Patriot 3.8m

[Journey]

@s-band I really love your dish and am following the thread with keen interest

Obviously this is a massive project which will take a lot of hard work and time to get it how you want it, but curious if you have put any time frame on completion of the project ? nothing official, just something in your own mind

Thanks for sharing and look forward to further updates

 

[s-band]

Thanks for the interest. I'm not sure. It takes me a while to work out what to do. At the moment I'm collecting ideas but I can't see a way of doing what I want within the funds available. It was an opportunistic, rather than planned, buy. Bits of the house are falling apart so I need to fix that first. I've still got to finish the CM 1.8 as well. I hope I'll be able to get the Patriot together in 6 months or so.

Apparently, all 5 dishes have now been sold. Where are the other 4? Anyone want to admit to having one?

No.

I´m sure you can convince the wife ( ? ) that the 3.8 dish will protect the leaking roof

Not me I did my homework before bidding ended.

i did consider it but nearly £1000 for the mount plus shipping .

Diamond ?

Pentagonal? That's an interesting Gregorian style dish there.... Wonder how much it all costs!

Good find, BM. I've printed it to pdf to keep it but the file is huge.

You can click on "Request Quote" if you want to buy one. ST1 has the contacts if you are serious;-)

I was looking for motorised lnb when I found it G, its far to big for my needs + don't want to re mortgage the house , thanks for the links though I enjoy looking and dreaming

I have the same (or similar ) drum for the 3.1 Patriot I installed many, many moons ago.

I welded it to some angle iron at the correct declination and onto an Ajak H-to H motor. It's still in the garden as I cant be bothered to move it around to the front of the house.

Yours if needed.

Hi, Can you pls post a pic of your motorized mount pls ?

I`m one of those a few lucky ones...
So I may say i`m a proud owner of a Patriot PRT-380, Patriot PRT-500 but also a Prodelin 1375-990 and other Prodelin dishes mostly of size from 2.4 to 3m. But it doesn`t matter anyway...

BTW. All dishes are stored at my brother`s place I`ll soon move to.

As you can see, all those dishes are brand new.

Very very nice indeed, very envious lol.
Any chance of a pic looking into the front of the Cband square section polariser, would love to know what method of transition is used.

Expand above to see my reply

It came in a box of surplus feeds and is a WG13/WR159 feed with some kind of tuneable OMT. The WG is for 4.9-7.05G but I'm not sure what it will actually cover.

Good to see you on this thread. I knew that the fixings are stainless but I didn't realise that the ribs are aluminium on the 5m. It looks very nice.

I've been thinking about the 3.8 mount and looking at things like NEW 80mm ADR Stub Axle, 8 stud, , either with a laser cut 6-10mm steel disk (circa £150) or a 28" tractor wheel for the azimuth. 11 x 28 Tractor Wheel Rim David Brown 880 885 Ford 2000 3000 Massey Ferguson 135

The transfer port mentioned will cover the uplink C band frequencies including the 5cm amateur (AMSAT ?) band.

One of the imges Satosk has posted is a mechanical waveguide for circular to linear conversion.
