youd only get one polarity at a time without some form of switching. the ops setup is pretty basic and it seems as tho the op has all the proper gear. as stated above the multiswitch mod would only be required if not using the power inserter. the mod is simple enuff and pictures can be found...

i only run one ku ortho and two cband orthos. all my other dishes have c2's or dmx522's. right now i only have 11 feeds operational but someday ill build my monster farm. switches will consist of a diseqc 8x1 fed by 4 diseqc 4x1s which in turn will be fed by 4x8s. nothing spectacular and most...

the 12 footers polar mount is already set up with bearing and grease nips. its in 9.5 / 10 condition. the black 10 footer was a rusty beast. ive never seen a dish like it. it only split in half and is made of small 1/2 inch square tubing. it could be a home built but who knows. the feed support...

well the plan is to eventually end up ware my fiance lives. its a 12 acre yard on 150 acres directly adjacent to town. then i want to have one stationary BUD for each sat. just to say i did. haha. and if that dont happen... i have tons of spare dish parts or i might even part with one for a...

it breaks down to 10 panels. and yes there are 5 feed legs. i got a 12 foot like it last summer but it was black and had some damage to the mesh. this one is mint. i forgot to mention the 10 foot dish thats next door to these two. i hope to get it too. haha. crackt out,.

ive taken down enuff BUDs now that i can be a little more selective when adding dishes to my collection. here is a super score i found in the local bargain rag. the first is a 10 footer that i didnt have one of yet. if anyone can identify it thatd be cool. it has some slight damage to the rim...

i used to run vertical at 13v. since i got a signal i thought good enuff. i was recabling a bit and finally gave vertical 18v. before the voltage increase i had all kinds of problems with the s2 cw's at 72. now they lock easy and stay locked. just 2 more cents to ponder. crackt out,.

i was gonna attempt that dish this weekend doug but i didnt have yours or your buddies contact info. now the weekend is half over. crackt out,.

if its 4 sats to 2 recievers then google for an emp centauri 4 x 2. crackt out,.

the feed at the highest point of dish travel will have one lnb vertical and one lnb horizontal. crackt out,.

ive always supected that scalars should be made to match the dish they are installed on. one of the first dishes i scored was a huge 10 foot 8 piece aluminum dish. its scalar always baffled me. it was simply huge. probly 3 inches more in diameter than anything i have seen in the other 17 dishes...

One other thing to think of is lnb skew. i fought an old starchoice dish last weekend for 2 hours only to find the lnb was 90 degrees off. ie. vertical was horizontal and vice versa. had it peaked 5 minutes later. arggh. crackt out,.

why would you want to slave it? why not use a dual lnbf or lnbf/multiswitch? crackt out,.

dishpointer also calculates line of site for obstacles. theres a check box for it. crackt out,.

if you need any specific help feel free to send me a pm. i have 7 of those dishes. for the most part id keep the actuator on the side that youll take the dish lowest. crackt out,.

on my 10 footers ive had to modify the mounts to get more travel. id say they do about 34 degrees to about 145. actuators on the west side. i had to add approximately 1 foot extensions to the mount ware the actuator attaches. this extension moves the actuator to the west and allows for alot more...

the slack is developed when rust shale cuts the threads out of the nylon acme nut inside the arm. an actuator with 5 minutes use that has been parked in the rain for 10 or so years would probly last a month. any longer is luck. all used actuators should be overhauled and the threads polished and...

most hh ku motors have a euro sat table preprogrammed. usually its 26 positions i think. if you program your vbox with the same position numbers, both movers will have a position 1 for example. if you use usals to move the hh it will still get a call for position 1 when it is called for the vbox...

one thing to consider. alot of ku hh motors have a built in diseqc 1.2 sat table. becuz of this you should program your vbox using diseqc 1.2 positions beginning around 30. some recievers can make this difficult. if you dont do this both dishes will move when a common position is referenced...

i remember that merkin. maybe ill swap a 4d reciever for a blsa. sound good? haha. crackt out,.

they are toys for hobbyists. worth what you can get someone to pay. ive got about 20 now and ive only paid for 2. 25 bucks for a ten foot and 50 bucks for a 12 foot. the rest i got simply for taking them down. buy a solemend a chase some signals yourself. crackt out,.

im probly the person who suggested to start at p30 and go up for cband positions. it only becomes important when using a vbox and an hh ku motor that contains a built in sat table. if you follow my advice then only the proper dish will move as desired instead of both dishes moving. crackt out,.

The gbox seems to be twice as accurate (counts 2 pulses vs. 1 pulse) than other diseqc 1.2 positioners. A good thing to know if you plan on using that BUD for ku. crackt out,.

Did you try to set it as universal with an lof of 9750 / 10600. This is the correct setting for the (U)niversal version of the 741. 10750 - 10600 gives an offset of 150 mhz like you experienced. Of course you could always lock it to the high band by turning 22khz on and using an lof of 10600. I...
