Big Dish Boneyard

[Anole]

Ka? Today!

Also, in the Patriot line, they have KA-Band lnb's.
I want one of these so bad, I can't stand it.
Would love to see what I could get with one...??

Well, there are tons of Ka band LNBf's around for free.
You may just not like the dish and horn they are on.
Why not open up a new thread and let's get some discussion going?
Many new DirecTV dishes are being scrapped out with Ka on them...

Great haul there linuxman!!!!! I think you'll like those GI 650's, I love mine. and I bet you'll find that norsat 1.5KU will work just fine too. Hopefully I can start searching for 'satellite flea-market' sales again soon, I love riding around and finding stuff like that. I know where a 7' black mesh is now, with motor,but the dish is shot, panels busted out, bent, etc but I'd take it down just for the motor if they will give it all to me. I'll try to see about that setup soon.

Hey Turbosat,

Good to see you posting again. I hope to try out one of the 650s with the DSR-905 soon and see what they are made of.

Nicely done! That looks a bit like the collection I have from years of scavanging........only bigger!

Thanks Inno!

If I don't get some of this stuff cleaned out of the repair room, I am not going to be able to get around in it any more.

happenings in the mid-west

Hello Fred,
This post is on the "Big Dish Boneyard" is of a different subject then what was first thought of when you wrote it. Then again it is the same and a whole lot more. I have been thinking of you knowing that you live just west of St. Louis. With all the rain and the flooding that has been happening in the mid-west you have come into my mind and I pray all is OK with you. I pray that the flooding hasn't affected you in your living conditions. However near you are people who have lost everything. I pray for them as well. With all of their possessions being water damaged makes for a large boneyard.

Also I don’t believe that I’m the only one that has been thinking and praying that you are ok. You have lots of friends here. Lets us know of your status.

If there are other members here that live near all of this flooding in the mid-west, lets us know of your status too.

Tom

Thanks Thomas for your thoughts and prayers.

I started a thread here that describes the situation.
