I am a proud Bud owner since Katrina, my friends ACTIVE dish was knocked over - the pole bent and ripped lose from the house so he asked me if I wanted to the dish and equipment. I said SURE!! I always wanted a big dish since I was a kid, searching the skies for open signals is tons of fun and can keep me occupied for hours on end.
So Tron is and has been a long time very close friend and is more like family then a friend but he came over the other night after I had this dish sitting on the ground for 2 some odd years trying to figure out how the heck I am going to get it up on top that 15 foot tall pole I cemented 6 foot into the ground!!! Whoops.. Few days ago five of my Son's friends came over and insisted them can pick it up and raise it onto the pole so I said YEAH LETS SEE THAT LOL!! They proved me wrong, all the physics told me never lol.. Anyway I immediately get on the Phone with Jimmy (Tron) and begged hios answering machine many o times to get over here and help me point this sucker, I have no clue what so ever!! Well we got it pointed, we got tons of stuff and I moved it the other night and found even more cool stuff.
Now to get to the point... I have a dish mover that is going on the blink, the motor works great, the gear that hits the limit switches slipped and fell off, the board with the switches had several broken solder joints, being a Technician I am, I went up the ladder and repaired the board but the problems still plague me. If I hook up my dish mover PROSAT 210 correctly, the dish wont move, if I hook the little brown wire up and leave the ground and blue lose and use the red and black, I can drive the motor using the east button but to move it west I have to physically reverse the polarity of the red and black wire. Any ideas???

Welcome to Satelliteguys KevinAPB!!
We like Tron, Stogie, and Gabshere. They are all from down your way, though Gabshere is just a few miles north of you. Edit: I forgot Swampman. He's from down your way too. See him about a Birdview dish. But not unless you want to be spoiled forever. He know where a ton are.
And as for you my lizard loving friend,
My readers here expect a little more!

ROFL! This thread is funny as hell. Welcome to the forum, Kevin!
I don't frequent the C-Band sub-forum too much, since my Paraclipse is still grounded, but your success with that dish is really beginning to inspire me
I thought that was a Von Weise actuator. I have one that is frozen, but you might be able to salvage some parts from it to fix yours. Give me a call tomorrow (AFTER 4:00 p.m.) The actuator from the Paraclipse is also a Von Weise, and it is in superb condition. As you know, I've got two GI analog receivers coming my way (a 450i and a 550i, both will run an actuator), so we'll be able to do some better things soon.
If you can't hit 97w through the trees with your BUD, stick a Ku dish up in the middle of the yard. You won't regret it...
Don't forget Digiblur (uplink reports staff) and Rdel, both from Southeast Louisiana!

Kevin has G-25 Ku! Went there tonight and helped him aim. He's got a tree partially blocking it though, I think. Somewhat weak on certain transponders for a BUD.
I suggest a fixed 1M Ku dish, we're picking one up (hopefully) tomorrow...

Again you were right, although we were successful in hitting 97W last night, when the wind started blowing I started losing it and was I bummed. I stayed awake most of the night watching my bud move a little which helped me understand better where to weld the support arms and 4 legs. 97W has to go so TODAY when I come and pick you up, most likely wake you up I will just read this to ya lol.. Seriously though, I am moving back to 58W for now, I was having TONS OF FUN THERE!
See ya today Jim, lets get that dish down carefully and i will take you to go and get that Polar Mount if you want it. I already knocked on their door yesterday..

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot
New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com
The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.
It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.
