    Is this a 12 foot dish?

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to determine if this is a 12 foot dish, without having to drive 120 miles to find out in person. Let me know what you think. Thanks, sgs

    Accuracy of string test

    As mentioned in another thread, I'm building LNBF / scalar support arms, so I measured my dish with the "string test". I found fishing line works really well for this purpose. I put down 4 "strings", every 45 degrees around the dish. This was with the dish assembled on the ground, not...

    Question about Scalar Ring / LNBF placement

    Hi guys, I'm working on some replacement "arms" to hold my scalar ring and LNBF on a 10 foot dish. The old arms are weak and rusting out badly. Previously when I put the dish up, I simply assembled everything, and adjusted the LNBF in / out of the scalar ring, but I didn't pay attention to...

    High winds and a Big Dish

    Hi everyone, Tonight we have very high winds, and I'm wondering what the best position for my large 10 foot dishes is during high winds. Let's say the wind is coming from due south. Should I pull the actuator in completely, making the dish face be to the west? Or should I leave the dish...

    Need AJAK 180 H-H mount pics - how do I adjust declination?

    Hi everyone, Recently I purchased an AJAK 180 H-H mount. I'm wondering if I'm missing some parts, because I can't figure out how to adjust the declination. On regular mounts using a linear actuator, there is a bolt that adjusts the declination by adjusting the angle of the lower (or upper)...

    12 Foot Vs 10 Foot Dishes...

    Hi everyone, I'm wondering if it's worth trying to find and install at 12 foot dish for C-band. I currently have 10 footers and can get most things, but certain weak transponders aren't always perfect. This might be due to tuning, but I've tuned them as best as I can with the various meters...

    Options for simultaneous C-band linear and C-band circular on a single 10 foot dish

    Hi everyone, I have got my 10' Perfect Ten dish aligned fairly well now. I am tracking from 22w to 135w for c-band and ku-band (some ku issues on certain birds, but I'll probably get a 1.2m dish for ku anyway). I'm currently using a dual C/KU-band LNBF on the dish. I am able to receive...

    AZBOX Azbox Ultra Audio pops/crackling even in setup menu

    Hi everyone, I've got an Azbox Ultra HD receiver running the latest firmware (0.9.5402), and it seems that when I tune the SD channels on the EWTN mux on 133W, I have audio problems. The audio repeatedly clips out momentarily, while the video remains stable and playing. It's similar to how it...

    Any FP/ZK 4DTV DCII signals on Ku band?

    Hi everyone, First post :o I recently used the Map Master software and updated the maps/channels of my DSR 922. I've been able to find a bunch of FP/ZK (free to air) channels on different satellites using my C-band LNBF. However, I'm wondering if it's worth trying to find anything on Ku for...
