    You might have to go to El Paso to get tex mex, the flautas can be had at a Mexican-Mexican restaurant, I don't know about the deep fried tacos. The Whole Enchilada on the west side does Swiss cheese, tomatillo, and chicken Enchiladas that are great, their owner is from Michaocan.

    AMIKO Amiko MINI 4K UHD S2X - V1.0.69 Firmware

    Hmm cant get a sniff on my 1.2m dish. I think I'll take my receivers (Amiko Mini 4K, GT Media V9 Prime) and little TV outside and try tweaking the 1.2m dish when its dark. I'm also in the ABQ area and its hotter than a Hoochie Coochie out there!

    Well I loaded up the new firmware on my Amiko Mini4K UHD S2X and Muzak works perfectly. Disecq motor control seems to work too

    unimesh 12

    I have a Unimesh 10 footer and I was able to toss the dish up on the mount by myself, I don't think I'd try that with a 12 footer tho....

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    I put up a 1/4 wave vertical for 20m this weekend, just 16 ish feet of 1 inch EMT insulated with 1 1/4" sch 80 pvc pipe stuck in the ground, 4 16 ish ft wire radials across the ground. If it's still there I'll post a picture.....

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    I'm thinking about cobbling a vertical together as I have a bunch of 1" emt conduit and 14 ga wire. Are you guys using a 4:1 un un on your rigs? My tuner has a built in 4:1 balun but that's for ladder line

    1.2 Meter Commercial Dish

    I've had this for a while, played with it a bit over the summer, but i am finally getting around to really dialing it in on 99w. It fit on a 3" post that I used for the button hook dish, the feed was set up for a transmitter and a normal Ku LNB, transmitter is long gone but the larger NJRC LNB...

    Any one not getting the Weigel channels?

    You would think that would be a win for her. A 1.2 Prodelin ain't that big/ugly compared to an 8-10ft dish lol I have a 1.2 meter post office Ku dish to fool around with this weekend. I had the blessing from the post master to dismantle it so no felony.

    Using analog reciever to move dish, but another to recieve?

    Also the GT media receiver will power the LNBs as long as they're hooked to the gt media receiver directly or through a Disecq/22khz switch, you'll want to use the analog receiver as a stand alone just hooked to the actuator/co rotor. The Primesat box will also pass thru power/signal to the LNBs...

    Using analog reciever to move dish, but another to recieve?

    Yeah you can run your C and Ku feeds into a Disecq switch or 22khz switch and set up the receiver to switch the switch. Those primesat movers don't have a polarity switcher for the co rotor. So you'll need your analog receiver to do that. I'd just use the analog receiver to move the dish and...

    10 ft Unimesh Grab

    M6 x 1.0..... I got it up and kinda just eyeball'd azimuth, elevation and declination left as is. Got 101w pretty easy. My coax cables are barely long enough so I'm not trying anything too far east or west. Good enough for now. If the suspension work on the Subaru goes OK then I might optimize...

    10 ft Unimesh Grab

    Anyone know what size the threads are on the scalar ring that comes with the Titanium LNBFs? Seems like M6 x something..... I put the reflector together tonight but ran outta daylight. The chaparral feed that came with this is part of the scalar ring and I plan on using the LNBF. I did get the...

    10 ft Unimesh Grab

    Been a while, but I found a 10 footer on my local CL last week. Took a trip to the east mountains (ABQ) yesterday to dismantle/pick up. Thankfully my Tommy Gate on the truck waited until I got home to crap the bed 😂 the dish came with a Chaparral corotor setup and echostar lnb and I tested the...

    It got dark

    Thats pretty sick. It got darker here (Albuquerque) than I thought it would, but it didn't get very dark during the one back in October either (and we were right under it!)

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    I just did the online practice tests until I couldn't see straight, passed my General pretty easy that way. I have an IC-706mkii, MFJ Versatuner, and a big horizontal loop fed with ladder line for HF, and a J pole built outta junk for 2M. With the loop and 100 watts I can talk to most of the...
