    6' Bud

    I have,actually, but it was a friday and I was in a wierd mood and thought I'd make a ridiculous suggestion. That is awesome that you're able to keep what you have. I would have all the villagers at my door with anything bigger than a 1 meter.:down Which, in part, explains why I just...

    6' Bud

    Sure you could. Here's what you do: In the dark of night, take down that 6 and put up a 7. Make sure it is painted to EXACTLY match the previous one. Do the same thing every three months or so, each time incrementing the size. Before you know it, you'll have a 10 footer and no one will...

    Spectrum Analyzers

    Well I've done enough installs without the help of an analyzer and I'm ready to pick one up. I have plenty of experience with them, though they're more of the bench type. What's everyone using here?

    radar detector interference ku band

    I seem to recall a story about a problem a TV station was having in Washington, DC when I was there. They kept losing (quality on) their morning show via satellite. After *many* days/hours of replacing equipment, reaiming, TI filters, etc., they found out the same employee was parking in front...

    How about analog receivers?

    Thanks for the quick responses! I hope to hear some other suggestions too. A c-band bud is out of the question for me. The HOA would show up with pitchforks and torches. (Why did I buy a house with an HOA? :mad: ) So I want to maximise my ku experience, and for as long as there is analog...

    How about analog receivers?

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and to FTA in general. I was, until recently, a radio broadcast engineer. Since I'm out of that now, FTA seems a fun hobby. Never really dealt much with satellite, save some C band reception of C5 & G4. I was wondering what any of you may recommend for an analog...
