After weeks of planning and preparation, I have finally managed to install my Penta 85. Or rather, managed to find someone to do it. Marius5t of this forum has done a great job of putting the dish up, which took a lot of hard work and hurdles. The set up is besically 24" T&K brackets, a very long pole (9' I think), Digiquest motor and the Penta 85 dish.
The arc receivable is between 53E and 30W. We tried 45W but didn't manage, due to trees in the way. Either way, I am receiving more in London on this Penta 85 than I did in Somerset on my 1.2m Gibby. Location, location...
Here are some pics...
Now need to figure out this complicated AzBox (should have bought a DM800HD).
