Hello All,

I don't write much but I read the FTA forums here almost everyday and boy I have learned so much and I thank you all for that.

Well as I stated a few months ago I got an Alcoa solid 8' dish and I am getting ready to install it.

I have done many C band dishes for broadcast stations (99% AMC8) but they are all fixed and have only 1 cable running to it.

Question 1:
This one will have an actuator so how does the skew work on a C band dish?
BTW:I will be using a BSC621.

I have a 1.0m KU with a SG2100 that works great but not sure on the BUD how the skew works.

Question 2:
What is a good source for the multi cable?

I checked the company's I deal with (Tessco and Primus) but no one has anything like it in one bundle.

Thanks.

Same as a Little Ku dish, the movement of the Dish automatically takes cars of the Skew. You have to install it correctly first.

Question 2:

No need, really. I used Outdoor Speaker wire for the Motor, and sprinkler wire for the Reed Switch (pulse counter)
But if you want real ribbon cable, just Google it....
