember to use connectors with it that screw together instead of the quick-connect sleeve style. In terms of problems, this...

I looked at the price of the Edision Mio+, and decided that it was out of the budget at this point. I ordered a replacement WS-6933 this morning from an ebay seller for a couple of reasons--price, already knowing how to use it, and now I'll have a spare battery for it. The project continues...

Hmmm...I am admittedly not up on current receiver trends. I don't have a smartphone, but I do have an ipad 6th generation. Is it possible to use that ipad with the Mio+?

I was just on the roof trying to tune with my Satlink WS-6933, and the piece of coax I was using fell off the LNB. I turned off the meter, reattached, and the Signal strength was at zero. I attached to five other known good LNBs, and got the same results. Is it toast? And if it is, what's...

Thanks for all the input. I ordered the Eagle Aspen recommended by iBoston. Hoping to start running some coax this weekend for when it arrives!
