Hi all
So after getting a dish sorted thanks to purplemarina
I now have a 1.2 meter channel master dish and polar mount but I’m in need of a actuator also need an LNB
 
Do you have a channel master feedhorn, which connects to a c120, or flange LNB?

Your motor/positioner depends on your setup, but I would advise a decent 36" actuator, which should provide a decent satellite arc.

I found a 36" is just more than enough for a 1.8m polarmount system running full East/West, though it is the superior IRTE type.

Try to locate an official feedhorn for the reflector, it makes all the difference, plus no more unscrewing the clamp screws.
 
A long neck LNB will be fine to begin with. My CM feed horn came with a couple of SMW singles which were at the time comfortably beaten by a universal Inverto Black Ultra. If you want a feed horn then there's one on eBay:

The LNB is probably single band, single polarisation so no good for general use.

Hi thanks for reply
No I don’t have one but I’d be happy to buy one if you have one I’ve no idea what I need I was just going to get a universal lnb to start but want it to be a bit future proof
I’m going to use my old maspro sac 80 positioner I’ve had for about 25 years
Any info greatly appreciated
