    Neat adaptation of my Corotor polarity/skew control

    Very well done. I note that your dielectric has a shaft linking it to the skew arm at the bottom of the feedhorn tube; My Chapparral Corotor has no such dielectric in the tube just the skew arm. Has my Corotor lost a component on its journey to me ? Thanks Tony

    We are way down south outside normal reception areas. With a large antenna we got reasonable reception which we lost for an hour each day on our old sporster SP-R2R.

    two problems in Panama

    1. My old Legacy II box has a problem, it does not respond to the remote control. I have changed the batteries but that didnt help. I use the box to move the dish and to change polarity.

    Help the Polorator has died

    I would very much like the details when you can dig them out. I enjoyed you website and was green with envy when I saw your tower with all the antenna on it.
