Thanks to all for the help on this. I never did find a service manual but I did find enough info to realize I did not have a calibration issue after all. :)

jkara - check your PM.

Alignment mostly, but having a manual would be worthwhile for other aspects too.

I am searching for a SERVICE manual for an Avcom PSA 37-d. Does anyone have a pdf or know where I might find one? Google search is not providing much help. Thanks

Are there any dealers around the East coast that sell the GEO Sat Pro 1.2 meter dish. Wanting to buy one but the shipping cost is quite high to have it shipped from California. Any ideas??

C1WPLL™ - Single output PLL wideband (3.4 - 4.2GHZ) --- Stability ---

One helpful hint that I found was to move the dish to the ground (temporary) while getting used to the alignment process - especially with a motor. Then once you feel comfortable with that, move it back up to the roof... It worked for me :)

I have one very similar to yours - this is what I did for mounting an LNB. This dish is currently not in use, but is stored in my barn.. hence the dirt :(.. When I had it up and running the results were very impressive.

Use dishpointer.com as a starting point to find the general location and parameters for setting this dish. http://www.dishpointer.com/ Then as previously pointed out - adjust the dish VERY SLOWLY while watching the meter. I also recommend (for the first time) taking a TV set out to the dish and...

Wonderful - Thanks.

A question for the MicroHD users out there. Does the MicroHD offer recording in the TS or PS mode? Can you select between the two modes? My Manhattan RS-1933 allows for selecting either format, and I was curious if the MicroHD did also. Thanks GI_Joe

Ingenuity at its finest - but I prefer my First Strike Meter!!

Speaking of slates - Does anyone have a screen capture of the following: The History channel from a few years back when they had a problem and showed the "man on the beach" for a month. Also ANY screen capture of the oil spewing from the well during the BP disaster? I had them both and I lost...

We have a simple Christmas dinner at my Mother-in-Laws house each year. then first thing Christmas day go over and see what Santa brought the Grand kids.. Then just relax and enjoy time with family. Thanks for the contest.. GI_Joe - (Enjoy the hobby) :) .

This also peaked my interest. I have spent countless hours fine tuning a C/ Ku dish just trying to peak the signal on Ku. It wasn't until I started playing with the "centering" of the LNBF around the C band scalar ring that things started to make sense.. You can reach a middle ground where...

Okay so now I see a post about G-17 and it seems to answer my question. Thanks. More inputs welcome though..

I am considering setting up three or four dedicated K/u dishes strictly for news feeds and back-haul surfing. Currently what are the most popular sats for catching these feeds? I have seen lots on 91W, 89W, 79W and 77W in the past but I have not check in quite some time. Are there others that...

I have had a couple of the DMX-741 LNB hit by lightening as well. Both times the damage was only to the switching portion of the LNB - the actual LNB portion still worked. I have grounded both dishes with an 8 foot ground rod, and knock on wood, no further damage.

Correction to my original post. I believe I referred to model as an SS-120 - re-thinking I believe it is actually an SS-112.

Correct. The mount is iron.. Mine is fairly rusted, but functional just the same. Odd though - for the dish to weigh as much as it does the mount is designed around a standard 3.5" OD pipe. I added extra bracing to my pipe mount and it has held up nicely. If other have them in service - please...

I forgot to attach this.. This is their original magazine ad from the day...

@ Magic Static - That it... If you can get it I would do whatever you had to do to get it home and set it up. The SS120 is 120 inches (10 foot) funny thing it is actually 9.5 foot. I found mine two years ago. bought it for $50 - the guy honestly did not know what he had. There also a cool video...

I am just wondering how may folks have the Kaultronics stainless steel dish? I have an SS120 and I have often wondered if there are others out there that also have one? Seems I never hear anyone mention having one. Mine has a small sticker that indicates a manufacture date of September 1984.

Look at it this way - The reason C band on a small dish does not work - is the same reason that you can put multiple LNBF on a Ku band dish and see several sats.. A small dish has a larger beamwidth to the sky and can "see" more than what it is pointed to. The problem with C band is that...

The Manhattan RS-1933 receiver allows dual LO settings (5150 \ 10750 ) I have been running it this way for a few months doing testing. I actually prefer to have separate C and Ku satellite locations set up and stored. It takes up more stored locations but you get a more precise aim if you store...
