Help with Excede

[Gray1]

Does anyone know which satellite that Exede pulls its signal from? Does anyone know what size base you need for them to mount the dish?

Thanks for any help.. The seller doesn't know.

115W and 2" IIRC.

2 inch IIRC? Is that 2 inch inside and 2 3/8 O.D.?

Thanks

 

[KE4EST]

2" O.D.
IIRC short hand for "If I Remember Correctly".

You can't get the pole for exede from Home Depot. Can only get it through a retailer

I understand that Exede wants solid copper center for the install. Any idea how long the coax can be? Looks like I will need somewhere around 150-175 feet. Do I need 1 single RG6 or Dual RG6?

Thanks

150' is the longest the installer is allowed to run. This is a total from the dish to the ground block and then on to the modem.
All of the newer systems now use only one single, solid copper center RG-6 coax, rated for 3GHz or higher.

You could still use Rg11

I had a 300 foot run with Rg11 using one of the first starband systems.
