After following the wise counsels above, Please cover the centre hole. The dish does come with that cover. To my great surprise I found that it makes a great difference with the center cover on. My reasoning cannot explain that...may be someone here

Just to add my salt to the discussion. i bought my S9 from Crownsat a month ago. I was very pleased with the box and the way they handled it.It arrived in 2 weeks time. My friend ordered before me and I followed. He had some scratches on the front panel and they send him a new one free of...

can anybody confirm that in fact the invacom can work with 2.4m offset with improved results. I used one LNBF on 2.4m prodelin and it gives me approximatively same result as 1.2m.

Thanks again for help. God bless

Is that switch same to 0-12V? Can it be replaced with such a switch.

Thank you for answer. I understand I cannot use a 22khz switch as I use Universal lnb. This i did not know that when my receiver is off my pc card can pass thru the receiver up to the dish.

I often read on the forum that some of us use a combination of 22khz switch together with diseqc. What is it for? I understand diseqc switch but liitle of the 22khz. How is it connected to the receiver? I have three dishes now each with single output LNBs. I want to feed these to my receiver...

what is the cost of such a dish? I tried to get one but to no avail.

I'm confused about two calculations from MJflash Horizontal offset = focal_length * sin(dish_azimuth - new_azimuth) Vertical offset = focal_length * sin(dish_elevation - new_elevation) Horizontal offset: focal_length * sin(new_orbital_position - old_orbital_position) Vertical offset...

thank you Anole I\ll go thru it. Have you done it in practice?

Thank you . But how to calculate the distance between the two? Thaicom is lower ( 56 deg el) than IS 10 (63 deg El) So Thaicom LNB has to be HIGHER now by 7 deg but on the right instead of the left. Is there any explanation to this reverse arangement?

I am completing a 3.1m fibre dish. I intend to use it on IS 10 at 68.5 deg E on C band ( may be KU in future). How can I add a second LNB(C band) to get THAICOM 2/5 at 78.5 deg E. Where should I place the second one Right or left? when I'm in front of my dish. Remember I am in southern...

Can It do blindsearch?

I am in fringe area(PAS 10 indian ocean) where and i tried to replace my cheap eurostar 0.3dB with that SNH-031. There was no improvement . I receive 12577 V, 12682 H, 12722V and 12722H(High band). It did not lock to the 12722H.Signal strength for this tp is comparable to the 12682H on the...

The mount for Geosatpro is better.

The bird is tame now Thank you all for help. Anole thank you. I've been able to point my dish to PAS 10. The problem with this dish is the poor mount. The bracket showing the scale is easily bent while sweeping in Azimuth. That was the biggest problem. I intend to change this with a Geosat...

Now I have an inclinometer and I will check. My elevation should be 63.17. Offset is 22.62. My inclinometer reading should be 40.55. Where do you take this reading , front or back of dish? One person says front of dish I should minus the figure from 90. My inclinometer has 0 at both 12 and 6...

From this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=95170 I read The "Fortec dishes have been known to be up to 5 degrees off in dish elevation" Does this mean the scale on the dish reads higher? or the inclinometer reading?. As the offset angle is known for each dish how can it be...

You're right it's me. But here dishes are not easily available. I thought I could get a 150 cm but in the end I found a cheap package Eurostar 120 cm and receiver Digital telecom for around $110. I took it for the receiver mainly. PAS 10 is receivable on this size of dish here. My friend has one...

The bird is not tame Anole here are some pics of my modification. Very happy but could not catch the bird ( PAS 10 here). Could not get a signal. Will try to get help from more experience friends. The fine tuning is very good. It took a long time to move between 55 and 65 deg.

Does this mean the reading on the scale(dish) that is wrong or the inclinometer also will show that increase?

Thank you Anole. I'm on the implementation side now.

I took the measurements when dish is in lowest position. n1=16cm, n2=14cm and s=19cm. the backplate cannot be too high to cater for higher elevation. I measure one inch of threaded rod (ceiling kit/andrew) and got 16 turns.

I'll try to get this measurement when the climate is better.Should both n be equal? As I see in the given pic. Since the screw is straight, the elevation will be limited.If I could move up to 75 deg it would be fine. To do this the pivot point of the screw on the backplate will be lower and by...

would the screw be slanting like the photos? I understand this as per the mathematical triangle. My dish is fix and I only want to have more than one turn per degree. I am thinking to bend the back plate to allow the slant movement.
