1.5 Precision dish install

[moonbase]

Ok, it would be a shame to butcher this mount by the sound of it, leave it with me I am sure we can come to some arrangement.

Martin,

If you are interested in the actuator I offered as a trade I have pasted the link below to my for sale topic on the forum?

Ive just ordered some more mirrors for making sure she's in perfect shape my grandkids took my others a few days ago, I will add turn buckles and wire to pull her in shape if she's out

Might be looking at putting my 1.8 CM on a polar mount so would have my Jumbo H-H for sale, basically a 1224 in a different beefed up case. Would that be of interest to you Martin?

Stringing the dish its a bit out of shape you can see it here, i will await for the mirrors to arrive and see were it needs pulling.

Once its pulled into shape it might be a handy C Band or Ka Band dish?

I am unsure atm, the wife loves most sport including cricket, I do know there is a biss C band channel somewhere on the arc whether this dish could pull the signal I will have to read up as to what position and channel is, if it will I will use C band on this dish, if not it will be C band on the 1.8/maybe C band and ku on both, I don't know what to do spoilt for choice.

Could you post some pictures up of your setup Dave please ?

 

[Captain Jack]

Thanks for letting me having this Martin Very much appreciated!

Chris, let me know when you're ready to sell and I'll take it

There are regular cricket feeds in BISS from 68.5E in 8PSK modulation, however, they are out of scope for a Precision 1.5m dish in the UK, it is just not big enough.
To capture the 68.5E C Band feeds in 8PSK modulation at a UK location you need a much larger dish.

There may be cricket feeds in C Band on other satellites visible to the UK?

Thanks Dave it was PTV Sports paksat 1R I read about, I can reach 68.5 with the 1.8 worth a try for nothing I guess,

Hmmm, interesting, the PTV signals on some of 38.0E are feeds.
There are some reports of C band reception for 38.0E from UK locations in the C band section, looks to be an interesting one for the fringe men?

I should be able to see this at low level to test @Feedsat_DXer do you get the PTV channels here please, if so with what size dish please.

Hi - martin
I think the chances of getting PTV channels at 38 east are slim -- although its always worth a try with C band at 38 e as its an odd satellite ...... i,v never seen them with the c.m. 1.8 dish though

But with the 10 ft Prodelin i can lock 4054 V 7000 at 6.db (not much margin there )
and 4003 V 15550 is unlocked at up to 2.0 db at best .....


Nice Precision dish you have there...... it should give some good results i think ...


I have its little sister here. not currently in use. but did use for a couple of years ... a nice little dish.

Hi nelson thanks for the information I don't stand a chance thanks for checking,

I have ended up buying a 90cm precision as well in the end and two brand new proper jacks never used and a few lnbs, happy days

It looks like I am fixed up with actuators now Dave, and taking a close look at the mount it would be fine on a 2.4 at low level in a sheltered area and it also would be a shame to split it, so I will be putting it in storage for the big day,

A few more pictures of the actuators.
