Need some help in adding a motor to my stationary 1.2m Ku dish.I have an orthomode feedhorn on it and it is powered and feeds into a EMP-Centauri 5/4 multi switch.I want to use a H-H motor to move the dish with USAL protocol.How can I get the signal to the motor without replacing the feedhorn...

Greetings I just received an old Chaparral Bullseye 1 feedhorn.I was wondering if anyone in the forum has any experience with this feedhorn.Thanks

The problem was not the worm and wheel gear,but where the dish is bolted to the motor/pole assembly.The bolts going through had become loose.Thanks for the help everyone.Where is the slop Vintagesports,in the actual gears?

I purchased it about 10 years ago from a guy who had it up in his garage for maybe 10 years.It was brand new and was only missing the feedhorn plate.I don't have the dish near me,but my brother who has it said it isn't returning to locations and needs "bumping" east or west to tune satellites...

Greetings I was wondering if anyone here would know the procedure to remove excess slop on a H to H mount used on a 8.5 foot RadioShack C band dish?It was running okay at first,but has develop alot of movement now .I only have the video tape provided and a french language manual and both do not...

Hi guys I know this an old subject,but can anyone who owns one of these 10 footers can tell me what kind of signal they are receiving like say,MeTv or Movies which are both on SES1 or any channel for my comparison.Thanks

Thank you for the reply Still you must have your setup pretty well peaked.How are those Norsat 5150's?I am using 8115's,would there be a marked improvement to upgrade.

Very impressive!What size of reflector are you using to receive that high signal and related equipment.I see a picture in your avatar,is that the reflector?Thanks

Very nice restoration job.I was wondering about the buttonhook in the photo,was that a standard buttonhook for the RS 9footers because I was able to get one that was sitting in a garage brand new and the buttonhook didn't have a bracket welded to it to hold the scalar ring of the feedhorn like I...

Where is that,Toronto or Allan Park?

Thank you stargaze :up

Is there a link for this software ?:confused:

Yankee Look through the postings,late last year or early this year that same issue was debated over size for reception of S2 and one member said they get reception with a 6 footer with the proper equipment.Just food for thought...

Chickwalla I can't see why not,what are you using for equipment?

Anole, In that case,adding a ortho ku feed into the 4x4 and using only one receiver to control both the V box(1.2 diseqc) and the sg2100 (usal) is this a reality?Tx
