    DMX741U C/KU LNBF

    Isn't Linuxman doing some tests? I had thought about doing an exchange. Then started reading all the RMA stuff, blah, blah, hobbyist item and all that. Seems like a big hassle but I will give it a shot. I do agree that back to back testing should be done for a true comparison. I will be...

    DMX741U C/KU LNBF

    I would like to say first off I'm a newb to BUD's. I haven't found much info on the DMX741U other than what is on the WSI site and what Lak7 has given me so I though I would share what I have learned. (Thank you Lak7 for your help!) I would imagine it's all out there but being a newb not all of...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    No, It does not have a switch or built in Diseqc. It is the GeoSat Pro C/KU from Sadoun.

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    The C side is DEAD. I tried everything short of what Quatr00 suggested. I connected straight to the C side of the LNB and NOTHING. 0 is all 1 could get. Right now it doesn't matter. I cant get it pointed worth a crap so.....I'll try again tommorow. I didnt realize these were so sensitive. The...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    When I had it all hooked up to the reciever I selected port 2 on the diseqc, L.O. of 5150 and did a blind scan I could never get anything. 0 is all I could ever get. on 103W, KU on port 1 blind scans fine. I am going to take the Diseqc out, connect C straight to the reciever and try again...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    I connected C-band side directly to the acutrac and had a reading of 0. It didn't matter where I was pointed in the sky. I never changed the skew or depth of the LNB while connected to C. Shouldn't I have some sort of signal even if the LNB needs to be adjusted? Even a low signal? When I...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    Aww man . I ran all my cable yesterday, set up my box and found I was pointing at 103W instead of 97W. LOL! That explains allot. I have to go back and reset everything. THAT IS OK THOUGH! It's all a learning experiance for me and I'm really enjoying it. Thats what its all about aint it? I'm...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    THANK YOU SATELLITE GUYS! I fought this thing over 2 sundays. I finally decided I needed a good meter to peg this thing. (Probly just me but it works great!) I bought an AcuTrac 22 MKII Pro. Today, I shortened the pole by 30 inches and installed my leveler. (another thread) Reinstalled the...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    OK. I pretty much "assumed" they were birdview dishes. I re-read her email. She said she though about making them "gold fish ponds" but she didn't say whether they were metal or fibreglass. I just shot her another email for more details. She's an older woman so I'm not gonna ask her to measure...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    Thank you everyone for your comments. I think I have a grasp of it now. I have a "Johnson" angle finder. I am not sure how accurate it is. Can someone recommend a GOOD angle finder? Linuxman...I have been reading some of your posts. There is an older lady about 40 miles from me that has given...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    Yes, That is correct. I am going to print everything off today and sit and read it all again and start over with my dish pointing procedure. Last night, I could peg 97, scan and had a few channels.(nothing I could really understand but at least a channel) If I motored west I could see the signal...

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    I hit 97 with an Signal of 72+ and Quality of 98. I can't peg anything else. I think I need to lower my elevation and move everything east a tad.

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    No, You are correct. I was using the dishpointer site. I was getting 52 degrees or so elevation but didn't know the declination. I'm going out now to give it a shot. 20 degrees high....yea...I can see why I couldn't hit anything.

    Elevation and declination. Dazed and Confused.

    See...thats why I'm confused. Those numbers are different than I have been coming up with. I finally just wallked away and am taking a break. I wasn't trying to be lazy, I posted out of frustration. I'm sure others have been there. I'm gonna read a bit. Its gotta be something simple.

    Help Identifying BUD mesh size.

    SCORE!!! I went driving around....found 3 BUDs within 1/2 mile from the house I never knew existed. I picked up one with the pole for $50. A pencil will not pass through the mesh. There is a sticker on the dish that says "Unimesh" and on the LNB cover it says "Unimesh". I pulled the LNB cover to...

    Help Identifying BUD mesh size.

    I am trying to identify this dish or at least get some confirmation of whether or not the mesh is small enough it might do KU. I want to do C/KU and need a dish and I found this one. I have been looking at other pics and so far it seems it might do KU band. Anyone have a clue? Sorry for the...
