    Primestar 84E/BSC621-2 LNBF Experiment

    CORRECTION STOGIE, I must set the record straight. The P* dish you gave me was never used, it is sitting in the Mississippi weeds. It is of no value to me because you discarded the P* elliptical feed horn. You obviously did not understand the importance of using this. The bracket you made...

    Primestar 84E/BSC621-2 LNBF Experiment

    Others experience proves different That is your experience. DREAMFOX1 found an 8% improvement. Are you saying DMSI is advertising false hoods? They clearly state that this improved over the older LNBF. I'll take their word for it.

    The rath of Iceburg! I just find some of your comments cryptic and not informative. In another thread you said that Linuxman's Primestar experiment was tinkerig and belittled It by your comment. As a forum moderator you should keep an open mind to what others are doing. There are a few guys...

    ...usefull information and confirms what I suspected about center mounting the C-Band LNBF. :cool: Mike Kohl has a website and has done a study of P* versus other dishes and your dish compares to larger dishes. My intent is to squeeze every SQ% out of a 1 meter dish on C-Band. It is like...

    DVB Dream Question

    I preset the motor to the satellite in ProgDVB then I go to DVB Dream and in the positioner window I see I have Signal Strength and save that as a stored position. It seems to work. Jerryt- Do I follow Starmans instructions but associate the satellite with these 8 bit strings?

    Welcome Dale! :welcome I copied every one of your pictures to My Pictures where I could enlarge them and study them better. :up:up:up:up Very nicely done! You put a lot of work into the fabrication of mounting hardware and you made it universal for the LNBF and Scalar to be adjusted...

    Grandchildren Hey Bloomdog- I babysat for my 2 1/2 year old grandson on Wednesday. I was actually a little scared when my daughter got in her car and drove down the driveway, Just at that moment the Dish network receiver said "Smart card no longer valid for this receiver" and we lost Curious...

    Interesting Perspective I see merit in what you are suggesting. I have also noticed that some folks with P*E dishes have painted them dark charcoal or black. This sounds like a whole nother project to start and gather data on. This forum has some great members! I love to TINKER with FTA...

    Hot Dish DREAMFOX1- I have measured the dish temperature of a steal dish and a fiberglass dish today. The fiberglass dish was several shades darker then the steal dish. The steal dish was 165 degrees and the fiberglass dish was 104 degrees. i saw on another thread that some steal dishes...

    DVB Dream Question

    DVB Dream Positioner Problems I have a Stab H H Motor on the dish and the software actually changes the positioner to that when I change it to Generic Diseqc. I have to go through several iterations. Set to USALS (which it does not do) in options goto positioner window select satellite click on...

    `1.2 Meter Dish Certainly, that will improve your C-Band performance. You most likely won't see much more improvement on KU. Just for grins, take a SQ reading on HITN TV 123( 127.5 Offset ). Then put your C-Band LNBF at the center of your dish arm so you are 123 on the LNBF and see what the...

    The ART of RF Did you ever see a radioman tune a VHF mobile mount antenna? With a wattmeter inline you move your hand closer and then away from the antenna and observe the power. If it goes up you cute a little off. Try again and if no change you've got it tunned. It really is a cut and try...

    Primestar 84E/BSC621-2 LNBF Experiment

    The thermals rising between the arm and dish won't have much effect. The solar radiation would most of the time be too small to notice. During a Solar Flare episode solar flares do effect all communications of e/m. My guess is that with all the weight you have on the arm, when the arm gets...

    Has anyone used a pizza box dish on 2.4G WiFi?

    There's an installation down the street from me. He has a 100' tower with a DN Pizza dish inverted (Feedhorn Arm at top of dish) and a small bow tie on a 6" X 5" grondplane plate. Oh yes, there is a H H Motor also.

    DVB Dream Question

    Ku Circular Starman- U Da Man :hatsoff: I selected Ku Circular and it comes up 10750 correct for a Standard Single LNBF. Brent- That's right! I was able to take full advantage of the BSC621-2 by selecting Diseqc 1.0 and setting C-Band port one and KU Band Universal port two. Works...

    SG2100 HH Motor back in stock

    When they designed the SG 6000 they copied the Stab H H bracket and clamp design. That design works very well and does not distort the bracket. You can search for Stogies improvement to the SG 2100 bracket.
