    reed sensor or magnet wheel

    So last night I was scanning the arc with my fortec mercury II with G-box and noticed my counts are off from what they were. I had noticed this with the coolsat over the past week but now its way off. Is it odd to only go to like -480 on the east to 200 on the west? This tells me my arm isn't...

    lnb and dish setup

    I need to tweak my f/d as well. Unfortunately I busted the set screw mount from the scalar ring on my c2. I was able to epoxy it back in place. I also glued the feed horn in place at according to where my chaparal feed horn stuck out. Anyway my thought was I can adjust the distance by using...

    lnb and dish setup

    I am not sure which 10ft dish you have but perhaps your calculations are off. If you have the Geosatpro C2 lnbf then make sure it is rotated 90deg. so that the 0 mark is facing 9 or 3 o' clock when mounted in the scalar ring. Here is a list of dish specs that might help you with your f/d settings.

    Geosatpro C2 f/d ratio, focal length ?

    I am in the process of setting up my c-band dish (7ft unimesh) and have a question about this lnbf. When setting the f/d ratio which surface do you go by to line up with the scale on the side? I assumed you go by the back edge where the set screw is. When setting the focal length do you go...

    Actuator, Gbox, limits question

    I see you are from chicago so that would mean my arm should point to the east as well(standing behind the dish) because I am in central indy. I guess I had it backwards as I thought the arm should point to the west and fully retracted the dish would be pointing towards the west coast as well...

    Actuator, Gbox, limits question

    I am about to setup my BUD for the first time and I am concerned on how to adjust the actuator arm. The actuator in question is a Superjack + HQ though I don't know if it is an 18 or 24 inch length but it came with a 7.5ft. unimesh. My question is how do I know where to set the arm all the way...

    GI 922 or 920 Unit ID corruption

    How can one tell definitively if a 922 or 920 has a bad unit ID#? I got one and the unit ID does not match what is on the back of the receiver. I thought they had to match and all started with triple zeros? in the menu mine starts out with 81-40D5 the label on the back of my unit starts...

    Free Bud

    I just got a free 7ft dish on saturday. The easiest way to take it down is first loosen the bolts holding the mount on the pole. once its free you will need another person to lift up and off the pole. After that dig around the pole until you see concrete, get a rope, chain etc. and hook it to...
