    Anyone else having lousy luck with motors?

    Brian, you may be thinking of me. from the archives: Another potential player in this space is a product known as the “Maestro Jack.” Brian of SatelliteAV was kind enough to allow me to test one of these products that was apparently under evaluation/consideration by his company. Initially it...

    Anyone else having lousy luck with motors?

    My SG2100 has been in use since 2005 (or 2006?). The bracket isn't very strong and it may be slipping a bit but it is still working. Moving a Winegard DS-2076 with multi LNBs the whole time. Not the biggest Ku dish but it isn't all that light....

    Eliminating the SG2100 motor's pass-thru?

    Sorry I am a little confused. Is the worry the load the motor places on the receiver or signal loss of the LNB signal passing through the motor connection? Does the 2100 attenuate the signal more than a diplexer would? I haven't thought about this very deeply but would have thought that both...

    What you think of my new Avatar?

    Congrats on the new rig! It looks real nice. I have always liked Kenwood gear since they entered the Ham market in what I recall was the early '70s. ....KQ6BR

    First FTA receiver?

    My first receiver was a black Coolsat 4000 Pro purchased (I think) in 2005. I bought it from a local electronics surplus store that had one on display aimed at the FTA on 123 West at the time. I didn't know much about FTA at the time. I bought a package with a DSR2076 dish, SG2100 mover and a...

    Status of C-Band 95W tp24?

    Both of you answered my questions. When I went back to troubleshoot all channels were live so I was confused. The fact that they black out at times likely explains what happened to me. Thanks to both of you for your answers!

    Status of C-Band 95W tp24?

    Manually moved my 1.8m dish from 99W to 95W last night for the first time. Picked up tp24 with the CBS and the other feeds just fine per The List and I watched them for a while. I moved the dish last night to be sure I could get a program this afternoon on 95W but when I turned my receiver back...

    THC or BIO gone or moved?

    It will be interesting to see if your 101W problems stay away. I am in CA and experiencing similar to what you described with a loss of signal. Had it again this AM......

    Nets on G16 up?

    THANKS for checking. I put my 6 footer up about 6 months ago and the reception has declined steadily on 99w. I think it is a tree issue. I appreciate you checking as I am still adjusting things and now I know they are there. Thanks again.

    Nets on G16 up?

    Thanks. I have been traveling so much I haven't been around. They were missing when I got home and turned on the receiver and I am trying to adjust my 6 footer but don't see any quality on 3845. Odd, I get everything else though. Thanks for the reply. I'll keep trying.

    Nets on G16 up?

    Sorry to ask this question as it comes up from time to time and the answer seems to be re-scan, but are the local nets up on G16 at 99w? I see all else but them. I am also fighting a tree but want to make sure they are still up. The List shows them alive and a search didn't yield any news...

    Question about loop out

    The original thread I saw on slaving a receiver was about an analog receiver and it suggested using a DC Block. I thought the same logic applied to all receivers so I've continued to use one to be safe. I have noticed some quirks when I've used the Coolsat as a master but am glad to know about...

    Question about loop out

    Is there any resource that shows how each product's loop out port behaves? I've used a DC block to be safe between my main and slaved receivers but was unaware that a looped receiver could control polarity when placed behind some receivers as mentioned in the post above. My use of loop out has...
