    Picking Up My First BirdView C-Band Dish

    So the dish mover I chose will basically counts the pulses from magnets on wheel. And I mount the magnet wheel where the potentiometer was. Then the reed sensor is how the box knows where the dish is pointed ?

    Picking Up My First BirdView C-Band Dish

    It's in ground. I don't want talk about how I got it there lol. I ended up using something like a dremel stone in my power drill to ream out the scalar. Not sure about adjusting lnb in or out. I just mounted it flush. But with bolt couplings on there that puts it at 40.25 inches...

    If the lnb does fit flush with the bottom of the scalar, I can always place washers between scalar and rods for fine tuning.

    These bolt couplings are 3/4 inch long. I have bolts and washers to hold to scalar. From dish to scalar is 40.25 inches. I get lnb later today. I'm not sure how far in it sits. I believe the rods with couplings were 42 7/8 not counting threads.

    I will post pics when I get back home. I used 5/16 bolt couplings on current struts. Which gave me almost an inch. I haven't gotten a chance to measure it yet. I will post measurements also.

    Sure enough. Broke 3 of the arms off luckily all at scalar end. All 3 have about 3 threads left on them so I might attempt to use them with like a hex standoff ?

    Picking Up My First BirdView C-Band Dish

    ordered titanium lnb off ebay. So next will be getting it in the ground and aligned. I will temporarily use boat battery to move it. Till I figure out if a vbox will work, or what I will need.
