Win a DG380 HH Motor I could really use that DG380 motor. As soon as the snow clears and I can reach my dish, I'm going to pull the motor apart and find out why its stuck.... AND, in case I get it back together and it still doesn't work, I'll have a working motor to fall back on. Then I...

Additional info, all 4 outputs from the LNB are acting approx the same way. John

Hi All, I've been trying to install a Ku band system (off and on) for the past 3 weeks and have had zero success. I'm running a Merc II rcvr, QPH031 LNB and Fortec 90cm dish, S-SM21H switch. Location is 42.40N/71.22W, in NE Mass. As far as the system is concerned, there isn't a bird in the...

Edit: Would it suffice to just make up a connector with a 1.0 (or so) uf capacitor to block the DC to the input of the analyzer?

Hi all, Dumb question, but I couldn't find anything specific in the manual to prove it out. I have a Fortec Mercury II receiver and was wondering if the LNB IN port propagates the 13-18VDC control voltage to the IF OUT (loop thru) port?? Reason for this question is that I want to connect...

I dunno Fred, Your roof may be strong, but I'd be worried about the house tipping over. Either that or some tourists will be driving by and mistake it for one of the Tall Ships... LOL John

Hi all, Although its close to 90F today here in NE Mass. I was sitting here at the bench wondering what I should be concerned about when Ol' Man Winter comes around and how he will try to beat the stuffing outa my Ku dish system. Being up here at 42 deg NLat, things can get pretty cold...

Thanks guys for setting me straight. Alan, just so happens I DO have a spectrum analyzer. I picked up an HP 182T with a 22GHz plug-in. I think that may come in handy when setting up the system. Tweak and peak till I get it right. I went to your website. Super trucks. Frontline is one of my...

Well after all my research and speculation, I finally bought an FTA system. (I jumped in with both feet--- HEAD FIRST---) I picked up a Mercury II rcvr, Fortec 90cm dish, QPH031 LNB and an SM21H switch. Oh, I also got a DG240 motor to move the dish. I think I've thought out how/where I'll mount...

Hi all, Just thought I'd say HI and introduce myself. Hope this isn't out of line. I'm relatively new to FTA sats and am trying to digest all the info available on all the components that make up a "typical" system. I work as a Microwave Tech in the TV broadcast industry, mainly in...
