M8, that is one tasty setup

Thanks for sharing the pics. She's a beautiful piece of work :clap:

Are you going to put the CM 1.8m up at the same time?

Thanks

The 1.8 will be going where the greg is now, concreted 3ft down and T & K`s attached to the shed, so should be strong enough.

I was going to sell the greg, but just cant part with it

will probably wall mount it now, not sure. I will find room for it somewhere.

Nice looking setup crossbones.

Very nice setup, I'd love a dish like that - but my house is facing North and there are loads of obstacles in front of it so my dish would have to be high from the ground...

What sort of range can you get from that?

What is the 1.8m going to be used for?

crossbones · 07-04-07, 08:14 PM

I dont go past 28e or 30w But I have gone to 42e, I dont tend to drive it to the limits as the dish struggles. The motors are not very good.

The 1.8m will be used for sirius and thor both very week in s.wales. Also for show time on nilesat.

put the dish on a jaeger 1224 motor should have no problem then moving to the limits

I have thought about that, but as It will probably be wall mounted, I want to keep the weight down.

Any way my 1.8m will have a big 24" actuator stretch!
