    Counter balance a SG2100 for Large dish??

    Thinking about a new project. I don't see any reason why my trusty SG2100 positioner could not turn a much larger dish, provided I counter balance it so that the motor never sees the added weight. Currently at my motor's limit with a 1 meter dish and multiple LNBs. This motor has an...

    This is an LNB adapter for installing a smaller diameter LNB on a standard holder. I am using them to install bandstacked LNB's on a T90 dish, but I can't remember where I got them. Does anyone know who sells these adapters? They measure 1.5 inches outside diameter and 7/8 inches inside...

    Controlling one SG2100 from multiple receivers?

    Is there a standard way to control one SG2100 positioner with multiple receivers? I am thinking of using 0/12 volt switches with a "simple dc control circuit" which would only allow one receiver at a time to have motor control. The 0/12 volt switches would access diseqc switches or the motor...

    Started playing around with MiBi's positioner plugin "SS2diseqc1.9" and it is awesome!! Calculates the "go to XX" angle for all available satellites based on your lat and long, and then drives the dish. Having the ablity to select all the satellites by USAL while running MyTheatre is great...
