From a laminas 1200 to a 1.80m Master channel

[stephan94]

lately I have slightly improved my equipment.
I have a Laminas 1200 antenna (still in use)
but now I also have a 1.80m Channel master equipped with a "revolver" with 6 LNBs.
Thanks to dreamsat and trust I was able to find all these equipments.

On the laminas 1200 is a Twin LNB Octagon Optima model OTLO

what kind of motor are you using to move the disc, if possible some photos on all sides, because that disc is heavy
thank you

I'm interesting, too.
I'm planning to install a new Raven (Channel Master) 2.4m offset dish, but I'm also evaluating the smaller 1.8m, and I must choose the best motor.
Which motor did you install? What is your maximum range from East to West? Thanks.

It's an old Motor Ajak H to H from the 1990s.
Obviously, it takes a lot of luck to find one still in good working order.
I only go from 66 East to 47 West, but these are the antenna viewing limits
and these are not the mechanical limits of the engine.

hi stephan94
once you ll get these devices , maybe you ll need a powerfull positionner !!!
Cardiff and Captain Jack have one , PM me if you need one .

Home made diseqc positioner

CAPTAIN JACK ask me for a special feature on my positioner : he have a CM dish where C-band-lnb is above Ku-lnb , and the polar mount have a elevation actuator , so i detect diseqc 1.0 (input A to D) to drive elevation actuator with an offset from actual position . as he explain...

Hallo dreambox1959
thank you very much for your suggestion,
everything works perfectly for me with a Drake APS 24E positioner adapted to be able to work in Usals. (thank you Trust)

my "jpcbox" allows you to control at the same time the mechanical polarizer, the elevation and azimuth motor and the lnb revolver changer: all in one !.

despite a horizon not really free, I succeeded
find a feed on 66 ° East (winter will be more favorable)
a camera looking towards the "revolver" allows to see more or less what bothers

I always wanted one of those to compliment my ESR 324, in the end I went Uniden as they included - rudimentary - remote control function
