[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 987088, member: 178786"] BM, That is an interesting dual axis setup on the 2.2m Precision dish on the trailer. They have used an original Precision heavy duty polar mount as the pivot for the horizontal plane but not used the declination offset and not set it to track the satellite arc. In fact the Precison polar mount is not directly attached to the dish but simply pivots East/West across a flat horizontal plane. On the top of the Precision polar mount is attached a pivoting frame that the dish is attached to, this upper frame has the elevation actuator connected. Its a seriously heavy duty bit of dual axis kit. I have attached a picture below of the same type of Precision polar mount, obviously without the pivoting top frame that is present in the "trailer dish". You can see how the "trailer dish" mount was created from the original Precision polar mount by the addition of the top frame. Rgds [/QUOTE]
