Thanks for the reply.

The following pictures will be a guide for people who love to construct neck for their 2.4m dish .Mine was ground month and have been using it for the past 4yrs but plan to motorise it.I read all the thesis from season one to date just to get information on what and what to do before i get it done.

picture 1: neck of the ground mount dish to be modified into motorise set up
picture 2 : full welding,base ring and perfectly aligned handle to hold the jack
picture 3 : the neck of the dish(note precision is very important here)
picture 4 : the construction of the inclination and declination angle with adjuster.

Note to get perfect alignment on your dish during construction ,measure the base of the ground mount dish and divide by 3 that will align your dish perfectly but in my own case i divided by 2.I later on re-adjusted my calculation and the result was perfect alignmnent.

More pictures coming.

@OBNELLY

I have similar problem about motorising a neck for my 1.8M ground mount, i can't seem to get someone in ph who can construct one for me. my actuator and positioner are lying idle.

picture 5:both the neck and the base now fully coupled together to form neck for the 2.4m dish.
picture 6:neck mounted on pole(note their was error on the neck .because the lenght of the base was divided by 2.
picture 7 :correction on the neck (take note this when constructing your neck its very important.

i need your assistance in aligning my 2.4m motorised dish,i have managed a 1.8m dish but when it comes to this one its a piece of work,i'm in zambia lusaka and i have managed to get 64.2 E and i can move it to 62 deg where there is citizen but apart from these i cant get anything.I have just put one C-band Lnb with a dialect.SO WHERE HAVE I GONE WRONG? My mail add is trekmwansa@gmail.com

picture 8:make sure your pole is plume at angle 90 degrees.that will aid the perfect alignment of your dish.This too is very important.
picture 9.mounting the 2.4m dish on the pole.(NOTE where the base meet the standing pole there it formed "T".the cross bar at the base of the dish should be divided by 3 .For example if your total base length of your dish is 24inches divide by 3 that will give you 8 inches ,mark 8 inches and drill your hole.Then join your pole to the dish at that point that will give your dish perfect alignment and you will be able to get fringe reception like hotbird,nilesat,astra etc.In my first construction i made a mistake and thereafter correction it worked.
picture 10.well aligned 2.4m dish

picture 9

picture 11 :if your calculation is correct this is how your dish base and pole mount should look like before mounting the dish
picture 12: fully constructed dish neck,pole mount and jack all in action.

At the end of the whole exercise which took me up to 2weeks with enough of acute satellite disease syndrome .I was able to get the following satellite.from east to west all ku band.
w4/7 97%,newdawn 97%,astra 97%,badr 96%,eurobird 2 52%,w6 71%,w3c 97%,hotbird 57%,w3a 80%,sirus 97%,nilesat 56%,(watching mbc 2 now),atlanticbird 3 70%,nss7 97% .

more reports to come.


my special regards to sammu ,badaru and olofofo for their advise for making this project a success.Thumb up for you guys.

Viva FTA.

brite02 get a competent welder to do the job.You only need to supervise him otherwise he will not do a perfect job.I took me almost a week .I read from season 3 or 4 about a picture posted by George D on dish neck and i work based on that dish.The picture is good but after modification of my 2.4m dish i saw a mistake in George D picture which never worked with my dish and after re-adjusting the settings Gbam ! everything fall in place.



This is the picture i base all my calculation on,but check the cross bar where the dish is mounted and the pole .There is a big mistake in that picture at the base of the neck.the base lenght was divided into 2 in that picture instead of dividing by 3.The dish will get good signal on DTH signal but not on out of footprint signal.To make sure you get out of footprint signal perfect your dish base lenght by dividing the total length by 3

obnelly,
congrats on your successful installation work. i will put my own 2.4m pan dish to the test in january.

Thanks George D.The joy of free to air is do it yourself(diy).motorise your 2.4m and get more than 10-20 satellites.

Trek4000,can we chat on gmail tonight.

@ obnelly
you have ended the year well enjoy the fruit of your labour

Thanks brother ikiriye.

next i will launch my 2.4m strong pan this january.

let the game begin!

@ obnelly, if u'r wetin d SW region, u shud get beta signal quality dn dt. Tweak ur lnb and dish very wel. My hotbird quality is 74%,nilesat 69 & w6 93%. My dish is 2.6 fibre wit stargold fuji.

George u no go kill me .3m motorise is ok .sell off the 2 2.4m.olatufu na time oh any way i will work more on that.thanks

obnelly,
you no know say asas fever no get cure?

Compliments of the season Obnelly can we discuss when you have time.

Will u be online .i will be available in d evening.

@all, any installer within ondo state i want to motorize my 2.4 pan dish

Obnelly its seems we keep missing each other can we talk at say 19hrs GMT.Confirm if possible on my Gmail account.

I will try .

what would be your best time so that i dont squeeze you on the time.

NB-my c band is nt funtionin i only connected my diseqc nd ku band-please help

@p2boy2buzy. Is your dish motorised? If yes, your lnb skew should be at 3'0 clock. Then your declination angle must be well adjusted for yur dish to see all available sats.
