This pipe new, without welding is 9.00 or more a foot 9x9= eighty-one dollars; yes; materials a worth more new.;; and cost less old; and steel @ 3.0 id sched. 40 holds the big dish down, and they listed the types found all over the US from the 80's to the 90's...

Look's like a Columbian; the Columbian was about eleven feet 8"; had a long nosed center or a 4 strut. Could it be a Echo from old? Has the same mount as the Echostar did; but i have not seen one that old lately. Actually it is very easy to get it going again. Brute force tactics is holding them...

Hey, if I have glass; only how fast my computer is will be faster since '92; but todays needs are appl. specific. HDTV is tied down to bandwidth; the networks, Internet, have non-provider (free) and provider syled (pay only); but demand only TV bandwidth of old (5 mhz.). My area's little towns...

I use elbow grease; ladders; regular grease; various hand tools; meters are for new installs and dish programming; when no work has been done already. and then how to remember or push the parts together into a new working system. Keeping a system working after the work has already been done on...

Unimesh dish is what it aims at; direction is the lnbf angle; measured from directly under the LNB/feed/polarotor ( or lnbf if the LNB/Feed or lnbf are center of dish w/o offset; also from under the dish plate at the center or horizontal of the dish; or outside circle of the entire dish.If it is...

OK, take it from me, DISH is their own box, flavor. But their Dealer's and Contract word is what the costlyness is, and their monthly fee's for the best or larger paks is what went up to qualify their losses or caused any loss of viewer's, subs. We already knew the price of dish was less; the...

Dish shape determines all adjustment's to any parts you place onto them; that every dish is different means any one dish must be different than any other; but free to air satellites/frequencies available do not change; they are stuck within the range they are used and planned for; that any dish...

Then I make sure the dish is perfectly aimed at the two ku satellites nearest to perfect true south to make directional gain perfect then adjust the eastern and western satellites to gain directionals; perfectly tune the LNBf for center focus (aimed at middle of dish) and focal length is tuned...

F/D ratio's are exactly that the entire dish as an amplifier of a microwave; focusing a direction inside the cavity; basically a cone from the width of the cavity, to a single point. The distance from the width to the point is the size of interior round cavity; ku is smaller width cavity and...

Well, I have decided that I wpuld build my own again; using flat round 1/4" solid piece of alum. aircraft type and a pattern like a tool used to make a pulley puller round inside the flat part (micrometer interior sizer how wide the opening is); then straight telescopic center of tool; to middle...

offsetting LNBf's from a center focus designed for one lnbf shadow only; means that the more lnbf's you mount, the more each cause shadow to each others direction it receives from. The DBS type is around 8 degree's also because of the shadows at aim for their spacing of the satellites; and ku...

Here is the directions for multi-c band. They did not write directions for using a satellite dish without shadows after the cable companies put fences up to hide their dishes. Here is a picture of the design I have used which is offset for elevation accrued using the middle of a c band sized...

i have a hr45 if you want one

I am getting 4000 count's per drive (arc) on the ajax 110 degree move; this is pretty fast compared to the 8000+ counts on the von weisse 8 magnet wheel. They both are considered fast counting; or a fast counting mechanism; as is a little dish motor; i would say the von weisse was my deal with...

I have used one person holding a block; and another on the other side; to pound dents. And bending the holes back to even with the tears. This takes most of the reflectors missing signal back to the proper gains needed today. So, it will perform the " level " it needs to get itself back to...
