    Anyone have a Avcom PSA 37-D Service Manual

    Thanks to all for the help on this. I never did find a service manual but I did find enough info to realize I did not have a calibration issue after all. :)

    Anyone have a Avcom PSA 37-D Service Manual

    Alignment mostly, but having a manual would be worthwhile for other aspects too.

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    Yes - most definitely it's ALL about the money. However -- When they dropped AMC a few years ago I dropped them and didn't think twice about it.. The customer is ALWAYS right - how quickly they forget!!

    Accuracy of an old 7' steel dish

    Post some pictures of the steel dish if you can. I have a 10 foot Kaul-Tronics steel dish (see avatar) - it has a sticker (which is faded) but you can still read manufactured Sept 1984. That puts it right at 30 years old..

    Hi All I am new and need FTA Help

    One helpful hint that I found was to move the dish to the ground (temporary) while getting used to the alignment process - especially with a motor. Then once you feel comfortable with that, move it back up to the roof... It worked for me :)

    Aldi Dish

    I have one very similar to yours - this is what I did for mounting an LNB. This dish is currently not in use, but is stored in my barn.. hence the dirt :(.. When I had it up and running the results were very impressive.

    Help with new dish wiring

    Just my opinion - your best choice will be to replace the actuator with one that will generate the pulses needed.

    Help with new dish wiring

    It is difficult to tell from the pictures, but is that an analog counter circuit in the actuator - (a potentiometer that is used for the position) . If so, it is not going to work with a Vbox which requires pulses.

    Is this damage fixable if so how

    Any bracket can help this to become stable. - Once the dish is assembled with the other pieces you will never notice the broken weld. It would only be an issue while it is disassembled like it is the the photo.

    FTA Setup

    Use dishpointer.com as a starting point to find the general location and parameters for setting this dish. http://www.dishpointer.com/ Then as previously pointed out - adjust the dish VERY SLOWLY while watching the meter. I also recommend (for the first time) taking a TV set out to the dish and...

    Did I just hit the jackpot? Or not?

    Even a 30 foot tower is worth it.. You can always add a few sections.

    MicroHD Question

    A question for the MicroHD users out there. Does the MicroHD offer recording in the TS or PS mode? Can you select between the two modes? My Manhattan RS-1933 allows for selecting either format, and I was curious if the MicroHD did also. Thanks GI_Joe

    Searching for a 10' Winegard Pinnacle Buttton Hook pole

    It has been a LONG time (over 6 months) since my last post on this. I got bogged down with work and I have had limited time. _ i finally got moving on this. I really could not find a decent replacement for the button hook, so I made my own. See pictures. I took a 1 1/4 " diameter pipe and had...

    Better Ku performance on BUDs

    This also peaked my interest. I have spent countless hours fine tuning a C/ Ku dish just trying to peak the signal on Ku. It wasn't until I started playing with the "centering" of the LNBF around the C band scalar ring that things started to make sense.. You can reach a middle ground where...
