Upside down offset dish

You've set up a very nice system there, you see something like that less and less, the hobby is dying out, but it's good to see that someone keeps comin
Another question, doesn't the RC2000A controller only have 50 memory slots for satellite positions, which would be a bit small?

Just performed a quick test on Eastern Beam at 4W but I have very weak signals. Tested 10890V and 10926V, both around 2 or 3 dB, obviously very far from lock.
Maybe a deeper test would be needed.
Better situation at 25.5 East. Here I locked a frequency near 11 dB (did not remember which one), but I'm not sure if it was really 25.5 East instead of 26 East.
I must finish programming the RC2000A controller on all satellites, then I can play more comfortably. Thanks.

the tp at 11062 H 4 WEST with what margin of db do you receive it with the tbs?
thank you

Yes, only 50 slot to store satellites. I thought that it was a bit small, too. But after using it I don't think so anymore because storing some positions is not needed.
For example, I just stored 10E and 7E, and it is very easy to pick 9E from one of that points.
After reaching a satellite, RC2000A goes automatically in Manual mode. So, for example starting from 10E I press W key very briefly and I'm at 9E. Very easy.
A very important point is that RC2000A can control motorised feed, too.
I Just opened another discussion regarding RC2000A but no reply for the moment.
Anyway, I confirm this is a good setup, very happy with it after some days of testing and usage.

More pictures of my new setup, taken during the installation on the roof.

VERY impressive, does wind load not concern you with it being on the roof...? Presume thats a 2.4m CM beast.
how is it anchored under the tiles...?

 

[7mdish]

Yes it is a 2.4m CM.
Under the roof a proper concrete was built. The wind is always a threat, but we made a good job I believe.
