    Von Weise Actuator Nut Repair?

    maybe something like lubriplate engine assembly lube (lithium based). I wouldnt want to use a thick grease that will just tun into crayons when it gets cold. I give the exterior of my actuator arm a shot of wd-40 every once in a while, hoping that it leaks in past the boot and lubes the nut a...

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    ego driven? from the ones who would wish to control what I and others know because they know best.... yeeassh! Anyway if it were just one site (ricks) you might have a chance, but there are a bunch. I recall earlier in this thread that a long time fta peep said that blindscan was the beginning...

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    blindscan boxes are in an open area, its called the free market. Anyone with the cash can buy one with out being given the right from moderators from a forum. I dont see any reason why feed info couldnt be kept on the down low(log in), while being available to all.

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    Quite a mix at the two sites. Freedom of speech here, but no equality among members (wut ) While ricks site treats everyone as equals yet squelches opinions. Sounds to me like a third way could be the most appealing for we the peeps. I think a sociopath can deceive while a psycho does not for...

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    Ricks Blind may or may not support him 100% of the time, but rick is not passing some unexplainable judgement of worthiness on people before they can be in the wut . I guess I really dont have a problem with the log in, but a secret society controlled by a few with in a broader community does...

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    How would an uplinker not expect unencrypted signals not to be discovered ?.... I just dont get it! I do not need ricks, sat guy's or lyngsat to find fta chans. The instruction manual that came with my fortec lifetime ultra is all I need.

    What kind of wire to use with an actuator?

    It kind of comes down to the fact that phone cable, or network cable is not meant to really carry current. That would cover the size or guage of the wire, but also the insulation of the wire. Cat cable or twisted pair cable is meant for coms. and twisted to cancel noise. This would make it...

    What kind of wire to use with an actuator?

    110' of 4c#18 belden cable(shielded).No probs with it over the last ten years. The original ribbon cable looks bigger,like #12 or #14. No doubt there is a voltage drop, or a bigger voltage drop than the proper cable but the dc motor in the dish mover should not draw more amps to fry the power...

    the dock for my radio is loose now so every now and then I need to push down on the radio to detect ant again. Try the wiggle jiggle trick when signal is bad. Keep eyes on road though!
