which outer wire??wont hurt sharing pictures,that transponder has been a headache for quite a while

I was about to ask Stans whether it is the outer aluminium-like or the inner copper-like wire of the RG6 wire. The debate started about post #9674 by bubbastunna.

This is what he said..."if u have tried but not lucky ...., try this. there are different ways of killing a mouse. 1st. an rg 6 cable about 1 m. this cable will run from UA lnb to diseqc. but before connection - cut the 1 m cable 30 cm from the end. now it is time to join. look for a small piece of aluminium ( not sure ) This is for joining the inside wire. the outer one remain the same. I swear, u will not regret this. then make sure but wires do not get in contact . connect them now, try good luck"
The photos he attached also looked like the wire to join using this other small piece is the inner copper-like part of the RG6. I could be wrong. I want to try this experiment tomorrow.

Here are the photos that bubba attached then...

CRTV's sound on Eutelsat is not for the match going on. Sounds like for their normal broadcasting

That is radio. change language on your decoder.

Good Evening FTA-Nash & Mr. Dongra,

Specs/pics of my 2.4 meter offset.

Dish height 270cm
Dish width 240cm
Dish arms 200cm
Lnb arm 150cm

Initial lnb arm was 145cm minius lnb support holder

Lnb in use, Inverto ultra black quad lnb.
Dish tracked on Eutelsat 7 East A.
Using strong 4922HD receiver.
Weak frequencies on the bird 11617 V @71% signal strength while frequency 11637@69%

I want to change the lnb to Raven feed-horn with Inverto quad c120 flange black pro LNB ................

............ Keep you posted once i receive the feed-horn and lnb.

Thanks Kungu1 for the measurements and dish measurements, photos and other great information.
Just seen your post at Midnight (saturday).
Looking at the back of your dish, it is similar to the one that Dongra has. The difference is that your width is 240Cm while Dongra's is 250Cm. The Height is the same, 270Cm. And the 'Depth" of your dish?

Yesterday, Saturday 17-01-2014, at 3Pm - 9Pm, Dongra and I reworked the measurements and re-aligned the dish. Now all the 7 East TPs are streaming in at 78% quality or higher! Even the usual 'difficult' 11617-V-30000 (History, Nat-Geo and Music channels) is stable at 78% quality!
Another post to follow with the measurements and details .......
This weekend is the best we ever had in 2015!! More info coming .......

Actually when I joined with the copper, the signal dropped to 37% from 56% bt when I joined the outer wire, the meshed one, the signal jumped from 56 to 63-64% day and night, unbelievable.

strongest tp to track Astra @28 so that I can give it a try...location; equator

Good Morning Sir Thege,

In Limuru, Kenya am using a 1.5meter offset dish locked on Astra 2F + strong 4922hd receiver.

Congrats:clap2:

If i am not wrong, you are using Strong 4950H.

Thanks for the update.

Let's kill the mice🙂
There is still another way to do it with less mess which won't kill your receiver or switch....try employing a inline amplifier. It has proved to me more valuable when using the stargold Fuji for prime focus coz without it my discovery channels are not coming in despite using a 3m anntenae....it had my head scratching abit as other lnbs brought in all frequencies but with low signal strength of 67% as opposed to 75% on stargold Fuji with the line in amp attached

Connect as
follows:
......Black cable from anttenae
......White cable to the receiver

The three musketeers have the audacity to tell peeps not to buy gotv and startimes boxes.
am having fun reading all the comments on fb. hhahahahahaha, this guys have lost it.

Are the inline amplifiers available locally in Kenya?

This is nice! Where can I get it today and at how much?

or just like this photo? coz it does work too. the amplifier u r talking about didn't work with me

bubbastunna · Jan 18, 2015

it does not matter if both cables are black, all works the same. colour does not add signal, only if they r of companies

You are correct the colour doesn't matter its how the amp is conneceted to the receiver...coz if you connect wrongly you will get a signal drop 🙂 Plus judging by your pic that's a diseq switch....a line amp has two ports ie in an out....

The amps are available in luthuli sat shops in Nairobi

yeah, I was saying that diseqc also works if u connect it that way. I had also connected line amp sometime back but did not work. tx

You can use analog satellite finder as a line amplifier

Freddy, in your inline amp set up, are you using the diseq switch? If yes, what position is the switch in relation to the LNB/receiver? That will be helpful before we embark on the project

Bubba, in that set-up, please explain the path. How does the connection move from the LNB to the receiver/decoder?
