Decided to upgrade my dish this week with not good results
Previously had a technomate 90cm dish with tm2300 motor and it worked fine 28.2, 16, 13, 0.8, 30w etc
Bought a second hand gibby op125, new stab HH120 motor, gibby feedhorn, invacom c120 LNB
Spent the last 3 days messing around with it and i am not a happy bunny to put it mildly
So i did exactly what i did with my previous dish, go to Thor 0.8w and tune to BBC World News (75% SNR)
But no signal on any other satellite, my heavy duty L bracket is bang level
This was supposed to be an upgrade and has been a disaster
I am not a satellite engineer and have limited tools ie crappy meter off ebay
My thinking was i set the last one up so this should be straight forward
Now some things that may or may not be causing me problems
I have had to fit an additional back plate to the dish to stop it hitting the motor so am not sure if that could cause problems
I have removed the rod which allows you to fine tune the dish from behind as this would hit the motor as the dish turned
I know most people dont have time for people like me but my sanity has been pushed this week
Trust me i have 75% snr on Thor and nothing else, any suggestions (apart from scrap the dish lol)
