    40" C/Ku - Band Dish

    Hi Guys, Thanks! I will change the skew on the ASC421 so that the "0" is at 9 o clock position when looking at the dish. Are there any particular actuators that are better than others? I've heard of VanWeiser and Skyjack. Thank you, Virgil

    40" C/Ku - Band Dish

    Hi Guys, The 6' dish is an Orbitron. It came with a Pansat 1000 and a Uniden analog reciever. I want to thank Pete for pushing me over the edge into C-Band. I set it up this weekend and have it tracking the arc. The jack was frozen because the dish hadn't been moved in a couple of years...

    40" C/Ku - Band Dish

    Hi Pete, I'm thinking to look around my area to see if I can get one for free. The work to take it apart and re assemble it is easy. I have a few questions for you: 1. How do you know what size actuator to use? 2. Does the actuator size (18", 24") give you the range that you can scan...

    Sat positions drifting

    Hi Jim, My parents have a VBOX with a Pansat2500 on a C-Band Bud and it seems that they have a simlar problem, but not as bad. When they go from one end of the arc (Satellite) to the other and back, over a period of a month or so they need to re-adjust the satellite position. It seem to...
