Lynskyn gave you good advise, however, you may also need whats called a low pass filter to block out unwanted cable signals on the channel you set the modulator to. If you don't use one, the cable signal will bleed through and cause interference. The Aska 3 Channel Modulator is avalible for...

I'm looking for a QC Report, I now have the added joy of "QC-ing" all our techs and was wondering if some other QC Guy could post a copy of their QC Reports. Thanks

RC, I bought the SATHAWK 3000 and loved the ergonomics of the unit as well as the display and case. I also liked the fact that it has field replaceable barrel as an input (i think frequent push on F fittings tear up the input). The problem I ran into was calibrating it. I found it to be to...

Well it will proably work,just check to see if there are any splitters in the line and if not hook it up and see what you get. Also if you have a wire that you know for sure is RG-6 look at the whole in the end of the fitting a RG-59 fitting and compair the two, RG-59 has a slightly smaller hole...

My first question is how old is your house?

Thanks folks for your input I have sent back the SATHAWK in favour of the BIRDOG and I hope I'm not dissapointed. I do like the egronmics of the SATHAWK much better, but it's not about good looks in the field. CISCO, the meters I'm talking about identify the signal that they are looking for...

Thanks Wobbie, That's perfect. I tweaked it to suit my needs and my Lawyer says it should hold up in court. I just want to protect my but from hungry slumlords who prey on this type of thing, you know the kind, where the sat system is the nicest part of the whole rental property...

Anybody have a waiver or something for Apartment renters to sign in lieu of landlord permission. Something that makes the tenant responsible for landlord permission and releases the installer. I did a job and the renter claimed to have permission and did not. I just want them to be able to sign...

Official standings are 2 for BD and 0 for SH, I would really like to know what features specifically make the BD better or vise versa... thanks again.

I am wondering what all of you think about which meter is better and more importantly why. "Bird dog" or "Sathawk 3000" (aka signaloc pro) I have purchased the sathawk and might return it for a bird dog. Thank you in advance for any input...

Roughly 125' from LNB to STB is acceptable. Over that and you may want to add line amps.

I just put a second man on and the equipment cost for basic tools, ladders, meter, power tools and bits ran $1785. We put all that into a 91' Chevy astro w/ ladder racks, tool bins and bulk head for $3500. Then you get to spring for commercial plates and insurance. Good insurance (2mil.) runs...

I guess the reasoning behind my original post was the sales rep told me I would be able to point a SD and see all 3 birds thru one test lead connected directly to a DP34 switch, I have yet to be able to do this. It would save about 10 min on a SD install if I didn't have to switch the lead from...

"Neither of these tools will strip off the outer foil layer. The first shield layer needs to be folded over, and the first foil layer needs to be manually removed. You can do a lesser preparation, and it will work. But, is is not the best installation." (Mike500 Quote)....Well Mike, I've made...

I use a "CABLE PREP" stripper. I've used them for years and had no problems with them at all. It has a fixed blade cartridge, so no need for adjustment. That and a Ripley Universal 6/59/7/11 loaded with Holland fittings and the whole termination process is complete in 15 seconds. We do alot of...

It's my understanding that the purpose for grounding the dish is to eliminate static electricity running on the infeeds. That being said surley the copper wire that you have that you have described as a "Messenger Wire" along with a good quality ground block will efectively remove that static...

I buy from Perfect 10, CVS and Applied Telcomm Corp (http://www.appliedtel.com/flash_index.htm) You should be able to find what you need at one of them. :yes

If you have a 522 I think you could split the rf out and run it back to a switch and then diplex it into your tv's 2nd tuner.

What puzzles me is it works through a switch on a DP500 LNB (I can see 110 & 119 thru same test lead) and it would make a SD install alot quicker... thanks...

I just got this new meter and was wondering when setting up a super dish can I hook into the DP34 switch to point the dish? Not too sure about this... Peace... :confused:

I use a lawn edger to cut a light trench and it seems to be just fine. I have had one fatality in three years (when a landscaper choped thru an infeed) peace...

Thanks...

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on calibrating a new meter. I have been installing allot of phase 3's and super dishes and have bought a "SAT HAWK 3000" and I'm having trouble calibrating it. Is there a site or a part of this site where I can find some good info on this? Thanks in...
