I had made a webpage back in those days and just came across it not thinking that I still had it after all these years. I hope you will enjoy it. The Very Small Array

To try to get Dish's weak bird to come in (I was locked in to a contract even if it didn't work) I got a CM 1.2m dish and built this adapter to hold a DN LNB. Boy did I get signal then. You could still see the wobble of the bird in signal strength but it never dropped below the point where it...

From the "trying to make Dish's HD satellite work" days, I still have a Dish DP44 and a Dish DP34 switch. Can they be used for anything other than Dish stuff? Like KU and/or C-Band? Can they even be used for more modern Dish equipment?

Mounting pipe for Primestar.... In case you did not get the pipe with your Primestar and need one... I just bought a 3" OD x .120" Wall x 6' L ASTM A513 ERW Welded Mechanical Steel Round Tube at a place called Fastenal for $57 and change (including tax) new. I guess Fastenal is a national...

Found my motor control unit. It's a Uniden UST300

Good luck and best wishes

PS If you do go Primestar prospecting and find one, take the time to dig up the pole it's on. It's worth money. Also they put a weather proof/resistant box on the pole to hold 'lectronics. Grab it.

I like'em I have 4 or 5 of them that I scavenged out of people's yards. (free) When Dish was having problems with their HD bird's wobble, I adapted a dish LNB to one and it pegged the signal meter. You might just get in your car and drive the back roads and look for them out in fields etc. It's...

It takes a while sometimes for information to sink in so I thought I would ask this question now so the info can start it's way in. The ultimate plan would be to have my BUD with dual C-Band LNB set up (V&H) and four 1.2m Primestar dishes (each pointing at a selected bird). The BUD would have a...

Bookmarked That saves me from having to ask.... Well done

Excellent Thank You

Is that good for C-Band and KU or just KU? Thanks

I guess the next big question is "Who makes today's Cadillac receiver?"

I haven't worked any of these in a few years as you can tell. I was contemplating leaving them behind in soggy western WA but then thought they were just to much fun to leave all alone here. So they are about to be moved down to nice dry New Mexico to our new house. None of them work right at...

I'm glad to find a thread about Primestar 1.2m(s) Back when I last messed with FTA the wife and I spent a few weeks driving around the country side here looking for these (great sport) as they were used a lot up here in western WA where we were on the edge of the footprint and had constant...

When we were down in Costa Rica we saw a dish that looks like it was made by the same manufacturer that yours was He said it was a 20' but after looking at yours it looks like less. That's San Jose in the valley

Bravo!

I've been using Satbeams all along and think they are great. I like the whole interface Never tried the Lyngsat contour maps that I can remember.

So you incorporated the declination adjustment with the dish offset adjustment? I'm fiddling with a newly acquired H2H mount and was trying to keep most of the original adjustments, but now I'm thinking I might just eliminate the separate dec adjustment altogether. It would certainly simplify...

Get some RG6 from Home Depot (quad if you like) Then look around on the net for rotor cable. Try "Wireman". They have different gauges for different lengths of runs The WireMan - Rotor cables and control wires - pricing

Sorry. Thought this was the place to ask questions about this topic. I'll use google instead

Nobody knows?

But what do those mean? What does BDA mean? What does WDM mean? I think I got the wife talked into getting me a Technotrend for my birthday. I see they are in stock now :)

That's great! Do they still have stuff about Lionel or is it just the big boys now?

There used to be a program on the RFD channel that had to do with trains. Both model and the big ones. It isn't on there anymore :(
