How many members use the 1224 motor? What size dish do you use on it etc.  Any one have the strengthened version? | ||

My System: Various | I tried a 2.4M dish on one and it moved it effortlessly from 0 elevation. But it could not cope with wind and would have been damaged eventually. I think a 1.8M dish is the absolute max for exposed areas. | ||

| Crossbones, I use one on a Precision 1.5M prime focus dish. I have had it for at least 10 years now and it still works perfectly. Its the best bit of sat equipment I have ever bought, lasted ages longer than some of my "cards" One point though, when it comes out of the box you may need to adjust the mechanical E/W limits in the casing otherwise it will have a truncated arc. Its easy to do and instructions should be with the paperwork. I have not heard of the "strengthened" version, what aspect of it is "strengthened" ? rgds | ||

Orthoclipse, what was the dish made from? moonbase, here is a pic of the stronger 1224. I was debating about mounting my C/master 1.8 on it. But I think its too heavy and wont risk it.  | ||

My System: I use a 1.2 Gregorian dish connected to four receivers including a scopus 4.2.2 professional ird2800 and Echostar3600 and two blind scan rx's. My lnb is a quad invacom. All rx's are linked to my packard bell easy one silver laptop. | Looks like that an additional plate that holds the Incline jack bolt to the base of the 1224, I think on or two bases have snapped as in the picture with the wind. Looks like that could be a fairly easy diy job though. Thanks Crossbones. BTW, I have a 1.8 Precision on a 1224, I think that would be my limit and certainly a Channel Master 1.8 would be really pushing it with the weight. | ||

That metal plate does look an easy mod to do. But the prices on that German site are very good.  | |||

There are some people mounting 2.4M and 3M mesh antennas on them, but the wind load would be much lower. There used to be a sturdier version, the SMO-36 (2nd picture) but it is no longer manfactured. Satshop24 stock the KM 1012 and use a 3.7M mesh on it. h**p://forum.dxtv.de/wbb/thread.php?threadid=7090 | |||

Satshop24 are out of stock of the KM 1012. I did look at that motor when I nearly bought a prodeline 3.1m. Also considered the Egis but out of my price range! | ||
