It's calling your name, hank123! I'm not sure there any other Satelliteguys in the state!

Wow! I saw 'Dillon' and for a second I thought Dillon S.C. I was already thinking road trip.lol. That beauty ought to rock for a KU dish. Wish it was MUCH closer.

It's just a few hours from here, but sadly I have nowhere to plant or store it. It'd also be a harrowing drive down I-70 with that thing somehow attached to the roof of my wagon (but worth it).

That looks homemade? I remember coming across a commercial product, Avalanche I think, that mounted on your dish and vibrated to shake the snow off. Wonder how hard it would be to put something like that together?

 

[armadillo_115]

FTA4PA...if you go to bacinvention(dot)com...it looks like part of the Roof Thumper they sell.

Found it (had to add an s after invention ). Looks pretty cool but, ouch, it says kits starting at $499 . I'll bet some enterprising Satellite Guy (or Gal) out there could put together something like this for us for even less??? (hint, hint)

Be real inexpensive to build your own snow shaker. Install an off balance weighted flywheel on an 12vdv ATV/ lawnmower / etc. starter motor then mount the motor on the dish frame. Run the dish to the horizon and activate the motor to shake the dish.

Yeah,but that is a kit with 8 "Thumpers". Listing only has one. I don't think it would work on a polar mount unless you could swing the dish far to the west or east.

A broom works well enough for me since I have no dishes mounted high. A broom and a kid who wants a dollar would work even nicer.

Used to see the snow shakers on polar mounts quite regularly up in the mountains. Here on the West Coast the snow-belt BUD owners usually would park the dish on the Eastern horizon (almost vertical) during heavy snow fall or while they were not at the cabin. A few flips of the shaker switch and the wet stuff hopefully would slide off (unless melted and refrozen).

The snow shakers didn't work well near the top of the arc and needed a slope to get the stuff sliding. I also am a broom guy!

I could grab this very easy. I'll be there this weekend. Anyone have an idea what it is and what it's used for?

Sent a text and they said "come pick it up"!

Here's a street view, but it's on the ground now. Tx/Rx for something... Have to see if the lnb is good for Ku....

They're taking the post down so I grabbed the pics before they dissappear.

 

[armadillo_115]

I think it's cool looking.
What it's for and how will it would work on KU...that's the $64 question.

EDIT: Just thought of what it reminds me of: One of the laser cannons on Star Wars.Bet you could point that at some nosey neighbors and they'd treat you much better.lol.Maybe add a laser pointer on the end.

A $64 question that can be answered for free! That's Bob Barker FTA approved!

Can an offset Rx lnb get both polarities?
