I have a Unimesh 10 footer and I was able to toss the dish up on the mount by myself, I don't think I'd try that with a 12 footer tho....

Also the GT media receiver will power the LNBs as long as they're hooked to the gt media receiver directly or through a Disecq/22khz switch, you'll want to use the analog receiver as a stand alone just hooked to the actuator/co rotor. The Primesat box will also pass thru power/signal to the LNBs...

Yeah you can run your C and Ku feeds into a Disecq switch or 22khz switch and set up the receiver to switch the switch. Those primesat movers don't have a polarity switcher for the co rotor. So you'll need your analog receiver to do that. I'd just use the analog receiver to move the dish and...

M6 x 1.0..... I got it up and kinda just eyeball'd azimuth, elevation and declination left as is. Got 101w pretty easy. My coax cables are barely long enough so I'm not trying anything too far east or west. Good enough for now. If the suspension work on the Subaru goes OK then I might optimize...

Anyone know what size the threads are on the scalar ring that comes with the Titanium LNBFs? Seems like M6 x something..... I put the reflector together tonight but ran outta daylight. The chaparral feed that came with this is part of the scalar ring and I plan on using the LNBF. I did get the...

Prolly shoulda, but i didn't wanna spoil Sunday dinner

Been a while, but I found a 10 footer on my local CL last week. Took a trip to the east mountains (ABQ) yesterday to dismantle/pick up. Thankfully my Tommy Gate on the truck waited until I got home to crap the bed 😂 the dish came with a Chaparral corotor setup and echostar lnb and I tested the...

Thats pretty sick. It got darker here (Albuquerque) than I thought it would, but it didn't get very dark during the one back in October either (and we were right under it!)

Don't give up! This one is tricky. Ironically I finally got it when I motorized my 90cm dish.

It seems to work as good as the 8.5 spun dish despite being smaller. Still got a little tweaking to do but this one is a keeper. Not worried about the 5G cuz it’s behind a house with a pro panel roof

I have it most of the way up. That nice light reflector was easy to toss on the mount by myself. That bit of metal in the center is a burned out “NO DUMPING” sign i pilfered out of the recycle pile at work, the paint on it is drying now……

The 90cm dish came with a 7.5 ft Winegard mesh dish lol. Somebody junked their FTA setup and I grabbed it.

I transplanted that sg 2100 to my 90cm Geosat and it works great for being on a wobbly crooked pole lol, and I tested that actuator that came with the mesh dish and it works great! Looks to have a hall sensor and a limit switch. I don’t know about the polorotor feed, my vbox doesn’t have...

Found this and 90cm dish with an SG-2100 on it “free for scrap” on CL. The mount says Winegard, feed cover says KTI, has a nice Chaparral feed/rotor with C and Ku LNBs, actuator is present, but I think I’m missing a plate that goes in the middle of the 4 sections of dish

Necro thread alert! I have been enjoying this dish for over 2 years, I did get a vbox to move it but my actuator is crude with its 3 magnets on the main wheel, reed switch, and NO limit switches. Let’s just say it loses counts. Anyways a few weeks ago I decided to move it to the east to make...

I’d hate to get a new one and the counts be off. Mine doesn’t hold a count but it has 3 magnets and a reed switch, “good enough” for analog I guess. It’s a big beefy actuator and works well otherwise

Still can’t get it as of last night, but I had some disecq switch/coax trouble that I fixed

I couldn’t get it last weekend, but I’ve been tweaking the dish. I get everything else just fine, including Decades (a touchy one for me) Gonna check when I get home. 8.5 footer here

I’m still skeptical about mm waves being harmful, especially with the low power they intend on running them at. My horizontal loop for HF is probably more dangerous than any 5g and I haven’t fried any birdies or BBQ’d any cats yet

Did mine with some leftover 1 1/2 sch 40 Cantex PVC conduit from when I ran power to the shed, I put plastic weather heads on em cuz it fills with rainwater otherwise. So far it fits one rg6, a pair of 14 awg stranded wire, and a shielded 18-4 cable. Should have room for another rg6. I also have...

8 port Disecq, some dishes hooked up, some not. The LNBF on the 8.5 footer has two outs, might be useful if I wanna play with a DCR box. I may also get a second receiver for high def TVs and leave the Amiko for my vintage ones. If I ever get a mover box things might get interesting.......

Yeah I’ve been running my C2-PLL bareback all summer long, I haven’t noticed any problems though I’m at work during the hottest part of the day

Neat! Maybe I’ll have someone come paint mine………

Breddy gud! I’m probably too far west I can’t get 87w, but I get 127w and 107 is zenith for me

Not sure about that button…… I’m in the market for a dish mover. Where did you get the pr1200? R!ck’s?
