Re: [WISPA] Remotely Adjusted Dish Mount

2010-04-25 Thread Robert West
Actually found pretty close to what I was looking for.  Motorized mounts 
made for Free to Air satellite dish.  Under a hundred bucks, can't beat 
that!

Won't take much to modify.  Always good.

Re: [WISPA] Remotely Adjusted Dish Mount

2010-04-25 Thread ralphlists
I have a QuickSet az-el mount that actually is designed for the top of your
mast. http://www.quickset.com/pages/pan_tilt_positioners/62.php 
I also have a 35 foot Wil-burt mast.  See http://ralphfowler.com for a pic
of a unique installation in the bed of my S10 pickup.  I never bothered to
put the Quickset mount on it- I used a camera PTZ mount.

I will gladly fix you up with the Quickset.  I have the mount and the
control box but the cable was cut so you will have to figure out how to wire
it up. Hit me offlist.

I'm looking for a dish mount that can be remotely adjusted while the mast is

It's a Celestron C14 mount I swapped out but I wouldn't be able to use that, 
just the stepper motors, I think.  but yeah, even with that I'm sure the 
weather would eventually kill them.

Thanks for the link.  Give me some ideas.

You'd just wreck the telescope mount unless it is a really robust unit.  I
used one of the Yaesu units to track satellites at my ground station.  They
were under computer control and there was a 2.4 G dish, a 40 element UHF
Yagi and a 20 element VHF Yagi, along with a beefy fiberglass cross boom.
It took hurricane Charley to destroy the setup.

Yikes, I just looked and the Yaesu units are over $600 now.  This fellow

Not exactly sure what you're looking for, but Yaesu makes some really nice

are a lot of cheap TV antenna type rotators.

Subject: [WISPA] Remotely Adjusted Dish Mount

I recently acquired an 80 foot Super Heavy Duty Will-Burt telescopic mast
with the goal for dual use of A) Site Survey and B) Emergency use during AP
failure.

I'm looking for a dish mount that can be remotely adjusted while the mast is
extended.  I haven't seen anything in my searches, wanted to know if anyone
is using such a thing or have any recommendations of something they have
seen.

It's a cool toy so I gots to at least make the wife think I'm really gonna
use it.
