anyone know if I can put a motor / actuator on a dish like this one at ebay 1.8 m Satellite Dish, Prime Focus, C/ KU, with integrated mount, AZ/EL, NEW! | eBay
Sorry no. That is an Azimuth / Elevation fixed mount. You need a dish with a Polar Mount.anyone know if I can put a motor / actuator on a dish like this one at ebay 1.8 m Satellite Dish, Prime Focus, C/ KU, with integrated mount, AZ/EL, NEW! | eBay
oh I know I already have a 10fter a friend just gave me this 6fter I was just hoping to put a motor on it to play with guess i'll have to try to fabricate something wonder if I do if a hh120 motor will move itAnd along that same line, you need a LARGER dish!! A 6ft prime focus dish isn't going to do well on Cband feeds. 8ft is probably a minimum and even then there's going to be some Cband stuff you WON'T be able to lock. I'd look around your rural areas there in W Va for a good used 10 footer because that's about the only thing you're going to be happy with.I know this because I had a 7.5ft SAMI a few years ago and there was a bunch of stuff it wouldn't lock.
Just saying........................
A HH120 angle calculations are for an offset dish. Too much work to make that work, IMO.wonder if I do if a hh120 motor will move it
It's a lot of fun to play with fabrication of satellite gear. I do a lot of it. I have ventured into mounting a dish like that on a small h-h motor.oh I know I already have a 10fter a friend just gave me this 6fter I was just hoping to put a motor on it to play with guess i'll have to try to fabricate something wonder if I do if a hh120 motor will move it
yea I couldn't go wrong it was gave to me if nothing else it's more yard art lolA HH120 angle calculations are for an offset dish. Too much work to make that work, IMO.
I had one I gave $70 for a few years ago, it really was the worse dish I have ever owned. BUT....seeing as you already have it, might as well play around with it.
yea it'll at least give me something to do I just got done puttin this thing up and lined it in on G17It's a lot of fun to play with fabrication of satellite gear. I do a lot of it. I have ventured into mounting a dish like that on a small h-h motor.
USALS on CBand project FAILED
There have been others with varying success.
lol good one it is a little flimsy.. it does ok tho does better with one of your lnbs on itMe: It is so flimsy...
Heckler: How flimsy is it?
Me: It is so flimsy, it probably wouldn't even stay aligned in a dumpster!
LOL!!!
