[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 995037, member: 312276"] One chap is interested in fixed mount for his Channel Master 1,2m dish. He is willing to install it for one satellite only (at least by now). And this satellite is ~ 24* out of true-South azimuth, so skew of the LNB should be more than 7*. His only request for the mount is that it should be very strong and stable. Polar mount is not an option for him (I do not understand why, maybe he thinks that PM is not stable enough). He did not ask for skew, but I think skewing of the dish gives better performance. Original CM fixed mount gives possibility to align dish on azimuth and elevation, no skew. So, I am just thinking loud here: Is it only one member who needs stable fixed mount for CM dish or there could be other interested as well? What if we put some ideas together and generate proper way to go forward? When we finish with theoretical part and get common idea, I would try to do it practically reproduce this idea in metal. Practical questions for the start would be: - Is skewing of the dish is necessary at all? - Is 25* skewing of the dish will be enough for majority of possible installations? - What is proper diameter of the support pipe for such a mount? Sketch of such a mount is very welcome. [/QUOTE]
