    1.2m Andrew Commercial Ku Dish Help

    Finally finished my 1.2m dish. I have it set a AMC 1 for now. I can motorize it but I prefer not to as it is too heavy and any heavy wind gust will wreak havoc on it. I'll most likely keep it at AMC 1. I'm getting better reception than my 90cm but that may be due to the LNB placement. I need to...

    Ku Satellite Dish Question

    I got to work on dish today. I had to go my local hardware store to pickup some parts and also an aluminum panel. See photos below. It shaved off a lot of weight but the dish is still heavier than most 1.2m. I tried putting on the HH120 and i didn't get a signal. I don't know what to tweak...

    Ku Satellite Dish Question

    I got some updates on my dish. I ordered a second geosat pll lnb and took it apart. Removed the the plastic casing around it and tried to see if it could fit in the neck of the current OMT. Perfect fit. I was surprised. Below are some pictures. My question now is I won't have any issues with...

    Ku Satellite Dish Question

    So I ordered the back assembly from a 1.2m Geosat dish (7-10 business days). I will remove the az/el mount that is currently on my 1.2m dish and retrofit the 1.2m geosat back assembly onto it with a block of wood. Like in photo below. My question is will this affect the elevation now since i'm...

    Ku Satellite Dish Question

    I just received my motor today. Here are some pics. I haven't installed it on the tripod yet. I'll do that this weekend. The shaft is 2" in diameter. I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna mount it.

    Ku Satellite Dish Question

    I'm still waiting for my motor to arrive but I found very good install instructions for my dish and yours. It's not the same name but the parts looks exactly the same. It could be a re-branded dish. http://www.satcomnow.com/satcom/pdf/SkywareGlobal_123man.pdf I won't know if I can motorize...

    1.2m Andrew Commercial Ku Dish Help

    Yes, I did order the STAB HH120 from a seller in Canada. They have a website and an ebay listing. I didn't take a photo but i removed the lnb and tried to put the Geosat PLL on it and it doesn't fit. I'll try to have a photo tomorrow and size of the neck. I think I'm going to do what this guy...

    1.2m Andrew Commercial Ku Dish Help

    Thanks, I've researched a lot before I jumping on the dish. I'm not ready to spend up to $350 on a Ku PLL from northsat or new japan radio. I will take off that BUC uplink thing. I want to somehow use my Geosat SL1PLL lnb on this lnb mount. The problem is the two metal arms holding the lnb...

    1.2m Andrew Commercial Ku Dish Help

    Hello, I'm new to this forum as far as posting, but I've been browsing on this site for some time. I'm new to FTA (less than a year) but I have a 90cm Geosat motorized dish. I just recently acquired from CL a 1.2m Andrew (red lighting bolt) Ku dish from a guy who said he took it off a movie...
