Multifeed WFT-90 some modification done

[Huevos]

Can't see the problem with the original bracket.

Not sure about the one godzillafan got, but mine didn't come with any bracket.

As far as I am aware the T90 hasnt come with a bracket for 3-4 years.
The bracket I linked to above used to be bundled with it but is sold seperately now for ~25 euro.

Are you putting this bracket on the wall?

Thats the plan allright .
I was going to put it on 2 T brackets I currently have for a 1m Gibertini but I am unsure if it will take the load.
Probably going to get this bracket and mount it lower down or else get a friend who is a metal fabricator to make something up.

You could always try a brace from the front of the top bracket to the back of the bottom bracket, may provide sufficient vertical support.

Can't see the problem with the original bracket.You just turn it around for use as a wall bracket

Box arrived this morning

it had the wall/floor mount in it. Just going to use that, but with some heavy duty wall bolts.

Hi guysQuestion about a t55I know it says 55cm, but its bigger. Does it act like a 70 or 80cms dish it a smaller dish?I know it says 8 lnbs, anyone managed to get a spread of 8 lnbs, if I set 28.2 near the middle, what else is possible.CheersOh the 90 is slowly been built, the rain had stopped me going outside, so not had a chance to even take the drill out.

Question about a t55

The 55 relates to the performance. So the T90 (which is wider than 90cm) supposedly has the performance of a 90cm dish, and the T55 (which is wider than 55cm) has the performance of a 55cm dish.

Spacing the LNBs 4.5º apart (which is the minimum spacing of LNBs with regular feedhorns) allows you to get 8 LNBs on the guide bar of the T55. Obviously though the satellites are not perfectly spaced at 4.5º across the arc so 8 LNBs within the guide bar of a T55 is not a realistic number even though it is physically possible.

Cheers hIf I get 6 on there and centre around 28.2 in London, what other sats can I pick up with the 55 without much trouble. Recommending this my uncle there after he saw my 90.His area a little more built up so going smaller. If I use 5-6 lnbs and centre around 28 would it be possible to get 13, 19, and a few others.If not should I recommend a trix 90 with 4 lnbs to get s good spread with a good signal. Worried that the 55 might not pick up strong signalsCheers

You need to confirm with someone there, but maybe 42ºE, 28ºE, 23ºE, 19ºE, 13ºE & 9ºE.

Cheers h - seems like a good spread, will get them to check the channels, but if I can get that on the 55, that will be great.

 

[sonnetpete]

On the 60cm I go from 23.5°E to 5°W (centre on 5°E) and on the TD88 42°E to 19.2°E (centre on 26°E). I think you could reach to 9°E on the TD88 in that position and a little further with clamps to facilitate another LNB 'off the bar'.

cheers guys
the more i think about for my '3rd' uncle I have started my own sat club.

i am thinking that he will be better with a 80 or 90 with a 4 holder.

not sure that the 55 is going to do it.

looking at the replies and research 4 holder with some diy - a 80/90 might be better

HI Guys

My uncle just brought the T55 but it came with no Wall Bracket.

Can anyone confirm which bracket he needs as he wants to get it from the bay and from the UK for quick cheapo shipment.

Any link for a tk and pole or L shaped bracket would be of great help

I have not see the T55 so i cant tell what bracket it needs

Any linky please

cheers guys

 

[godzillafan]

update

just checked a few sites and they say a T55 is 1 5/8" , I am guessing thats about 40mm - is there any tk or other brackets on the bay that will fit or what has everyone used for the T55 (if anyone has got one).

cheers

T&K brackets will accept a mast of your choice, so probably the best way to go. They are also pretty easy to manipulate for plumbness of mast.

No big need, it was a experiment on a solution that i got in mind.
I did it because it i can.

The T-90 saga has ended.
After renovation and repainting my house i have dicided to not put up the T-90 again.
I was so bored of all the dirtcollecting cables and swithes.
So it has been replaced with a temporary Nokian 70cm motorised dish.
A better dish will be put up later ,prob a motorised 1m Gibertini XP Premium.

Ouch, it looks like you've just chucked it on the compost heap...
