    OTHER Help with rotor

    Ah, that is interesting: the SG2100 indeed seems to exist with, and without reset button: SG-2100 Motor Referencing I didn't know that. Greetz, A33 Edit: NB In some manuals I read that after the reset, power must be cutoff:

    OTHER Help with rotor

    So, all tests about limits, motor commands, and receiver-motor connection didn't bring anything. That would leave receiver software, or motor as cause. But you already swapped receiver, which rules that out as well. This would indeed leave the motor itself, as cause, I think. I'm not familiar...

    OTHER Help with rotor

    Extra hint: It is written that a 'reset' sets the present motor position as the 0-position (needed for USALS position setting). So it might be best to do such a reset, with motor at zero-angle. (No experience with resets, myself, though.) Greetz, A33

    OTHER Help with rotor

    Welcome to the forum, nwkn1g! Do you have a DisableLimits command in you receiver? Have you tried that, and after that checked again? You also tried GoLeft or GoRight (GoEast or GoWest) commands from your receiver, with no effect? How did you test: With short cable or long? If long, then try...

    Good idea to physically combine two ku band dishes?

    Ah, also threads here on this forum: https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/project-four-leaf-clover.367131/ (conclusion: Project Four Leaf Clover ) and here: https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/project-clover.170568/ Greetz, A33

    Declination angle

    The needed declination offset angle can already be found from for instance post 4: (Also the links in posts 2, 3 and 5 give some clues.) So the declination offset angle is about 5.8 to 6.4. That is confirmed since, in other posts. So it is not just declination, that is your problem? Also the...

    Declination angle

    For a motorized system: select Motorized systems, and then true south/true north (one arrow downwards).

    Declination angle

    So your question is, what would be the declination angle for a cband satellite dish at 41 degrees latitude? Your declination offset angle would be: the axis elevation angle you have chosen, minus your clarke belt total elevation angle due south (42.6 degrees). So what axis elevation have you...

    What in the world am I doing wrong?

    That 22.6 is typical for the Channel Master offset dishes. Other dishes may have other offset angles. Is the vertical angle of your dish face indeed: Satellite elevation minus 22.6 offset angle now? When the feedhorn is at the focal point, you should have reception at that elevation RimaNTSS...

    Wondering what channels I can get with some old equipment.

    0.1 dB will be reached at about -260 degree Celsius or so, I guess. Or maybe even at -200 or -150. Not at 'room temperature'. So it is just a marketing number. It will probably be 0.6 or so at room temperature? Greetz, A33

    two diseqc switches

    Well, yes. For instance with port A and B for the monoblock, choose port A and B of the diseqc switch. [ However, if you for instance choose A and D in your receiver, and port A and D of your 4/1 switch, it works as well! That is because the 4/1 switch reacts to both the POSITION and the OPTION...

    two diseqc switches

    Diseqc 1.0 has four switching possibilities (16 switching states), which partly are connected to the older switching methods: - Band (0/22kHz, "tone") - Polarity (13/18V) These two also work in "universal" LNBs, and in multiswitches. - Position (toneburst, "simple diseqc", " mini diseqc"; often...

    two diseqc switches

    Still a bit of explanation: One diseqc command is meant to make contact to one LNB only. Whether the proper connection to the LNB is made by one switch, or by a series of switches, is not important (just as with a light switch!). In this case the path to diseqc port A or B of the monoblock LNB...

    two diseqc switches

    The easiest way to do this, when you have still a free port on your 4/1 diseqc switch: See the picture in this post: Due diseqc per un solo tuner You would need a splitter or T-piece though; or solder a "bridge" inside the diseqc switch on the two output ports (the latter is the neater...

    OTHER Cascading DiSEqC switches

    Both setups will work fine. Provided that your receiver can give sequence repeats, and/or change (set) the order of commands. And your switches have a 'normal' start-up time. If you need to go back to old-fashioned default setup, that would be receiver - diseqc 1.1 - diseqc 1.0 - LNBs. That is...

    Bullet LNBFs

    A 3 degree monoblock for a 80 cm (offset) dish would act as a 2 degree monoblock for about a 120 cm (offset) dish, I would guess. Roughly. Remember also that the feedhorn distances of the LNBs are designed for certain parts of (Central) Europe, so it might be that in some parts (of the USA) that...

    Alignment problem

    Where did you get your numbers from? Total elevation for lat=32.35 is 52.35, so how did you come to 37.26 (or did you mean 52.74)? [Are you mixing up the terms "elevation" and "latitude"?] Greetz, A33

    GEOSATpro Dish Elevation Angle

    Yes, 45 - 5.5 = about 39 (in fact, 39.5, but dishpointer does round a bit...) Also 50.5 - (45 - 34) = 39.5 (I, personnally, would use [better!] so-called "modified" motor angles: modified dish declination offset angle of 4.9 degrees instead of 5.5; and modified motor axis elevation angle of...

    GEOSATpro Dish Elevation Angle

    You have to do the math. The line in the manual should read: Degrees of dish elevation scale = P - (45 - latitude) where P = degrees of dish elevation for fixed mount in the direction of true south/north (given by the manufacturer). So that the dish elevation scale setting is derived from the...

    AMIKO Amiko mini 4k uhd receiver questions

    So the Amiko doesn't scan up till IF 2150? (So if you set the receiver LOF at 10750, it doesn't scan up to 12900?)

    AMIKO Amiko mini 4k uhd receiver questions

    As I understand it, the bandstacked LNB has output from 950 to 2150 MHz for all the LNB channels. So just do a blind scan with LOF 10750, to get all the channels. Preferably with 18Volt fixed. Or does the Amiko not allow a blind scan? See the link in the above link: local oscillator info Only...
