I've never used a slewing drive. Do you have a link to a suggested model that would work with your commercial antennas? Would you still be able to punch in a position to a positioner and the satellite move to a specific orbital location with these drives just like it works now with an actuator/HH m...

All, I noticed this excellent post on another forum about how to align your dish true south using some simple solar calculations from NOAA . I also noticed the poster was aligning our dish. :wink: I highly recommend people try this method! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup ------------------------------...

So does SNR tend to increase by about 5% around the equinoxes and perhaps decrease by 5% around the solstices? Quite fascinating, belter-one No, it should do the opposite and decrease. Remember, during the equinox and solstice, the clarke belt plane which holds the satellites is coincident with the...

Didn't you get an actuator plate with your dish? Rather than bolting the actuator jack to the dish arm, you bolt the actuator plate to the arm and the jack to the actuator plate. This gives the jack more leverage and allows for more travel. BTW, there is nothing much on 65w c band for us (south amer...

Excellent,

Tek2000 sent a replacement superjack that arrived quickly and at a good price. So we are up and running. Thank you tek2000 for standing behind your product and for good advise on product maintenance.

Happy holidays and days to all,

belter-one

Glad we could help! Enjoy the holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving holiday to all Canadians out there!

It's only 5am, but I'm already salivating and can hardly wait to get home to that Thankgiving stuffed turkey dinner, gravy and a few beers!

Cheers!

What is this for? My finger is pointing at it.

It is for attaching the 8 steel rear panel braces!

Only the 12' and larger antennas have brace support. The purpose is to prevent deformation of the reflector under high wind and snow loads.
