12ft Channelmaster Find!

[Anole]

I got the switch that Anole recommended and made the modification for power.
Would anyone else have any other suggestions for installing an orthomode feed?

Well, it's Pendragon's recommendation.
I just keep good notes. -

Quite a few of the guys are running Ortho feeds.
Some who come to mind are:
- Linuxman
- Stogie5150
- ACradio
- Pendragon
- and many more.

I'm sure you could search for a post by any of those folks, with the key word "orthomode" and find lots of encouragement.
Don't think there are any secrets about 'em.

As for wiring 'em up, that's not specifically covered in the Switches Simplified FAQ.
But if you're running Orthos, you're no beginner anyway. -
(try: your two C-band LNBs to the non-22khz inputs, and your two Ku-band LNBs to the two 22khz inputs)

Thanks for the advice. I will have to dig out those old posts. Trkracr offered his help a year ago...he's local. I might have to look him up if I run into trouble. But really...after reading most threads, I should have it. Thanks again for the props and incouragement. Here is a pic of my package! Whoo hoo! $40 per Bullseye II...unheard of!!! Worth the wait in shipping!
