    Dish motor less wear and tear

    Hi all, I have a current problem with this matter. As @Channel Hopper knows , my power cables( although quite thick') run a good 90m from the actuator to the house and at the end of each ark ( 30w to 62E) I have trouble getting back the dish( giant 3.7m prodelin) to the center, after 5-6...

    3.7m Prime Focus Prodelin project: any ideas?

    3.7m Prime Focus Prodelin project: any ideas?

    The manual said it focal distance is at 24 inches so we placed a 137cm stick between the central lines of the dish and feedhorn. I am hoping this is correct. 1.90 for the height was too high as the top of the dish and lnb would be out of the reach..
