Soo I get up and fixn to play...and notice no signal anywhere...not even ku..knowin my motor elevation is strippd i assume the motor dropd a hair..so i looses the bolts watch the meter in the tv and nothing..east and west nothn...hours later i find a bisket inside my lnb...yup a bisket...fit perfect...guess i should buy a cap

I've heard of bees in a lnb but never a biscuit. Glad you figured out the problem!

I've got a red squirrel(s) that lives in my barn and black walnut and butternut trees nearby.You should see all the nuts I find "stored" in interesting places.I keep telling them it"s a good thing they're cute,and don't cause too much mischief.

Still do not get it, sorry

biscuit is what he meant... imagine one of those stuffed inside the LNB...

 

[k.r.]

Makeing a new lnb holder tomorrow at work..measured everything..im pretty sure it will be just right...it will fit the lnb arm and bolt holes of my winegard 76cm and hold the lnb properly..no more wood blocks and hose clamps and angle washers...i like switching out and watching ku band also..itl be simple now..

[k.r.]

She has lost her biscuit privileges....indefinitely

 

[k.r.]

Its getn there...fixing to polish up and drill holes..

 

[RimaNTSS]

good job k.r. what kind of welding is that? TIG? How are you going to change direction of the LNB? And at which point on the surface of the dish your holder will be pointing LNB?
I have made couple of LNB holders out of 42mm INOX pipe. Such a construction allows to adjust LNB in any direction.

 

[k.r.]

It will bolt right into the origional holes for the factory lnb holder...tig welded..and no adjusting..i tested and measured my best angles and built it to just hold it there..il send pics later tonite of finished and mounted...weather permiting

 

[k.r.]

Almost coffee and surfing time...cant wait..hope these pics help someone wanting to play mini c band..

 

[k.r.]

Wish i would of used lil longer bolts but im happy so far...

 

[k.r.]

Found 91w...everything i had before...found 97w. Working on tweaking it..its raining..but im on the 2nd floor padio dry..just hurting the signal..I did away with my motor..It was getn sloppy..I think i did a pretty good job on this holder

 

[k.r.]

Im happy to say soon will be the end of the mini bud...itl soon be just plain ol bud time..

 

[k.r.]

Im sooper beyond excited to not only soon be a home owner soon but to also have room for good sized antennas for all my ham radio play..my vhf and uhf tv dx'in...and my never ending surfing of ku and c band...cant wait to have a decent c band dish or 2...

 

[k.r.]

14 days of inpatient waiting left..

I'm glad I just saw this thread. I had tried doing C band on my 90cm with a couple of different LNBs with no luck. Hearing that you got something on a 76cm gives me hope...

Dont give up
