FOR N6BY, The specs for the different diameters are here: SDE Dual-Axis Positioner. My guess on the diameter of the pipes in relation to the torque required the rotate the pipe is based on my theory that the larger the diameter of the pipe the less torque required to rotate the pipe. If that...

I guess I don't have to redesign the wheel after all. Kinematis Dual-Axis Positioner as seen above. Kinematics Dual Axis Position for satellite dish (video) http://www.kinematicsmfg.com/wp-content/themes/kinematics/techspecs/common/catalog.pdf See pp. 47–56 in the catalog for the Dual Axis...

Now this is the gun slinging set up I'm looking for! (LOL!) If only I had the money.

For TRUST, from Nijmegen Nethelands: EGIS - Antenna-Rotor EGIS - Antenna-Rotor

OHHHH GREAT! MORE HOMEWORK! (LOL!) I would have eventually delved into AMSAT-NA. But now that you brought it up? OKAY. AMSAT-NA was inevitable, sooner or later. (LOL).

Now I do have these to tinker with. Will the ASC1 work for these dishes? I want to see if I can salvage one of these for the FSS, DSS and DBS.

Oh, yeah. Just in case someone would be interested to know whats what on the Shortwave (HF) Band and 6 Meter Band (50 MHz) I have uploaded my 174 page 2017 SHORTWAVE FREQUENCY GUIDE in MS Word. You can add to it if you are a Shortwave Radio Listener. Note the last page has the satellite...

AHHHH CRAP! I thought I had a bull's eye with that dart toss. What controller would you suggest for the full 360° Azimuth and 5° to 100° Elevation for the dish? "Amateur radio and FSS/DSS/DBS are on different bands and the feeds would not be interchangeable." That is EXACTLY what I need to...

Thanks to AI6US and all of the others for my learning by emersion! MY PROJECT: I will scrap the antiquated hinge-type HTH mount limited to geostationary satellites. In its place I will find or fabricate a slew gear drive system for both the 360° Azimuth and the 5 to 100° Elevation for both the...

Won't flip! I will buy a replacement 6 inch steel pipe (not decided on the length yet) with 5 feet of that pipe in the ground.

I used the online Trig Calculator to work up this graphic presentation for my Birdview Satellite Dish "line of sight" to most of the celestial sky. I need a graphic presentation to present to home owners & the land owners to explain my need for a clear line of sight to the geostationary...

Yeah! I thought about that. But, I will just do what I can with what I have now as the photo shows. The other night provided a clear sky, no clouds. I sighted in the North Star. I used one T-bar staked in the ground at a convenient spot. I used my long length of galvanized pipe tied to the...

Tall trees, 50 feet average height, in close proximity present three logical solutions: (1) Raise the height of the Birdview Satellite Dish, (2) Cut down the trees blocking the celestial horizon, or (3) Accept the limitations for less than optimal amateur radio satellite communictions. Even if...

That IMO Slewing Worm Drive company offered MM sizes only. I'm back to Google Images to pick a set of Slewing Worm Drives to match a 6-inch or 8-inch pipe for the Azimuth & Elevation. Two motors are required for the separate Azimuth and Elevation movements. That means two mounting platforms...

Titanium/AI6US, OHHH MANNN! Kick my ass! The link you provided to www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl listed Ham Radio Deluxe's Satellite Tracker. I already have Ham Radio Deluxe! I had forgotten about the Satellite Tracker because I don't have an amateur radio satellite dish (yet). WELL! That's one problem...

That IMO Slewing Gear company emailed their catalog to me. Now to find the right size and price for 4 slew gears. If too expensive? Back to R & D.

For both Titanium/AI6US & Martyn: I presume the availability of software and control boxes each of you mentioned is the technological case today. But I am getting my feet wet with my project to modernize the 30-year-old HTH mount on the Birdview Satellite Dish, Model AP-2028. I have no...

Introduction to Onshape. While I will most likely be successful designing and fabricating a satellite dish mount for the rotational Azimuth & Elevation mechanics for the conversion of my 30-year-old Birdview Satellite TVRO (Model No. AP-2028) into an Amateur Radio Communications Satellite Dish...

Three posts above I joked about "hand-cranking" the satellite dish. :clapping:oldno Well? I found a hand cranking worm gear! :deadhorse2

I KNEW WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! I'VE SEEN IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES! BUT I COULDN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT! UNTIL NOW! (CRANES!) THE SLEWING BEARING WD-H Heavy-Duty Worm Gear Slew Drives THIS IS THE PERFECT PART FOR THE CONVERSION. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS AT THIS TIME. Slewing Bearings...

I SELECTED A FREE 3D CAD PROGRAM FROM A LIST OF 30 BEST FREE CAD SOFTWARE TOOLS FROM BEGINNERS TO PROFESSIONALS 30 Best Free CAD Software Tools (2D/3D CAD Programs) | All3DP I did not select SketchUp. I selected an advanced freemium (free to amateur hobbyists) program, Onshape. Onshape...

This is the Azimuth & Elevation System I am looking for (in design). I will find or fabricate a simplified design for my Birdview Satellite Dish. (I HOPE, ANYWAY). Now, I have to decide actuators or gears for the movement of my dish. Either way, it is going to involve designing, fabricating &...

DON HAMRICK/KI5SS MY PROJECT: Converting my newly acquired 30-year-old Birdview Satellite Dish (AR-2028) (solid aluminum dish) from a TV Receive Only Dish to an Amateur Radio Satellite Communications Dish. I THANK AI6US FOR THE INFORMATION HE PROVIDED IN MY PREVIOUS POSTING. From the...
