    Fiberglass dish repair

    I used this cleaner from home depot and a regular kitchen sponge for most of it and a stiff brush for some areas that were not getting clean enough. its a much better option than using a pressure washer as this would likely damage the dish especially it being older. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Is this equipment still usable

    I bought the USB dongle for analyzing frequencies. So there are 4 sets of FM traps. 2 of the sets say hi "q" trap hi band. what frequency is this referring to? and the other 2 say hi "q" trap lo band/fm, Obviously these 2 are blocking fm, but what are they referring to when they say lo band...

    Is this equipment still usable

    Thanks for the recommendation. That would be something good as the channel would be operating at 515 mhz, or channel 21. Are there any filters that would just block 21, or is that really my only option. Worst case scenario I lose a couple stations between 19-23

CT Public Television just got approval to remove their side mounted antenna, put a new antenna at the top. and upgrade their transmitter. Since the increased height of the antenna, and beam...

    I think its a report by location. I did the report for my house and did another report right down the hill toward the end of my street and there is significantly less receivable channels, as well as the transmitter located close by, wedw the signal level changes from my house to the end of my...

    Is this equipment still usable

    So you basically there is 2 fm traps, which i assume help eliminate fm frequencies. then those go into the 4 sets of dials, which i assume you tune those dials to reject a certain fm frequency. If those reject fm how do I tune them? The fm channels I would be trying to block are 89.5, 91.1...

    Is this equipment still usable

    I have just acquired what seems like a vhf/uhf/fm amplifier/distribution system for an apartment building. The antennas on the roof are long gone, but the box is still there. the equipment is very old, as it is probably original to the building. Are these things still usable? if so, how would I...

    HTS actuator help

    I found a 10 foot dish a few months back and was looking at the actuator, I have sprayed pb blaster multiple times and can’t get it to budge. I am having trouble taking it apart, and it seems there is only one bolt to do so, and no sockets fit in the small opening. Is this even repairable, or...

    Directv Slimline for FTA

    I have been trying to get signal for a while now from Galaxy 19. I bought a lnb bracket and clamped it to the lnb arm and have it in the same place as the old lnb. Its a universal lnb and have the settings set to 9750/10600 in my Amiko hd265 receiver. Mast is plumb, any suggestions? My zip is...
