    Corrotor II Plus ?

    Some of the older Pansats would do skew on a CoRotor and operate a 22 khz switch . Do not know if yours will ? God bless Wyr

    LNB/feedhorn Skew

    43 degrees is pretty close to 45 degrees , which you can probably approximate by eyeball . Once you get a signal , you can tweak the skew . If you do not get it on one LNB , power down the receiver , switch to the other LNB , power up the receiver & try again . Or just blind...

    What happens if I use a 39" dish for C Band?

    A year or two ago & tried a C band feed horn & LNB on a 36" Ku band dish . Analog , a couple channels pretty strong , the rest went down in strength . I scrounged a 10' Dish and played with it for a while . I no longer use it , back to Ku . Wyr

    How do I upgrade my old big dish?

    You are going to need to use the GI receiver as master ( move the dish & control polarity ) and the DVB receiver as a slave . Since you have C & Ku band on the big dish , get two splitter , each has one port that passes DC ( the GI receiver ) , the other port does not pass DC ( the DVB...

    Actuator Limit

    First , make sure all the wires , connections are tight & secure . Be careful if you adjust the factory limit switches , if you go too far , you may strip something . Do not go so far with the dish , that it " flops over " . Tripple check the software limits in the...

    Size of holes in perforated alu dish

    You do not have to perforate the sheet metal . I think less than 1/4" if you wish to do Ku band ? Think you can also use fine mesh hail screen / hardware cloth ? Wyr

    Uses for analog receiver?

    Be sure the splitters block the DC power from one receiver or the other , depending on which is master & which is slave . Wyr

    Analog Receiver

    http://www.lyngsat.com/amc9.html TP ( channel ) 4 , 8 , 14 & 20 are shown to be analog , but they are feeds . They will not be on 24 hours a day . You may catch them and you may not . If your KU is a LNBF , you may have the same polarity issues I discussed previously . Wyr

    Analog Receiver

    OK , does it have an arrow that shows what should be " up " ? Your longitude is about 82 degrees ? OK , go to http://lyngsat.com/america.html Your due south sat would be Nimoq 2 82 or AMC 9 83 . Bot are KU , which does not help you . The Brazilsats are C band , but...

    Analog Receiver

    OK , what is your due south sat ? Which should be the easiest to find , if it has active C Band transponders . Are you using a LNBF ( 13 - 18 VDC polarity switching ? Or a LNB with the little polorotor ? Wyr

    Despite what many say , an inexpensive signal meter really helps in sat hunting ( aiming the dish ) . So does an analog receiver , that is why I asked . Wyr

    Got BUD today!

    Many sats are only 2 degrees apart . I have been told , all things being equal , the bigger the dish , the " sharper the focus " . The dish can " look " at one sat and not pick up the sat to the east and the west of it ( which would cause interfierence ) . But , I say go for it ...

    All about Birdview and Dish Hunting

    I think your Birdview kas a Feedhorn with a H and a V feed . Your receiver may be OK with this . Your receiver may not be able to deal with the electrical sensor that keeps track of the position of the dish . You will most likely have to do some field engineereing to use it for...
