    prodelin 1.8 focal point

    cool, would love the accurate measurement to compare. i am booming, but it would be good to be precise, especially since i want to motorize.

    sub for cband

    no cband sub then so there is no cband sub. i could get i guess the bell little dish, but i had hoped to just pull my thick rich cband to sub. oh well. thanks all, i appreciate it.

    prodelin 1.8 focal point

    motor? how much horsepower! seriously, this beast needs a car to move it. jk. actually, it is pretty smooth on the support base, but i would wonder about the skew if it were motorized. i am happy with it fixed! thanks again, anole!

    prodelin 1.8 focal point

    math helps! okay, looked over the pendragon linuxman convo, and didn't really get anything more than conjecture. linuxman's circumstances are slightly different than mine because he has the bestial support arm. i thought outside of the box...how does my channelmaster 85 work? maybe the...

    prodelin 1.8 focal point

    length of bottom support rod thanks anole. btw, congrats on your new beast. looks great. i am trying to get the precise point, and i looked at the linuxman numbers. so the ku is going to be the same for c? that was what i didn't know. i get stuff, but just want to squeeze as much out of...

    prodelin 1.8 focal point

    i looked at the schematics and geometry from the prodelin website, but it seems like the ku is what it is measured for. any thoughts on the measurements if i use c band? i am making the supports, and i think i have found the sweet spot but it is always better to be exact....

    107.3°W Anik F1R C update

    107.3°W Anik F1R C update

    Scanned the sat, i wonder if there is a more recent scan to compare tps...i probably need to skew my lnb bsc421 on my prodelin 1.8, but i want to get the TELE QUEBEC NEW or any french channels. maybe they are gone? latest lyngsat update is 07-04-18 and that is the newer! some are from 2001!

    1.8 prodelin offset lnb

    I am ready to put the cband to this beast, as I finally hoisted it up on the roof. BY Myself!!! I used ropes and pulleys, thank god i didn't break a window. it's pretty light, when all the IRON is removed. So, now on the roof, i tested for ku signals at or near the assumed focal point...

    6 foot prodelin

    reinventing? no, i became bored with the many ku on the dish. it was okay, but then i got the c, and a smaller prodelin 85 cm that let me lock the ku 97 and 101, which is all i really care about, now that i have the c beast. i got them from an auto dealer that went down. "take it down, it's...

    channel master 1.8 motor?

    i have this beast, and i want to motorize it. is it possible? it seems so sturdy! seems like a motor might just give me more problems than it is worth. or it would be so slow, i would get frustrated. any experiences?

    6 foot prodelin

    i came by a prodelin 6, but i wonder if i could create a manual rotor that is balanced on an angel, so that when it turns, it is on the clark. i was thinking of a sort of a lazy susan like turntable, that will be on a precise bias that allows me to turn it in intervals so that i can hit each...
