Giveaway - WS International DMX524U Quad Output Universal LNBF

[kirara386]

WS24095 8' prime focus dish
DMX242 Dual C-Band LNBF
lots of switches
and other misc. parts

 

[Tron]

Well, I've got plenty of dishes, LNB(F)s, and other pieces/parts... So I guess I'd go for something I DON'T have... Something that could save me plenty of time while out working in the dish farm re-pointing dishes. I'd go with the Trimax 2200 ...

Lexium DBS 8000 Receiver
(2) DMX741U LNBF
SG2100 Dish Rotor
SG9120 Motor
FDL4 90cm dish
Trimax SM-2200 satellite meter

 

[Beef4Me]

No doubt, the Trimax SM-2200 Meter

 

[jduffin]

I would get:

240cm dish
DMX741U LNB
Powermax PMA24 Actuator
Vbox

and the balance in f-connectors, coax, etc.

 

[Zorak]

I have to agree and go with the Trimax SM-2200 Meter. Thanks for the fun contest!

 

[skysurfer]

Since I can't find the 8' satellite dish on your retail site, I would have to purchase a couple of WS1247 120cm dishes, add a couple of Fortec Star motors and buy a couple of tripods to help make the mounting of them quicker/easier.

Any leftover money would go towards buying some Powermax PMA24 actuators as backups to my current c-band dish actuator arms.

 

[JSJ]

Trimax SM-2200 meter.

 

[Corrado]

I would choose the Trimax SM2200 meter.

Thanks for the new items and contest, Robby.

 

[Deaver]

Trimax SM-2200 Meter looks interesting, I'd like that one.

RG6 Coax Stripper

$500 eh...?

Since I'm up to my neck in C-band dishes...
I'd start with your 1.2m Ku dish package (Package #6) with the SG9120 motor for $325
Add a 2nd SG9120 for an existing 1m Ku dish - $79
And then tack on a Vbox $65
I'm sure the shipping would put me well over $500 after that...

Trimax SM-2200 Digital Satellite Signal Meter/Finder

 

[rv1pop]

At this time, that Trimax SM-2200 Digital Satellite Signal Meter/Finder looks like the best chioce. However, I would like to not lock myself into something, that when the time came, I could not switch.
My NEED right now is for some better batteries (deep cycle) to charge with my solar panels.

 

[pback]

$500 Gift: Trimax SM-2200 Satellite Meter

then I'll buy my first BUD:
240cm WS24095 Dish
DMX741U CKU LNB
Powermax PMA 24 Actuator
V-Box V

 

[Anole]

10 pcs DMX522 Dual Linear Ku Band LNBF @ $13 each (on sale)
2 pcs Invacom TWF031 Twin Universal LNBF 0.3dB @ $69 ea
2 pcs Invacom Invacom QPH031 Quad Polar CPLP LNBF @ $60 ea

Some obvious things ... I may already have.

 

[tonydix]

I would get a really good quality signal meter or spectrum analyser to search the arc for signals
Thanks for the contest

 

[Pismire]

Well I could really use a motorized ku setup so I would go for:

Powermax SG-9120 Motor
WS1247 Dish
and the DMX524U lnb would be nice.

Thanks for the contest.
