Finally!

Finally got the 10 foot Unimesh on the pole last night with the help of some of the guys at my Ultralight flyers meeting.
Now all I have to do is get it aligned. I got my new VboxV also and found it's a neat piece of equipment: change sats and the dish moves to the selected sat!

Congratulations...! I hope to have mine up sometime this summer...

Hoping to tinker after work tonight, stopped by Lowes at lunch and got new bolts for the mount.

great to hear, V boxes are great. See the Geo orbit website on c-band dish tuning.

You find your true south satellite and set your elevation and declination angles.
after that you may have to tweak the polar axis a little bit but you will get it.

Have fun.

Done!!
Works like a charm..... signal strengths up 2-3 points across the board.
I can only get 6 sats because of trees.
The actuator it came with is a little wimpy for a 10 footer, I have to get that pulse generator
ordered for the Saginaw...

Congrats...I enjoy hearing of C band dishes going into service.

How about some photos?
