    Jin Pole

    here are a few picture of my gin pole here. got this in 93, and it was the heavy duty alum model that was made at the time, it will lift or lower a 12-solid fiber glass dish with ease. the winch will brake either up or down too, nice for when you need hands free. the last picture is the...

    17' BUD Ideas?

    if you can weld and work with steel, and have the tools and no how, you may want to think about making a polar mount for it Phlatwound. you just need to think about over building it when selecting you're steel, like in a heavy gauge 3/8" to 3/4" material. as far as a actuator to move it, wile...

    why aren't C and Ku separated?

    Yes you can take a old satellite list from older FW and use it with newer FW, you will have the same satellites listed with their Tp's and LO with the switch settings but no TV or radio channels will show up. I know because I did it here, and my thoughts where that it would not work but it is...

    Diseqc 1.2

    I only have used Diseqc 1.2 here also. with a Elite, and a Ultra. the only time that mine will not wake up the G-box is if it is on 1 of my fixed satellites that I do not have a Diseqc 1.2 turn on and boot the receiver, but if I call up a satellite that is with a motor location no problem at...

    Thinking about orthomode feedhorns

    I use several orthos here, 3 dual C & Ku, and 3-dual single band ortho. now the problem by converting 1 of these switches to output 18-V on all 4-ports is their wimpy wall wart that they have for their power supply, pluss you are limited to the voltage output of it's regulator. now a lot depends...

    Aguascalientes TV on SATMEX 6???

    normally this has more to do with a lnb an it's stability to lock TP's with in a 1 or 2-mhz separation between TP's. most of you're standard lnb's and lnb-f's can be off by 2 to 3-mhz as by today's standards are, then trying to lock a week TP with in 2-mhz of a stronger TP most receivers will...

    positioning accuracy

    Thanks for the reply gabshere, I just thought that you might of known the magic number, my G-box handles it fine, and so did a DSR922 when I was setting it up with that high of a count. and Yes B.J. you are right on with all that you mention. now their are several areas that a person needs to...

    positioning accuracy

    Please tell me what is too much, I would like to know. all of my home brew reed set ups, I do try and strive for a high count, and I thought the same thing, but never have reached that point as of yet. now when I set up my ChannelView last year, and was test running it I thought it was going to...

    Diseqc 1.2

    only if that satellite has NEVER had a position # store before, if it has been stored with a position # and you want to change that position # to a different #, now you have to use a editor to do the changing.

    motor recommendations for 1.2?

    Hi B.J. I have 2 move-able ku dishes, a 90cm and a 1.8-meter Channel Master. now on the 90cm it is a old Eagle dish it is a very heavy but solid built, the motor that is on it is a Pansat-900 it has been running it since late 2004, before then had a SG-2100 on it and it did not last a year...

    Diseqc 1.2

    all is right on for the info sanjap gave you. but you may want to store 2 satellites with the same number for the g-box, and this will be only for some dual satellites that are C & Ku satellites, so if you ever have to re-program the g-box you don't have to do both sats. in the DiseqC mode...

    Diseqc 1.2

    I use AZbox edit 2880, you can also use Maz and I have used both 2.3 an 3.0, but with Maz you can NOT send it back to the receiver, it will corrupt you list if you use MAZ to send it back, but not with the 2880.

    Diseqc 1.2

    when storing the position locations in the AZ, their is no need to return back to "Go to Position", just select you're position number or leave it on auto and click on save (you should see the G-box blink with the number that was saved), then exit out of the 1.2 part of the menu. now as far...

    Diseqc 1.2

    You need to re-check you're findings their. with the 5020 fw right now, and in the 1.2 mode works like a champ with no problem at all. when I tried the 4295, an the 4880 it changed motor position numbers around, but that was because of the channel list got corrupted, but the AZ has always ran...

    ? about the Birdview Dish

    From ground up to top of the pipe little over 17-ft. what you can not see is that their are 2 other pipes ( 2-full sticks of 21/2" an 3"pipe) inside of the main pipe along with re-bar and concrete and this pipe goes threw the roof, had to use a crane to set it. did this back in 1994 when I...

    ? about the Birdview Dish

    Yes a Birdview mount will handle a 10-ft mess with no problem. but I think it would be a big waste of time an money to do it on a mess dish, a 10-ft solid would be a smarter choice by far an yes the mount will handle a 10-ft solid just fine with a low (note last picture below) motor amp draw. I...

    how to adjust Ajax H-H worm play?

    morning Bill. yes the 2 big bolts are how you will set the play with the worm gear and 1/2 moon gear. the bolts are 1/2" fine tread and are taped into the motor bracket, most of the time they have some kind of epoxy over the head of the bolt to stop them from becoming louse, so that will need...

    gbox/vbox power booster

    "This is the other hand" I have made from scratch polar mounts, and fitted on to reflectors that where designed for AZ/EL, as well as fitting horizon mounts onto other dishes than for what they where not design for. and have done this a lot in the past 25 years dealing with satellite dishes of...

    CS 8100 and Seagate FreeAgent GO 500GB

    I have a 500gb FreeAgent p/n #9f2al-570, and it works great with fta receivers, had it on a cs-8000, but now it is on a SV-8000, don't own the CS any more. now it was a little tricky to get set up at 1st, I have used swiss knife in the past, but this did not work for me here with this drive...

    DVB-S2 8PSK Jerkiness?

    as far as both sats they play great here on my Pan-9000, we have been watching the ABC-Net-1 this morning for about 2 hours now (wife likes Good Morning A.) and not a glitch, stutter, or skip in the video or audio, with 98-S and 95-Q. as far as the NBC mux's on 103 also not a problem here too...

    DVB-S2 8PSK Jerkiness?

    as far as lnb's I use a few different models Cal Amp Extended Professionals, Galat, Japan Radio, and Norsat, like the cal amps the best, even though a pair of my Norsats are PLL. as far as a noise level (or Kelvin) it does not matter much, what people should be more concerned about is stability...

    DVB-S2 8PSK Jerkiness?

    I also use a Pan-9000, and have for many years. mine here I bought it new and it has only seen Panerax firm ware not like some of these receivers that folks get off fea-bay. now about the stuttering issue, have not seen that happen with mine in years, but have seen it before when I had a dish...
