    Corotor II dual on Ebay

    What difference does it make how old the corotor is? They are premium equipment. If you knew so much you wouldn,t call them junk or crap. If you think they are junk or crap it shows that you still need to learn!!! Maybe you just do not know how to set up one!!!!

    Is there any particular reason you want one of these receivers? I was using one of these toshiba receivers which was an excelent dish mover till it failed. Replaced it with a General instrument GI 650I which works well.

    Scavenged C-band items

    The general instrument 450-I receiver he moves the dish with can also adjust the polarity motor. I used the 650-I for many years doing it this way. Also used a 4dtv receiver to do this also. It can be done but using a lnbf is a little simpler to use. I presently use a CAL-AMP c-band lnbf...

    8ft SAMI Re-homed! Pulling in FTA on 43w-133w

    I guess you can get away with only 4.5 inch of concrete in Arkansas! Must not get frost in your area. In Northwest pa the ground can freeze down to 2 feet. I would be afraid of the frost heaving here in Pa. You did good. Your Sami dish looks in nice shape.
