Thanks Bri. Already have most of my C band xml done. A bit. Not much work. No extra hardware or mods needed. And tested. I have no 5G interference out here in the sticks. Hopefully I can snag a couple of Norsat's that work. Knowing little but what's still bolted to my Chaparral polorotor C/ku...

Like the subject says. Wondering how it's usually done. I see tek has a 13/18 volt switch. I just refuse to buy anything from him. Other searches come up a bit blank. It might be covered in the archives here but that's some deep searching. In the interim. Although it might not be kosher. I was...

Hey. It's almost a no-brainer. If you're willing and able and have the skills. And want to prolong the life and save some money in the process. Go for it. Modern synthetics are superior to dynosaur lubes. The oil doesn't leave the base and just a clump of wax is left behind. Silicone grease may...

Oh yeah. Good stuff. Their clear low temp grease is awesome too. You can get both at NAPA and most any parts store.

Agreed Mike. Very frustrating if you never used them before and think it's your fault. With no real way to test them. Trying every little setting and thinking somewhere the magic will happen. Good thing at the same time I also bought a DISEqC 1x8. Good but bad when you absolutely need a 22 kHz...

I know. It's a little fuzzy. I grabbed another link from the ViX team. It's a bit more thorough. Committed vs uncommitted switch. Continuous tone. Committed switches get a tone burst coded with 'switch to port A,B.....A,B,C.D' and stay there as long as they get power. Uncommitted. Like I'm...

"Toneburst". That's what I was trying to remember. I got the link from tvro. Pretty good explanation and guide for setting up different scenarios. Look in section 2.3.4. No tone, port 0 of the switch is straight through it. Send a tone and port 2 turns on. Give it a shot...

Kind of ignore this and instead let Brian be the diagnostician. But read it over. It makes sense that the switch should always work on the 0 kHz port. Perhaps change the receiver settings temporarily to not use a switch for C & ku (but keep it in the circuit). And bypassing the ASC-1...

That's true. The ASC-1 does the actual polarity voltage switching. Look in its menu for LNB Type. I've found that some images don't play nice with 22 kHz switches and DISEqC switches in combination. Matter of fact I never had good luck with 22 kHz switches in combination with the ASC-1. If its...

A linux version of DLNA basically. There are a few choices for streaming to remote devices. In the webif of the receiver you can see your "bouquets", or list of satellites that you create and sort with the channels in them. When you click on stream the chosen channel then VLC launches. An...

I have two Enigma 2 receivers including the os mio4k. Both allow receiver control using any device with a web browser. With addition of a downloadable signal meter app to let you remotely tune your dish geometry. If your dish is steerable, the various interfaces actuate the dish mover too...

Well since it most probably is a Raven dish and mount. And the manuals for them illustrate the same nomenclature. Call it what it is. One hell of a lot easier than nudging the elevation on partially tightened nuts. And since your mount doesn't have the azimuth fine adjustment screw. Well, you...

I thought it was more recent than that. Like a week or 2

It completely escapes me but a member mentioned a thread for the DSR receivers. For me the occasional modes. FP, etc.??? That are enabled on these receivers may not be worth the investment. I've seen the occasional free preview pay channel weeks on my E2 receiver at times. And at times posts of...

It would be a multifaceted approach. Surely nothing as easy as an Enigma 2 receiver makes it. You use the database editor tool. Dump your channel list to a USB stick. Open it in the editor and make your changes. Then load it back into the receiver. Forums that target your receiver are European...

Perhaps the time of year for your latitude when you get sun obliteration?? Perhaps. Try this. Hit the sat that loses signal. Wait until it starts to come back. Aim west a touch to another sat. and wait. See if it fades out like clockwork. Happens 2X a year.

Ebay. Definitely. Doesn't have to be a Crydom. 3-10 or so control voltage input and DC Output load in a low voltage range. A test first would be cool. Put 5 volts on the ground and + wires. Test for + 5 VDC on 0 VDC on the output wire and ground when you block and uncover the beam. What brand of...

I don't have a V-Box but dug up a schematic for one. Seems that there are different variants. If you have an input at the pulse terminals like the attachment, it should be pretty easy. Do a voltage measurement. On my ASC-1 I use a Crydom CMX60D10 SSR. The output of it is tied to the sensor input...

Made in China strikes again! Toss the receiver in a grounded metal box. Extension cord the wall wart and toss it in there too. Got noise still? Does the Koquit-caine have a metal or plastic case? Have you tried running it on a stand-alone battery? How about with it on and the coax detatched? In...

Add + or - 90 degrees to the current ~ +25 degree skew. And yes with the wider opening of the waveguide being horizontal at 0 degrees. It is set to receive horizontal polarization. In "my" world with voltage switched lnbf. The 0 reference could either be facing straight up or straight down. So...

When it's used for DC or pulsed DC it's no longer considered shielded as you're now using the outer shield as a current carrying part of the circuit. One way of looking at it is in the audio world pros use shielded twisted pair and XLR connectors which is far superior to using RCA style coaxial...

Same. But using a Hall sensor with a high res. magnet wheel. Arc to arc drift is not so bad. Sat to sat the same. Drift will be worse looking for new sats. or "bumping" the dish to peak. The dish pivots need to be rock solid. Worn bushings will make landing on the sat. again iffy. The counter...

It's an astronomy program I use called Stellarium. It took a bit of configuring to show the Clarke Belt sats and the arc they are in. Haha, I wasn't even sure I could do it. Then dropped the screen shot into Corel for the rest of the crap. That was the easy part!
