    Chaparral feedhorn cup diameter?

    I use a hockey puck cut down on a lathe to fit the inside of the scaler ring, careful though I have non Chaparral Lnb's and there diameter is different, not a standard inside measurement, with a 1/4 inch center hole drilled in puck on the lathe as well and a straight fiberglass tent pole section...

    When To Adjust Declination on a Bud Mesh Dish?

    Cheap V-BOX III Contacts: One other thing I'd like to mention is I have never seen such CHEAP SPRING LOADED CONTACTS that are on the back of my V-BOX III. I have twice lost the spring in 2 of the contacts and spent a couple of hours trying to to get the springs back in these extremely poorly...

    Adding a C band dish to my FTA

    V-box III's move the actuator using the DiSEqC 1.2 commands in the satellite box's menu usually under motor control , I don't think any of the v-boxes use the USALS commands to move the BUD actuator however there are small BUD type actuators that use the usals commands to move a smaller dish...

    How critical is a dish focal length

    Your true south setting is off very slightly, 1/16 inch of pipe diameter is a very large move. Very little steps to fine tune. Best tune for me was to align the true south satellite and tune in a Ku digital channel at .3 degree's off of true south and set dish at .3 degrees off with actuator...

    How critical is a dish focal length

    Setting focal point This may have nothing to do with anything, my newly received Orbitron manual places the focal point for my SX-12 dish at 50 and 1/8th inch, measured from the dish surface to the scaler ring face and F/D ratio of .36. The dish formula places the focal point of this same dish...

    Looking for Orbitron mount instructions

    Declination For this type mount, the declination is supposed to be a painted mark on the mount ring pipe, now long gone to the degree tape on the mount pipe. The declination is right when the dish points lower than the mount, which would place the longer 16 inch measurement to the top when all...

    Orbitron Yes the 12 footer was motorized at previous location, the 6 ft Andrews is a prime focus dish from the old cable company, the Orbitron came with an 18 inch lite duty Von-Wiese and I upgraded to a 24 heavy duty, when I took it out I marked it but it was not assembled properly at previous...

    Looking for Orbitron mount instructions

    The original setup manual would be nice as there is no marks on this thing except for the measurements I've taken. The mount came to me with the 16 inch side up and really didn't work worth a crap. Just to know for sure which measurement is to go to the top, 14 or 16 inch as the 15 inch...

    Skew control

    Ok from diagram the c-band splits to both box's, where do the skew control wires go to analog reciever or digital reciever or to both boxes, into pansat and back out to the GI 4730a so that both can control the servo on the corotor as needed to get a picture on both even and odd transponders or...
