Hi Folks,

Here is my 1.8 channel Master bought off E-Bay now fully installed and working like a dream, steady as a rock on the Jumbo motor

hi - scopus -
a nice neat setup

in a nice setting
i have the same dish/setup but not the same motor -
and my "setting" is a bit of a scrapyard - l.o.l.

they are an exellent dish once you get them setup right --

regards c.c.

very nice setup

what happened to the precision 1.8 dish and is the channel master 1.8m better ?

crossbones · 27-05-09, 11:31 PM

I like it!

Does the beefed up 1224 handle the heavy weight ok?

How is the 1224 beefed up?

Hi Wod,

I found the Channel Master better, the Precision had a few minor dents probably affecting performance, anyway, sold it on E-Bay

Hi Crossbones,

Handles the weight just fine. I think Unicorn added a better gearbox and the casing of the motor is half an inch thick.

is the actuator is for inclined orbit satellites ? must be strong to move that dish up/down

any reportage yet on 7west and 26east would be another to try ?

Hi Wod,

The incline jack is a heavy duty type and moves the dish just fine.

7W horizontal channels are fine even, only lost lock when it really chucks it down. Eurobird at 25.5 E is OK
