    Is 99W Galaxy 16 up and running?

    I tried this and it made so difference. Finally I moved the dish with the actuator until I was somewhere between 97 and 101 (not showing any signal from either that is) and in spite of not showing a lock on 99, I blinded scanned it anyway. Mysteriously, I got the channels from 99. I still don't...

    Is 99W Galaxy 16 up and running?

    I set up a dish for a friend today. Got on the TS sat with no problem. Moved west and got 97W and 101W without problems but no lock on 99W. Quality meter bounces from 14 to 38. TIA

    Chaparral Corotor

    I have three receivers that will run it. Problem is, they are not where I am presently. I am a glutton for punishment? Do you have a C/Ku ortho feed you wish to donate? I would be a very happy camper if I could find one. For this dish, C band ortho was planned. I have the original C band only...

    Chaparral Corotor

    The vintage guesstimate was another member's due to the noise temp number which I do not remember. Good news on the Norsats. I have a couple of 8515's around here somewhere.

    Chaparral Corotor

    I am rehabbing/updating a corotor. The c band LNB is somewhere around 1983 vintage and someone has marked "bad" on the Ku LNB. I don't have either of them with me so I can't tell you what they are. I would like your recommendations for suitable replacement LNBs. Also, the blue box control, is...

    I don't plan on spending much time there. Its my TS sat and was wondering if something was there. Several months ago, 6 maybe, I tried it and zip, nada. Glad to know there is something there now before I waste a bunch of time with it. Thanks again.

    10ft BUD - Removal by Myself - Can it Be Done

    If power is available to ya, grind the bolt or nuts off. Alternatively, if you can get a pair of vice grips on either the bolt head or nut, then jam or bind the grips with something (wire) and wrench on the other. Good luck.

    How did I get into THIS mess?!

    Stogie, Thanks. The dimensions gives me something to go from. The bushing length should be should be controlled by the length of the shoulder on the bolt that passes through the bushing, minus the thickness of the back frame. I think. Anyway there is enough lengthwise, of the old bushing to get...
