My System: 1.2M & 55cm Gregorian Dish`s, 1.5m Gibertini on a Jaeger 1224 H-H motor. Dreambox 7025 200gb HD, Vbox-II. SS2 Card. | Is it ground mounted or are you using T & K brackets on a wall? If your using T & K`s then use a length of scaffolding pole, about 2" is fine.

My System: Smart lnb, 1m Gibby dish, Stab motor, TM5200D receiver, 57east to 61west. DTT from Sudbury. Virgin Media broadband. | Problem with that type of bracket (swan neck) for a motorised system is that it is liable to flex as the dish is moved from east to west. Hence you will not follow the arc correctly. I think that you will find that wod has similar problems when he set up his motorised dish and now has T&K's with a pole between them. PR | ||
