    Koqit K1 (black one with the curved in front). It does move a Ku dish motor without locking up or rebooting randomly in the transit. A little slow, but moved it spot on

    Time for a new receiver

    I must of got real lucky on my X2 box, it had no problems moving a motor with a 33" dish on it. Took right off first time every move. Unless thats what fried it may of moved it one too many times. I ended up getting a cheapo ebay special simply to get by for now since thats all I can spare on...

    X2 Premium V came today.

    I just bought a premium V and have had it for a few days now. So far I like it Using an SG-9120B motor and an azura shine 33x36 dish, I have not had any issues with the receiver rebooting from moving the dish around. It does seem to move somewhat slower then what it used to be, but so far it...

    Bad 22khz switch or bad receiver

    Bad 22khz switch or bad receiver

    Either my MicroHD is in the process of dying or I have something really odd going on I had what seems to be a dead 8x1 diseqc switch, but today changed it out with a new 4x1 diseqc switch. It worked a short while then went to the point of only seeing H polarity and no V. Only one port was seen...

    Contest: Enter to Win a Titanium Satellite C1W-PLL Wideband LNBF - Ends 3/17/2014

    I work outside most of the time and with all the snow, ice, and cold that has been around I am sick of it. There is a notepad full of projects that need to be done and until it gets warmer the list grows. I could spend a week outside and still not be done, not counting all the inside work, crawl...

    Is Radio Shack hopeless for this hobby, or is it just mine?

    I used to go in RS all the time years ago and buy PCB boards for projects along with various components. Favorites was when they were clearancing out old stock so I could get LED's, switches, and other neat goodies for about 25 cents each. Now that store is just about worthless especially the...

    Two motors on one receiver

    I finally got around to getting a new Vbox again for the C band dish, but it appears I am short on current to run two motors off the same system. It is set up as follows Rcvr->22K switch-> 22K off-> Vbox->C band LNBF and motor (Diseqc 1.2) -> 22K on -> 8x1 switch ->...

    KU and C Band Differences?

    I still kick myself for not asking about a perfect 10 that was in excellent shape, only to go by there one day and seen it was gone. That and a 1.8 with nprm that I already had the ok to get only to have the other half say she doesnt want any more in the yard. She would never leave long enough...
