the dish above is a standard zone 2 sly dish by raven I believe , but the arm has been adapted
what you require is either the triax dish of at least 80cm with the trioax 4 way lnb rack and also the slimpline alps lnbs , or the gilbertini version with 4 way lnb rack and again the slimline alps lnb,s , or the WAVE FRONTIER 90CM TOROIDAL dish and slimline lnbs
Thanx echelon for your answer!I am live in Slovenia and I already have the noname 80cm satellite dish,but I look for the better one,becouse in my place sometimes the wind is strong and this dish is not stable enought.You give me already some answers about the correct dish,but I also look for the small posible size of the dish,becouse I can put it in my balcony.For my location the Latitude is: 46.213°
Longitude: 14.649°
With this noname 80cm dish I can get all 4 satellites really well,but I need the better dish and if is posible with 70 cm of size.
the only 70cm dishes I have heard of are the raven gemini 70cm dish
I suggest you google for the words "70cm satellite dish" and see what comes up
personally I havent seen or used one myself
Yes,you are right.Raven satellite dish is the only one.I will order this dish .I hope that I am not fail with my choice.I know the size is 80 cm,but looks like that signal is really good.

The 13E, 16E, 19E three degree spacing limit can often be achieved by turning the centre LNB upside down if it is the body that causes the problem.
Obviously, you need to add a lot more waterproofing to the connector(s) though.
iam thinking of having a go at this cant get my 800 to work with a motor
iam currently pointed at 1 west with a 90cm dish if i make an extension arm would i be able to pick up 13 19 & 28 in in n/west near wigan
its unlikely to work if you are pointing at 1w , as thats a bit far away from the others and you are expecting around a 30 degree spread whereas most dishes can "see" about 24 degrees at best which is 5e to 28e approx , or 13e to 42e approx
you can use 13e , 19e and 28e by having 19e as the focus of the dish , but to achieve 1w as well you would probably need one of those special dishes with a double collector ( Force Toroidal Multibeam Satellite Antenna , or maybe its a force frontier , not sure )
How do you stop the dish mounted on the pallets from blowing over in the wind Goran? Have you bolted them to the roof?
hey echelon.
I've a spare arm from another 60cm dish I can carve at. I'd have to secure it with a bracket or something so i'd just have a wonder around B&Q with the arm to see what might do the trick.
cheers for the tips on my other post. I was wondering...
When you got the three birds on your 59cm dish, how much did you extend the lnb arm? (i.e how much longer-ish do was the replacement step ladder arm) Sorry I know it was a long time ago, I'm just wondering if its worth having a play with
Cheers

those details are in the thread I posted at the time, that warranted this thread as a response (post 1 hints at the other thread)
find the other thread and you find those details too
its also mentioned in posts #11 and #12 so you havent read through this thread properly either !!
alternatively, double what you have and then have an amount poking through the back of the dish (variable)
suitably placed fixing holes along the side would allow in and out adjustments until you get the right focal point, like I did
I have a feeling its was a similar length to a zone 1 arm added to a zone 2 arm, give or take an inch or two
you could possibly use some pared hardwood offcut to marry the 2 arms together and black japanned fixing screws to hold them
if necessary use metal brackets like you get from car spares shops, like angle iron only it has no angle, a bit like old meccano
its improvisation city when doing this job, which is why you think outside the box
just checked the arms in my garage and the zone 2 is 13 inches and zone 1 is 9 inches , making 22 inches added together
the modified stepladder arm is 20 inches long, so I wasnt far out on my last post
as you can see its 7 inches longer than the normal zone 2 arm and 11 inches longer than a zone 1 arm, this makes a massive difference in what can be achieved
other members on here used angle iron types of bracketing or similar methods to extend the original zone 2 arm to the required length, but best to use aluminium for this if the correct size box section cannot be obtained
I had 4 pieces of box section after cutting down the stepladder and still use the same stepladder now in 2012, albeit its not as high as it once was
so 20 inches on a zone 2 is what you are aiming for, or change to an 80cm or 88cm dish like I did eventually (bought one secondhand with slimline lnb,s)
I also have an old 80cm lenson heath dish and bracket in the garage that would be suitable for such a project, and as its a side arm wall fixing like a zone 2 its not really suitable for motorisation (it doesnt have any elevation adjustment bracketing at all as its done on the side arm) which is why I changed from it to a triax td110 many, MANY moons ago
I also found 2 zone 1 dishes in the garage and will be getting back a modified zone 2 (with monoblock) at the weekend when that dish is changed to a motorised one (elsewhere not here)
just to clarify - my original deliberations are here

the 1 st picture on this thread has a 2" extention, and worked well.
have moved since then, and the dish is only 3 way, at the moment, as couldn't get 42e and keep a decent signal on the others,
Also before it was at standing height so easy to tweek, now its on a chimney, so a lot harder to tweek whilst looking at a TV screen
