What size Superjack do u have on your 7.5'?

How about a remote for Echostar 600?

Let me clarify. Im not tilting lnbf, I made the bracket to adjust up and down to find center. The only reference I have to where the old feedhorn was located is the pdf I downloaded that shows how to install original hughes equipment. Every time I adjust I make sure lnbf is parallel w/ support...

@Anole: universal, 10.600, that's the setting the lnb called for. @gpflepsen: I set azimuth & elevation for 97w, I hadn't tried true south tho. That's the same pdf I was trying to scale off of for lnb setting. Didn't have any luck, that's when I came up with the unistrut bracket so I could...

I made a bracket out of unistrut so I would be able to adjust lnb up and down to find center instead of guessing. I am about to the point where I am starting to believe the lnb isn't working. I have adjusted up&down, in&out, different declinations, skews. Nothing. Even I weren't aimed perfectly...

Lol yea that's kinda what I was thinking, but that is the only thing I did different was change the LO and it pulled in sound. Also tuned 125w today on 11250 LO, and it worked fine (horizontals). My son enjoyed the cartoons on PBS :)

Thanks all. Just an update. Had to set my LO to 11250 and I got sound on 97w. Still only pulling in horizontal tho. Will have to work on making that new bracket.

How do I go about mating lnb to existing feedhorn? The good thind here is, I can be my own machinist :). I am a welder/pipefitter by trade, so I have access to the tools to make my anything I need ;).

Tuned 97w but no sound :(. Tuned 3 other sats and I had sound on all of them, but not on 97. Quality at 75% @ FatAir. I believe you are correct about it being single polarity tho. Its showing TPs being vertical, but they are the same #s as the horizontal #s. Would a normal FTA lnb work at the...

Well its works. Don't think I am aligned properly for 97w tho. Hit tv and radio channels. Not sure which sat. Was only getting horizontal. Adjusted skew and got vertical. Tv is: 12121/H/30000. Radio: 12121/H/30000, 11705/H/3649. It listed same TP numbers for vertical.

Sorry about the pictures. Went on the mobile site this time and tried loading. Thanks.

I have been eyeing a dish on our local pharmacy for about a month. Went yesterday and asked about it, got in touch w/ owner today. They let me have it for free :) ,providing I took away the base and the concrete block holding it down. No problem there! Although I didn't know until I went on the...

Update: I had originally set lnbf to what old lnb was set to. After using formula from link mmewrench posted, lnbf is dead on. I have tuned all satellites from 78w- 139w, except 83w. W/ satellites I have tuned picking up ALL FTA channels on 87w-97w listed on Lyngsat. (Haven't checked lower...

@ Anole: it was my understanding that dish skew had to be set according to your location. Does it work better leaving it at zero? @FatAir: tried scaling picture(I am using a smart phone) the best I could come up w/ the lnbf needed to be raised about 7/8 of an inch. I am standing in front of...

BAM BABY!!!!!! Gentelmen, I have OFFICIALLY joined the FTA world :) Finally got new lnb hooked up after a couple days of bad weather. First bird I tried was 91W. All channels tuned. CW had 89% Quality. Haven't tried to optimize yet. But I'm happier than a kid at christmas right now! A HUGE...
