For 83w / AMC 9 reliable transponders for my setup are 3804 V 4167 or 3817 V 2879

If you are into classic rock KZOK HD2 is pretty good. Very few commercials. http://tunein.com/radio/KZOK-HD2-1025-s52524/

KE4EST, I just bought the servo motor. Initially for testing purposes I will use a manually switching 5vdc power supply, but yes I think I might need a ASC1. Can I download the user manual for that somewhere?

When I bought my 7.5 foot mesh dish, the original Gardiner C band feedhorn was still on it. I removed it and attached a BSC-621 LNB (works great). I put the Gardiner in storage and forgot about it until a few days ago. I took it apart to inspect the inside and to my surprise was relatively...

Not sure if this is current, Anik F2 at 111w has State of Virginia government transponders listed as NTSC.

I have a similar experience. I started with a non-motorized Ku only 1.2m dish, and now I am running a motorized 7.5' c-band setup. Just a suggestion, list your equipment in your signature block, it is always interesting to see what others are using when threads are posted.

Found this thread... most helpful information! http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/287436-Sharing-DiSEqC-1-2-Motors-and-Controllers-with-the-microHD

7.5’ mesh dish is up and running with a Bsc 621 C/Ku LNB. I am receiving great signals from across the arc, however I am controlling the motor manually with a homemade positioner made with a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) toggle switch and an old 18VDC laptop power supply (see pics). The dish...

Thanks for the manual, clear and easy to read! String test, stretch two pieces of string across the diameter of the dish?

Very helpfulinformation, thanks. To center the LNB to the center of the dish, maybeuse some sort of laser pointer(s) gently taped to the inside throat of LNB? If I need tocalculate focal length I can use f= D²/16d (D=diameter, d=depth). The JPG of themanual I have is difficult to read, but from...

Setting up 7.5 mesh dish with BSC-621 combo LNB. The dish will be non-motorized and fixed on one bird until I find the optimal focal point and fine tune the position of the LNB. Probably use 97w to test with? After the pole is installed, I will place the mount on the pole and calculate...

Heating bolts with a small propane is what I'm planning. The parabolic mesh with support framework is the prime target, however I can not help wonder if the motor actuator arm is salvageable after so many years of inactivity.

I came across an old abandoned 8 (maybe 10?) foot mesh dish from a family friend that heard I was looking for one. This dish has been passed on from one home owner to the next over the years, never used except for the original home owner in the early 1990’s. The dish is free; all I have to do is...

If you are referring to the PBS channels, they are occasionaly intermittent for me as well. Maybe they are switching programs between TP's?

I was hoping that was not going to be an issue, but apparently it is. So the lesson here is that I can pick up some c-band with the 90cm but not not all are receivable when locked on a single bird. Thanks, I will wait until spring thaw to implement a larger dish. Pi

Using a GeoSatpro microHD (from Satellite AV) with a Sat621 C\Ku LNB on a 90cm dish, near Madison, WI. I’m picking up several C-band TP’s on 87w and 91w. I was hoping for 3720/H/28800 on 91w and 3920/H/29125 on 87w (as seen on Lyngsat) but not getting them. Do those particular TP’s still...

Thanks for the info, very helpful! Pi

I purchased a universal C\Ku band LNB (BSC621-2D) with scalar to experiment with C-band, however it did not come with a dielectric plate. My understanding is that it is used to convert linear polarized signals to circularly polarized signals. This LNB will be installed on a non-motorized 90cm...
