I did it! :happyd2: First, I built a triangle base with a simple elevation mechanism. I ran into a bit of drama when the bolt holes didn't line up on the new scalar, so I kept the old one, copying the f/D setting. Then, after setting skew and elevation with a Clinometer app on my iPhone...

I'd still have the burden of finding and sinking a vertical pipe or making a base to accommodate it. I'd rather just build something from 2x4s, all-thread, and a couple of nuts. I just need a setup that will hinge at the bottom and let me adjust the elevation in the rear. Sort of like this:

I got 'em off with the hacksaw, broke it down into two 180-degree sections, and stuffed it into the back of the truck. Tomorrow I'll head to the hardware store to buy all new nuts and bolts. While there, I'll also figure out a new mount. Since I'm pointing at one satellite for the entire trip...

I was able to snap most of the bolts, but the ones I'm dealing with today are round-headed and hold together two circular plates that hold the dish together in the middle. There's not enough to grab onto.

Sorry for the late response. I'm headed to the Dominican Republic. I found a dish someone was looking to get rid of. I brought home the LNB, feed assembly, and mount/actuator today. I'm going back tomorrow for the dish itself. The bolts holding the petals together were rusted and I need a...

Thanks for the replies. It looks like a new dish is out of my budget. I'm probably going to buy an LNBF and keep an eye on Craigslist or scrounge something local when I get down there.

Hi all, I have a Cisco D9865-H receiver that was used to receive Armed Forced Network in southwest Asia. I'd like to take it with me on a mission to the Caribbean, but according to the footprint map, I'll be restricted to C-band. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive C-band dish and LNB? I'll...
