ZZ. Welcome to THE Site, and there are no dumb questions here, believe me, I know! Hope that your experience here, is just as informative as mine has been. A wonderful bunch of people here, and VERY well informed. Good luck with your setup, and again, welcome!

Magnetic Declination – True, with a Compass (2) GP, Glad to see that you’ve got things working well. But, as I re-read my last post, seeing that maybe someone may need a better explanation of how to set the Magnetic Declination on a Compass. If anyone is interested, please check out...

Declination – True, by Compass. This is the procedure how to set the Magnetic Declination (MD) on a Compass and subsequently find True North/South. First of all, you will have to “find/know” your MD, and the easiest way I know to do that, is to go to: http://www.topozone.com/ Type in...

Magnetic Declination – True, with a Compass GP, As I wrote in my PM to you, I apologize for the incorrect Link to TopoZone, the correct one is http://www.topozone.com/ I had not checked the Link in a while, and find that you need to type in your City and select the State, then it will...

GaryPen, Been through the same thing, but confirmed my TS with Mag Compass, try checking out www.topo.com, type in your Zip, and read the exact Mag Deviation at the bottom of the page for your loaction. Also, you might check out some existing posts at...

Umm, from what you say, seems like the Motor(s) may be a little slow, getting where you want them. I’ve read the “travel” info on some, but at my present level of experience, that didn’t mean much. I do see on the HH120 specs, that it moves 1.1°/s, which means (I think) it would take it 80...

I'm not sure what happened !? This is a copy from another Thread, questions which i ask, but, the Thread was closed. So... I checked out the Invacom site, and copied info on some of the LNB’s. I think I may have misunderstood some info I got in the past, and now I’m not sure that the SNH...

Views wescopc, You may not be aware, but I’m on a very limited internet connection, I have to download/save the Post Page, read it offline, write a reply in .doc on my Computer, then the next day, paste/post that reply. So, there’s a profound LAG in my replies. As I said yesterday, if you...

PSB, I checked out the Invacom site, and copied info on some of the LNB’s. I think I may have misunderstood some info I got in the past, and now I’m not sure that the SNH or TWH LNB’s will do Circular, will they? Is the key word “Polar”, when it comes to the LNB’s ability to receive...

Iceberg, Thanks for the direction on “what to see”. But, as I looked up the Programs for AnikF1, I saw a F1R also. Is that the same Sat?

OK!, I admit I’m greedy, I wanna see all I can on FTA, but I’m a little confused about where the line is, between getting Circular Signals and actually crossing the line to what’s called “Hacking”! A learned acquaintance of mine offered: “All you need is a DBS LNB and a Diseqc switch to...

mastermesh, Would you happen to have a URL where I could look at that exact Mount? Also, the attach dosn't show some stuff that I will do, like drilling through the Roof, and putting some All thread through a 2x4 across the rafters, inside the Attic. Figgured that would pull the Mount down...

Iceberg, Duuh, OF COURSE!, I had that information right in front of me, and didn’t realize how few of the lower Freq’s were even in my FOV until you pointed that out! My LNB goes from 11.7 to 12.2 which falls right in the Linear Band of just about all Sats from 60° to 148° GSO. I guess I was...

I may be very late on this: Not sure if you've got your Motor mounted yet, but here's a couple views, of what I expect to do. Haven't decided if I'll go with the Under-Eve or on Roof yet. Hope this helps.

Thank both of you for the replys! Interesting stuff hwh, I always like to see how setups are done, never know when that little bit of info, will help somewhere sometime. PS: Gee, i bet it's real tough putting up and taking down those Tripods! A few weeks in Vegas, then at Lake Mead, you may...

hwh, I’ve looked at several of the Motor specs from several vendors, and yes, they are definitely stingy with the info on the wind ratings. However, my guess is the bigger the better, and the sound of “metal gears” greatly outweighs that of plastic. I really don’t care how much one weighs...

hwh, UOOPS!, spoke to soon! I’m usually in such a hurry to get things done because of my limited online time, that I over looked the specs on the Wind Rating. Seems like the Model: SM3D22 aka SaTracer 3 SW SATCONTROL HH MOTOR is rated at, 140kph/87mph. Umm, that’s a little lower rating...

hwh, THANK YOU !, i was begining to wonder if there was anyting out there to help! I downloaded the page, but didn't see any info on what wind rating it had, not thet it matters if it's the only motor that has a 40mm "Bent Motor Pole"! Finally know what to call it! I tryed to save the...

I’ll try this again, Link to HH100 setup diagram is [url]www.satsig.net/polar-mount-6.htm[/url Ahh, IT DID! Iceberg, IF I understand what you mean, you say just spread the Dish Clamp open wide, then slip it over the Motor Shaft, and use longer bolts to tighten it down! But, let me say...

PS: Tried to make the url show, where you could have a link to the site, but it just won’t work. HH100 Stab polar mount alignment and set up

Iceberg, Thanks for the reply, but, since my Dish would slide up on the Motor Shaft (then bolt through it) I just can’t imagine how that works! I reviewed the pictures you posted on Pg 2 of this thread, but, they didn’t actually show the Dish Clamp connection, to the Motor Shaft. Once I see...

Still looking ! Subsequent to my original Post in this thread, I still have not been able to verify that my LNB is in the correct location, as described in the attachment (Houston1.jpg) on Pg1 of this thread. I appreciate Global10’s offering of the information located at...

I’M BACK !!! Iceberg, PSB, Tron, thank all of you for your replies ! During my little (unavoidable) respite, I had a chance to look at some info. I may be up the creek, in trying to use a heavier motor. I took a look at the HH120 Motor specs, which are pretty much the same, as most, that...

PLEASE excuse me for replying so slowly, unavoidably I have to respond to your post and replies, the day after I get them from the Site. Bare with me! Also, given the date (22nd), I may be approaching my (10hr) limit of usage for the Month, so, if that happens, I’ll get back on line after the...
