My own construction, 23dB gain, motorized aerial

[Archived-1]

I've got most of it put together, and the chaps coming to install it tomorrow morning weather permitting , i am scared of going on the roof ,

I am not expecting to get very far with this and i will upgrade to the JBX21A or something similar in the near future.

I know this may sound obvious, but I've seen several of these installed by so called installers who haven't clicked the elements into the vertical. The JBX21WB will be what you want, but it really is an enormous aerial at 2.6m long.

Thanks Rolf, i will pop them up in the morning just in case he doesn't know, it was not obvious to me,

Yes they had one built up in the shop i was very tempted to get one but i will see how i go with this for the time being,

I have just popped out and bought it a camera .

What's the camera for? A touch of voyeurism?

No Alex, i have better things to do than watch other people i hate nosy people , watching the weather i can spin it round and see my bird feeders, see were my aerial is pointing etc.

Yes the Jaybeam is a giant that should be well braced. It's a monster!

I have one of these DMX and they rightly have an excellent reputation. The elements are solid so they can't fill with water and detune.

I think the modern rotor you have is fine and durable like the Technomate disecq motors. CH is right about some of the older ones, the nylon cogs weren't the best.
