Satllite stands above the guttering

[Car123]

What brackets do u guys use for ur 1meter dish above the guttering 3 inch pole or 2 inch pole just asking been a lot of wind round near me do u guys use t and k brackets as well thanks car

 

[kegnkiwi]

With all this wind we are having I would hate to have a dish above the roofline. Mine was once above the roofline and the flexing of the pole was terrible. I soon got it repositioned to lower levels.

 

[Car123]

I was wandering weather a 3 inch pole might make a difrence

 

[Car123]

Would say the dish wants a 3inch pole putting up or just leave it with the 2inch pole the wind blows it thow

 

[barney115]

not your 3 meter dish then Pinocchio ???

Pole is fine but why not Disecq motor ??
the actuator is obviously adding more stress and weight and keeping dish further to exposed high winds
a small dish like that will shake like it has epilepsy , the very least you can do is move it all further down the pole 15 inches
you have still plenty of room to move down dish and Arm a lot more ,
T & K Brackets is preferred option but what you already have is not an issue since its double clamped .
Adding thicker pole still not gonna change as lot IMHO
Ground mounted dishes are not troubled by any sort of wind ....and on top of that its not a mission to climb up ladders and make any adjustments when ground mounted you can have any issue fixed in a moment regardless of weather .
@kegnkiwi is 100%

The Diseqc motors don’t last 2min with high winds I found out this high up

 

[kegnkiwi]

I got some aerial lads to put my first dish up it was way above the roofline and i live on a hill facing south. In the first storm it flexed that much that the t & k brackets came loose. I was out on a ladder in the rain at night trying to tighten it up. I got wakey sat to change my set up to a L bracket and moved it down onto a south facing wall. The motek 2300 motor has been up i bet 14 years. Its turns out i can use ground mounts from my position and when i can be bothered i pull out the 1.3m dish and set it up usually on 7w.

 

[Car123]

I’ll try moving the dish down a bit like u suggest see if I can get 39 east moving the dish down might block 39 east I’ll have to see I’ll have to the rain to stop and wind

 

[Car123]

It’s all sorted now works perfect left the dish were it was in the first place the wind s have been 55pluse round hear it doesn’t bother it now it just wanted A good titen up in places it just show u if every is slack

 

[Car123]

the dish is gabertini and polar mount and both the same the dish is a1.1 with a 12 inch jack. So there both go together and I find the polar mounts and motor jacks handle the wind a lot better than the crap diseconomies motors that don’t last I had 3 of them

 

[barney115]

Should have used washers .
Disecq motors are fine they last 10+Years but putting dish above roof gutter is asking for problems ,
no good genuine installer would ever be that stupid to do such an amateur job like that to begin with : )
is almost as daft and retarded as someone claiming to have a 3 meter dish when they obviously do'nt

 

[Car123]

Watching the tv the wind tonight is 60 pluse no problem at all well that is amazing. Isn’t it well making no difrence at all I Newington was right polar mount are better. IM SORTED great peace of kit

 

[Car123]

What do u guy think of my set up then any comments then

 

[Car123]

Could u guys send some pic in of ur set up ie dish s like iv done are u intrested Barney 115 of letting me see u set up then I could do with a good laugh

 

[barney115]

Trust me i already got a great laugh from your amateur setup i was expecting the 3 meter dish bit all i saw was a flimsy little dish on a botched Feed horn intended for an actual REAL Satellite dish and a little toy 12 inch Actuator arm and not even a proper polar mount ..FFsake

Where is that 3 Meter hiding then Pinocchio ???
You BS and lie just like you type and spell ...learn to at least do one properly at least is my advise

 

[Car123]

Could show me what a proper polar mount looks like then for a satllite dish then have u got one

 

[barney115]

since you asked nicely ....
I HAVE Three Polar mounts in fact and i'm not Bullshitting anyone unlike yourself : )
This is my 1.2 meter Channel master using and testing a light Actuator arm during the summer months -> my smallest Satellite Dish
