For several weeks I have been working on my first mini bud using my 5 foot Wilson dish, the mount that use to hold a 7.5 mesh dish that was damaged, and BSC 621-2 LNBF. The Wilson dish was one of those dish that use to set on the ground supported by a O ring that held it up.
I worked on this project between rainy weather during October. I adapted the mount onto the Wilson dish, planted the pole, and mounted the dish to it. I spent a few days setting the elevation\declination angles and finding the true south. It was successful. I used my US Electronics ORB5000 to track the Clark Belt arc with great results.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I used my Traxis 3500 receiver to blindscan the C Band TPs and as you can see in one of my pictures I got great signal and quality signals. I tracked a coupla other sats and got good results.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
At this point, I am only on G16. I will watch these channels until I can buy a cable that has the motor/sensor wires to move my dish. I had a section of the all in one ribbon cable but it has places on it that makes me uneasy to use.
No body around here sell any cable that has the motor/sensor wires so I am hoping to find some somewhere. I just got a RG-6 cable from the dish to my recei er.
I am hoping to use my Coolsat 8000 to run the V-Box and have the Quali piggy backed. I want both HD and 4:2:2 signals. I have been reading about the negative reviews about the V-Box. If that is the case, I have to depend on either the ORB 5000 or 4DTV receiver to move the dish.
I sure hope all this work...
Any suggestions will be welcomed...
