TBH, I think the advice on choice of cables being given here is going a little OTT ("Over The Top") for the application that is envisaged as discussed in the
original thread -
especially in Post #88 - because it involves using a 75/80cm dish to get mainly 30W, 19E & 13E - all of which provide fairly strong signals in the Southern UK.
Well ...
This is an enthusiast's forum.
When asked for advice, I give the enthusiasts answer.
I say buy the proper components, but at the best prices.
I have found so far that botching up stuff will probably work most of the time (I have several installations with PVC sheathed cable and screw-on F-connectors).
But in the past 5 years I have learned the joys of using quality components, as the result can be so much better.
To be clear:
You can pop down to screwfix, buy the cheapest "sat cable" they carry, and put some screw-on connectors.
Then slap the dish on the H2H, and attach this to some bracket.
And you will probably get some kind of signal.
But you may struggle having a swing from 30W to 19E, and still have optimal reception.
Usable reception - yes, probably.
For how long? Depends on how lucky you are.
So ensuring you have the right components and materials, and being thorough in the assembly is the key to good results.
It really boils down to: Is OP looking to put up a rig that will provide many years of continued predictable service, or is it the experimenter/explorer's foray into motorised reception?
One thing I am serious about, though, are the F-connectors.
Through my professional life, I have been shown how important it is to have radio-right connectors and fittings.
With screw-on F-connectors it is very easy to allow spurious frequencies into the waveguide, especially from DECT phones, mobile phones, radios, Microwaves etc.
With compression ones are much easier to obtain a radio-tight connector attachment (but it still have to be done properly!)
So by all means pop down to screw-fix; it will probably work for you.
But if you want it the enthusiast way... well...
