DSR922

[sudimages]

Do you think a DSR922 without new maps but with new battery would be enough to move my bud if I use it only as a dish mover.I think I only need the old sat tiles like my last and dead 922?
I am not interested in sub .I just do FTA but not against free DC2

It all just depends on what you mean by "without new maps". If you still have the old maps (around 66 or so tiles), then yes, that 922 would be plenty for moving the dish around. However, if all you have is what's left after a master reset... then it could be a little skimpy. After a MR, you're looking at around 21 or so tiles. That might be enough, and it might not.

If the UID is still in tact (along with that new battery), then I would consider new maps. Personally, I use a 922 with new maps that I modified myself with a scheme that I always wanted to see in the 4DTV. Between work that the Map Master Restore put in, plus my own little touch... I'm pretty happy with it. A lot happier than if I was still using the old big M maps.

Cheers

They've been pretty pricey lately.
If all you need is a mover, why not just a V-Box ?
Link is to ebay, be aware, there's been bad reviews here for leomall. Proceed at you own caution.

 

[sudimages]

The bud is only 22 feet!

 

[FaT Air]

Only 22 ft across?? What kind of actuator? Motor rating? think the v-box will match any Old School IRD or DCII receiver motor power.
Boy, how about some pictures??

 

[Anony55]

LOL, 22 feet... maybe that's how far it is from the house. If it's the diameter of the dish, how 'bout some pictures?

Cheers

How dead is your old 922,might not be that difficult to get it going again.

 

[trinidex]

Looks like the OP is in Martinique, hence why the dish is 22ft, presumably a mesh beasty.

If you can, provide more details on how dead your DSR is, with the knowledge here, we may be able to help you fix it, or point you in the right direction.

Otherwise consider a dish mover.

All valid suggestions and we're here, happy, to help.

The bud is cband only mesh with some scratches from hurricanes.Ill post pictures as soon as possible.
Mydsr922 is at ATS .Tom told me the AVI chip on main board has to be changed but they cant.I left the unit since it was too expensive to ship it back to Martinique.I still have one wich doesnot power.Does somedy want to fix it?

The Avi chip? Ouch!

Is it worth sending the board of your other unit to ATS for a transplant?

 

[sudimages]

Thanks Trinidex but I dont know if the main board on my 2 remaining units are still working.I am trying to add pictures from my iPad .

BEAUTIFUL Dish! (And scenery) HtoH no less. (Ya think I could fit it in my luggage?) I'm sure a V-Box will move it for you. Motor appears to be a standard 24 to 36 volt actuator motor/gearbox assembly. If it's higher voltage, which I doubt, there are solutions.
Only problem is, that I see, is you were using the DCII to operate the polarity servo. There's solutions for that also.

To move the dish in the meantime:
(The lamp is only necessary if you want to 'see' it moving)

 

[sudimages]

You are right it is H-to-H (10W to 135W) Motor gearbox 36v
I got info on VBox10.I have diseq on my geosat micro.All I need is to replace my 1993 standard LNB by an LNBF (BSC421?) and forget DSR922 ?
Thanks for your help.I am not at all technician and afraid of the other solution!

All I need is to replace my 1993 standard LNB by an LNBF (BSC421?) and forget DSR922 ?

That would be 'the ticket'.
Option: For 'ULTIMATE' performance, an Ortho(mode) feed horn with 2 LNB's, or 2 C band and 2 Ku. (both requires a modified multiswitch)
C band; www.chaparral.net/feed-horns/dual-feed/
C & Ku: www.chaparral.net/feed-horns/bullseye-2/
Can be found at some FTA satellite dealers and on -bay occasionally.

 

[sudimages]

Chaparral dual feed seems the best choice eliminating disecq problems.I can't get Ku with my mesh.But I have no experience on multiswitch.
