Thanks truckracer for your input, think I might actually use the 7.5ft I have for strickly Ku. For moving the dishes I have a Uniden UST710 controller? I have used this box for many years prior to switching to a programmable c band reciever. The UST710 is strickly a manually activated control...

Thanks for the responce. For dishes I have a 10ft winegard, 12ft conifer, unimesh 10ft, haul-tronics 10ft (this is the one that seems deeper then the others) 7.5ft "country tv", not sure who actually made it. In addition I have numerous actuators including a couple of 36in von wiese most are...

Using a 10ft mesh, all other things being equal, which is would be preferred for c/ku combo, a shallow, or a deep dish. I understand the deep dish will require more acurate aiming but are there any other pros or cons to either one. My dish hunting has produces 3 10fts 1 appears to be much deeper...

Hey guys, Again its been awhile....Have been busy...also have picked up a few more dishes...older bent 10fts but have srounged actuators and feed horns from them...hauled all of them (3 junk 1 good one with working reciever and a 20ft pipe for nothing).. I remember awhile back someone looking...

I too have thought about the multi dish idea...I have several BUDS and access to others ...scrounging here has been good...was thinking last night while working that a multi dish set up if for no other reason has a COOL FACTER un equalled by much....I was looking at the local cable system...

Yuuuup....things to consider, I remember seeing an advertisment or something from Mike at Global ? That he called the "the hill-billy cable system"...I liked that concept...as I said before economy is a goal but not really a requirement. Ill just let this thing take me where it wants to for awhile.

gabspere, Yes this would be my second dish, connected to the same receiver ( pansat) have a plan to use the dicsque for the polarity/dish selection and a homemade multi pole switch for choosing between actuators. Part of that plan considered using one dish for east one for west as you mentioned...

I can see why you guys say its an addiction...I havent had time to work on it the last couple of days, ..something about making hay when the sun shines...think Ive been having withdrawls already...and..Im shopping for a spot on this 80acres to plant a 12ft. Trouble is trees on the horizon have...

Well I recieved and installed my Pansat 2700a over the last couple of days. Used my exsisting 10ft echostar that has fairly bad hail damage, a Echostar 40deg LNB C band only and the exsisting actuator. I tryed to slave a Country and Town reciever, that was a partical success but not totally able...

The first dish line will be a 10 ft Echostar mesh with a echostar lnb 950ib at 40deg K. mounted on a fixed Chaparrel feed horn. I know thats hign noise for digital but it is already on the dish and it worked fantasticly for analog. This dish will be moved buy a super jack. Some of the other...

Just got confirmation that the FTA should be delivered UPS today...grass mowing and such stuff will have to wait now...I have Sat work to do!!!.....Having ordered and now getting ready to install makes me feel more like a true member...Yes Anole, I took the hint...pictures to follow once I get...

Well guys I made the jump, as I promised myself, I decided to order a FTA today. Closed my eyes, picked a dealer and ordered a Pansat 2700a. Decided to stay with that choice because I have several Lnbs that require a servo drive. I figured on trying whatever I have and add to or replace items...

Truckracer: from what I know I agree 2700a is more like a maybe a 65 Chevy Impala.....when would I actually have to worry about using the data connections anyway, Im not sure I really understand that part other than if the thing crashed somehow and I lost the channels stored in memory right...

Kgbhdg: yes I know about Vbox, that however fall under "economy as a goal heading" once I get a good start into his Fta thing maybe worth considering but for now I would even consider what ive seen as "getto moving" ... as for the reciever...I do think I want a blind scan but as I just posted by...

Iceberg: Yes in fact I am just 15mi south of Hayward( Stone Lake to be exact) I gathered from some of your posts that you were either Duluth or Twin Cities. YES to the news being refreshing I had a brother living overseas for about 18 yrs, just the little I learned about the world through him...

Thanks for the replies, Anole, I do have several feed horn/ corotor combos to chose from and I have a couple single output electronic controlled, right of the top of my head I dont recall brands or qualities. For moving the dish I planned to us analog as "last resort" only because im down to one...

Hey guys! I'm finally ready to buy a Fta reciever I plan to connect to one of several BUDs I have now. (8, 10 or 12ft) I have several Lnbs to choose from and have an older Uniden postioner. I also have a Country TV? C band reciever that works well. Question is: I had been leaning to the Pansat...
