Hey, I received a 80CM dish kit (with dg280 motor) and something's not right.
the assembly drawing for the 80cm kit has a different mast bracket than the one I have. the one I have matches the one in the picture for the 90cm european assembly drawing. I seem to have other pole mounting stuff from the 90cm euro model. Will it all work?
If this is fine, why isn't there any notice about this?
you guys. damnit, I could have saved myself 1.5 hours if you had just put something in the box.
I found this on the website:
We have 2 versions of this dish. The only difference between the two is the mount bracket. One is a "Pole Mount" version (FC80P), and the other is a "U-Bolt Mount" version (FC80U). FC80P: The Pole mount version has a standard clamp that fits on a 1 5/8" diameter pole and works fine with a Moteck SG2100, Satcontrol, Pansat, and HH90 motor mounts. This is the default type dish that comes with our complete systems. If you want the FC80U instead, click the "Upgrade Dish" shopping cart button below. FC80U: The U-Bolt mount version has double U-bolts that allow you to mount the dish on any size post between the size of 1" - 2 1/2". This is the one to use with a STAB HH motors since it has a shaft size of 2 1/8". It also works fine with a Moteck SG2100, Satcontrol, Pansat, and HH90 motor mounts. Notice the high quality U-bolts used here for extra firm support. Competition use only 1 low quality U-bolt.
crap.. looks like I have the wrong LNBF bracket. there are two square holes on either side where the M6*45 bolts go through. the bolts also go through the slots on the mast bracket. the square holes aren't close enough, I can only get one of the bolts through everything.
well i think I see the end, but it's worth it to me to spend more money on a kit that takes less time to install and doesn't leave me with 50+ extra unused parts.
I hope you've enjoyed this valuable out-of-box experience feedback
