Great thread and pictures xilbus, I read this thread with great interest and I must admit it was a pleasure to read all the replies.
I was given a 1.2 meter Channel Master with the 4 ft pole etc last fall from a dear elderly customer of mine and I intend to set it up as soon as the weather gets a little warmer around here, I will need to do a little modification to set up the lnb, but its no big deal for me as I am quite handy.
I have done a great deal of research on this very subject I am getting itchy to get it set up.
I have purchased a DMS BSC621_2 including the conversion bracket and Conical Scalar Ring, the sidecar set up is a great idea for the Ku signal, and I may consider that option if the ku on the 621-2 is not that great.
Again thanks and a great read.
Wow I was just wondering this morning if it were possible to pick up C band signals with my size dish 39", as at my location I am well within range of most c band sats, the ku stuff i need a 6-8 footer for most of them. I am gonna start over reading this thread and take notes now lol
Hi
I started off with a 1.2 meter dish I which is just a little bigger than your 1 meter
and yes you can pick up some transponders but not that many.
I have a 14' dish and a 10' you can receive lot's with these combinations there is
no substution for square footage of area and a good Lnb Hi gain Low noise and
a receiver with a good front end tuner. If you have space and good line of sight
go for the larger dish this only my point of view.
Enjoy the hobby:okay:

This morning I did swapt the 3 foot dish with 4 foot fortec dish with allready sidekar C lnb 7 degree apart the Ku lnb,on the Motec 2100 motor with NO success.
The motor is give -up ..It's moved the dish to 15w and then stuck on that bird /lol/,so I put again the 3 foot ,and start looking for more power motor..
Actualy around my True South /83w/-PLUS/minus 10-15 degree ,the motor is moving East and West,but no way lower and higher .The dish is heavy ..
