StarTrak with Polar Axis

[trommy]

This has only one coax connection.The neighbour of the former owner said it was around 10 yr old.It has these 3 sets of numbers:25/80/35 *K.Can someone tell me if it's C band only?I just discovered when I switch from a V to a H tp that the 'probe/antenna' stays in the 2 o'clock position.Any suggestions?Thanks

I am pretty sure it is c band only. For polarity/skew, you need to hook up the 3 wires coming out of the servo(off blue cube) red =5 volts, white= pulse, black=ground.
An old analog receiver or some Pansat models will operate a servo (3500 for sure, that's what I use)

Thanks Fat Air but there aren't any wires or a place to plug any into on the bservo???

 

[trommy]

I hope I uploaded these right.


You can see there is nowhere to put wires??

I forgot to mention,I ordered a DMX741U 4 nights ago from HyperMegaSat.

yup, feed is a single Cband with servo...

how big is the dish?

 

[trommy]

It's a 92",I guess that's 7 1/2'.waiting for the DMX.

You should have the DMX741 pretty soon. I got an order in less than a week. The blue box on the old feed should have three wires on it. Red -Power +5v, white - Pulse, and black - ground. (might have all faded to an off white color) Takes an old analog receiver, or some Pansat models(I used a 3500), to run it.

 

[trommy]

Thanks,but I can't find anywhere for the wires to connect.I'm gonna go look again.

There ia a small square recessed hole on the underside facing the dish and,using a mirror,I can see only 2 wires about 18AWG.They are cut off flush and no doubt the 3rd is there too.I think I'll go out and remove the LNB.Thanks again.

Did yours come from HyperMegaSat?What part of the continent do you live in?("7-14 days to Canada".)Thanks
