channel master dish

[Apprentice]

Well found another dish that was going to be scraped. Just could not let that happen. This one is a channel master mold number 1.0-2.

Thought for free it would make a good additional dish. I now have way too many. 6 74e dishes and one 84e. Also one 0.9 channel master. At this rate u can do fixed dishes on all KU says. Lol ok maybe not but still very nice.

very nice dish
Did the non penetrating roof mount come with it?

 

[Apprentice]

Yup he was just going to haul it all off. Mount and all so I just figured I would take it off his hands

 

[Mr Tony]

lucky

Someone stated in another thread a while back that finding dishes in the wild was half the fun. I would have to a agree. however at what point do you stop looking lol

 

[turbosat]

!Never. Once you start-you can't stop , you see them when you aren't even looking.
Nice 1m that time, one of them I use for main dish, and I have one of those .90 CM for motorized.

 

[Apprentice]

what motor did you use for the .90 dish. I would be interested in setting up the one i have on a motor. I would have guessed that it would be too heavy?

I use a STAB HH120 for my Channel Master 1.0 meter......used stock mount w/PVC shim. Works great.

The factory hardware is pretty heavy.
Search back through the forum for a couple of threads putting Primestars on SG2100 motors.
Not that I would, ... but the mount-mod ideas are wild 'n wonderful!

Sweet find, Apprentice! Non-pen roof mount and all...

Bolt a Superdish FSS LNB onto the feedhorn and you'll be happy ...

That's a fairly "new" DTN dish, (I think.) The Channel Master (formerly used for DTN) I got a few weeks back was replaced BY that model, with DTN changing satellites that they serve-up their weather service-on. They didn't want the smaller Channel Master sent back, but took back only the LNB. I can see DTN not wanting to pay to return dishes, but..WOW! I plan to put mine on a frequently-used Ku satellite to avoid having to move the Birdview and give me quick access.
