My sat setup (grounding & Lnb questions)

[scottc98]

Hey everyone,

I've had an existing FTA for many years now and have finally got around to laying it out on paper. After reviewing it, I was starting to wonder if I have everything properly set up grounding-wise. The system has not caused me any issues expect for one failed Disqec, a bad BSC621, and the occasional realignment due to weather. Hoping people here can take a look and maybe suggest a few things that I missed on the installation.

Here are my main questions:

1) Is my grounding correct or am I missing some pts (i.e switches)

2) Thinking of switching the two KU standard LNBS with Dish stacked lnbs to open a few ports up. Where would you put the two extra LNBS at? (Can only be between 72 and 112 on the T90)

3) Now that IS-9 KU is pretty much dead now, any ideas on what to do with this dish? (View is only between 50ish to 82/83 at its current location)


Thanks in advance

Scott, your grounding looks correct - the ground block should be within 10 feet of the entrance to the house.

Scott, congratulations on that system. I couldn't wire all that together, if my life depended on it!

Nice setup and drawing! Is RTN on 83W?
