Yep have got the Inverto ordered should be here tomorrow 20.50 including p+p. So is the feedhorn ok or do I need another one?

Try the one that came with the dish first, It should be fine.
If not then the Invcacom adjustables are cheap.

Right got this far now but not sure whether the everything is fitted correctly can someone enlighten me please

Blimey its shrunk

jontydog · 06-09-07, 06:01 PM

lol yep it was raining the other night and when I got up in the afternoon that was all that was left

Once I know its set up right I can put the actual dish on. Still need to wire up the jaeger which I will do tomorrow. (can't use a 12v motor as I don't have one or a car) Just had the bottom off it and there is a wiring diagram in the base so thats pretty straight forward. Need some proper nuts and bolts for the stand as well as bolts to bolt it to the floor which I shall rifle work for tonight

Looks ok to me,only thing i can think of,have you got a spacer or washer between the rose joint and the dish arm,if not may have problems then over to the west!

Impressive spot!

Ahh so thats where it goes. Will sort it out tomorrow. LNB didn't arrive so hopefully should be here this morning and should be set up this afternoon. I take it I set up the same way from 1 degree west?

jontydog · 07-09-07, 04:38 AM

Oh forgot to ask what are these for and where do they fit? Don't you just love it when you take things and put them back together and always have bits left over

LNB has just arrived

but looks very small and not up to much at all. Its an Inverto White Tech Universal Single Flange (ooer mrs) LNB 0.3dB. Do I just take the old lnb off the feedhorn and replace it with the new one. Does the new lnb do the switching or do I still need the polariser?
