[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 969303, member: 243342"] Thanks MB. Welp, it's up and sort of aligned. I am getting good signals from 46e (17.6d:cool: to some random data stream on 34.5w which was maxing out at 20dB (as read on F15). I can see 5dB on 12522 on 55e but no lock - clearly the neighbour's house/tree is well in the way of that. I am sure I'll get 53e though, as I see that on my Fibo. Can't get beyond 34w due to the neighbour's tree branches sprouting all over our side, so will resume once it's been pruned. [ATTACH=full]92717[/ATTACH] I need to slow down the Jumbo motor, it's way too fast for this dish - had real control issues with the EZ2000 positioner. I need to try it with a normal Vbox and see what that's like with it, but it's likely I'll need some inline resistors to reduce the motor drive voltage. The EZ2000 also had issues recalling stored positions. I don't think it's mechanical - more that the 1224 produces far more pulses than a normal jack and it seems to have been reaching count limits at the extremes. Not sure.... But....getting there. Will take a day off work at some point this week to try and finish it off (Ku band only for now) as I promised the good lady that I would spend next weekend putting up shelves for her... Here it is next to the Fibo 90 looking at 1w. [ATTACH=full]92718[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
