There may be a setting to shut off lnb power on that receiver. That was how I always used mine. I would feed power from the loop out on my other receiver to it.

What model receiver did you buy? The digitrans 7100 and 7150 work well for figuring out maps. Thats how I edited my maps. The DSR units are much more user friendly.

Do you have any pictures of the damage? That dish is a good performer so I think you will be fine with some imperfections. Both of my mesh dishes in service have mesh damage and they work well.

4026V 18530 is strong and 4040H 30800 is stronger. That is a weaker satellite for me but those 2 transponders always come in.

That dish in Merced looks like my Winegard 10' dish. If thats what it is they are a fine dish. Heavy duty mount.

I don't use a cover but before the storm I move my dish to the far west of the arc so it is standing almost straight up. Then none of the snow sticks to it.

the edge of the dish is rolled over. There are 4 holes in the dish for where the mount was. I think I would have to drill holes towards the edge of the dish to put legs on it.

I calculated the f/d ratio to be .28. I am in the process of figuring out how to mount the lnb on it. I would like to try this dish for Ku first.

Im still in need of a mount for this. I also need a mount for my regency solid dish. I found out that the brand name of the dish is Odom. Either way if I can get any mount I would like to at least rig something up for the solid dish. I have a welder buddy who is willing to help me out.

As long as you are tracking the arc you should have no problem getting signals with a newer receiver while using the Star Trak. You may have to upgrade the lnb depending on what kind you have on the dish. I use a 4dtv receiver as a dish mover. It still works well even though I don't use it for...

I picked up the dish. If anyone can post pics or links to pics of buttonhook feeds that would be great. I have never seen a buttonhook up close. I was thinking of using copper pipe maybe. I don't really want to convert it to the conventional style right now.

the guy said he was using it for satellite many years ago so I don't think it was for microwave use.

It is spun aluminum. Does yours work well with C band?

I have access to one of these dishes. It is just the reflector however. There is no mount or buttonhook. Has anyone had any experience with one of these? Does this model have good reception compared to a similar sized mesh dish? I would like to use it for Ku mostly. If anyone has any ideas to...

Thats a fine dish. I have a 10' Winegard and the mount on it is superior to most others.

My 7.5' dish quit moving tonight. I can hear the dsr clicking when I try to move the dish but the counter isn't moving so upon further inspection I can see that the actuator is not moving. I checked with a voltmeter and I am not even getting 1v when I try to move the dish. Is it something simple...

I am still looking for a mount for this dish. I am picking up the feedhorn supports next week. I would like to set this one up at another property.

I have a 7.5 Sami that I put together with all stainless hardware. I have it setup in my yard scanning 37.5w-83w and it works pretty well. I am in southern NH. I think the dish is a good compromise. It picks up most of the channels on each bird. I was getting everything on 58w but I lost some...

I have a line on a 10' channel master fiberglass dish. Would this dish have a Ku advantage over a 10' mesh? If I get it and set it up I would like something that gets all Ku feeds. These 3' dishes aren't cutting it for a lot of the weaker Ku feeds. I would like to get a dedicated Ku lnb setup...

How can you tell for sure if it is a perfect 10? The original mount is probably still in Texas.

Dish identification I took some pictures of the sections so hopefully someone can identify it by comparing it to their's. I compared it to my SAMI and Unimesh and it doesn't look related. Note the welded rectangles over the end of the mesh in one picture.

That looks like a good solution. As long as it isn't too expensive I will consider that. Thanks Fat Air. You have answered many of my C-band questions since I have been here. I will try to figure out what dish I have and I will keep everyone posted if I find anything.

I have the same setup with my Winegard and I first had trouble with the mount staying put on the pole but I just put longer bolts into it and it has been working for over a year with no issues. I may actually have 3" pipe but at any rate it still works fine. I know what you mean by the Winegard...

I would consider some type of fixed mount for it. I will have to take some measurements later. Just seems like a waste to get rid of it. I do have a welder but no plans for a mount. I didn't see any labels anywhere. The dish finish is weather but the mesh is in good condition.

Hi all I picked up a 10' mesh dish (unknown brand) and the deal was 50$ for the dish. The previous owner was never able to find the mount for it because it was stored for years. So he gave me my money back and let me keep the mesh sections (4 total) I could probably get the feedhorn supports if...
