Overkill or What ..lol

[Vipersan]

Ok here is my final head end configuration..
Overkill you might say ..but that's what this hobby does to you ..

Left to right..
C band ..
Ka A Horizontal
Ka B and C overlapped Circular L/R or Linear H/V depending on the depolariser setting (Mechanical adjustment)
Ku Linear
Ka D single polarity H or V mechanical
Ka (part) A or B Verical or Ku (part) Circular or Ka (part) A or B Circular L or R

Problem ..
Only 6 IF lines ..and 7 needed ..
Hopefully the 13 / 18v switch from the usa ..ordered by my good friend Costa will solve this dilema..
rgds
VS

...not sure I can accomodate any more ...
Not even a waffer thin mint ...without exploding..

Crazy and extremely cramped setup.

Cramped it may be buddy ...but working it is ..and that's the main thing.

But when do you have time to view all the channels, you can receive?????
You always seem to be modding, or repairing

 

[Analoguesat]

Superb

Although I reckon you can get at least half a dozen extra lnbs in there

TBH Mickha I'm very selective about the time I waste actually watching TV ...
I get much more pleasure and satisfaction from the act of accessing the spectrum..
I enjoy the challenge of turning that germ of an idea into a working reality.
Once acheived ..it's on to the next wacky idea..

Looks good VS. Like birds on a wire, chattering away.
Your dish will be having a nervous breakdown soon - which LNB am I talking to now?

It'll be me having the breakdown..
I always forget to label as I go ..
So the tricky bit now is remembering which Diseqc 1.0 command and what diseqc 1.1..
For example the Norsat added today requires 4:7 ...wheras Ku is 1:2 .....the XMW is 1:6 and so on ..
by the end of next week ..I will have forgotton ..
Such are the senior moments I constantly have..

I normally make a table with all the details of the setup.
I have gone back to this list many times to confirm my settings.
It takes few minites but saved me many hours.​

A Fortec Star dish?.......... They dead now? lol

 

[Ghostleader]

Too answer my own question, dead! Unless a 2010 catalogue is still current!

 

[Vipersan]

Dead or not ..
Twas the bargain of the year at only £50 second hand ...and performs quite well really once re-furbished and modified.
Not an Origami dish like other FS dishes out there.
;)

 

[Captain Jack]

I had one too for a short while. Very heavy .. unlikely to cause issues like the PF ones.

 

[Ghostleader]

Surely made by somebody else and stamped for them though?

 

[Captain Jack]

PF ones are made by Jonsa - a Chinese(?) firm.
