Tripod and AT9

[Crystal Pepsi Ball]

I was scheduled for an install today for a H20 and AT9 dish. The installer stated that the tripod that he had would not work with the new KA/KU dish. My question is, is there a tripod that will work to get KA/KU. Also I have a post with a bucket with cement, could the installer screw the mounting bracket onto the dish.

Thanks for the repliew.

Tripod for AT-9 Dish

These tripods will accept a 2" mast which is required for the AT-9 mount.

if the tech is from the MSP or HSP programs, we are forbidden to do a bucket mount. we HAVE to do PERMANENT installs. mounted on buildings or cemented poles in the earth.

Bucket mounts kick @$$.

No chance of 50 MPH winds moving a AT9 in a 5 gallon bucket!!!

I have had a three LNB dish in a bucket mount for years and have never had to adjust it. We even had a tree blow down 15 feet from the dish and did not have any probelms. We get lots of wind here in Kansas.

I say mount it in a bucket, if the wind ever hits it it only has a fail rating of 85 mph and a 100% destroy rating at 100 mph, no problem, the wind could never move it in a bucket. Sarcasm aside, this dish is a windsail, dont use anything less than a tripod, your signal will thank you.

You guys? for heavens sake....I would like to see this dish inside a bucket. Some of you guys need a bullet in the head. I remember seeing a lot of the P*Star dishes inside bucket mounts, don't you ? Silly silly silly installers.

Dragon for heavens sake man, you have an attitude with everything I type. Some of you people are the Mrs. Cravitz's of the forum world. If a man has a 12 foot c-band inside a rubbermaid trash can, I don't even need to say anything else. He was probably throwing it away.

A post anchored with 75 lbs of concrete in a hole in the ground holds mine just fine, thank you. My 5LNB dish withstood up to 65-68 MPH gusts and 40-45 MPH sustained winds for a day with no problems. Why anyone would want to risk putting in the AT-9 without a legitimate mount of some kind is beyond me.

i was agreeing with you...and the guy was using the c-band...claimed it was solid as a rock
