    Which dishes REALLY work with SM3D22?

    I have a Winegard DS2076 76cm dish, and I cannot figure out how it's supposed to fit onto a SM3D22.

    The dish elevation axis bolt fits through the azimuth shaft quite nicely (and ensures that the disk is square on the shaft.) I had to tweak the dish clamp to completely close on the too-narrow azimuth shaft.

    But here's the kicker: How are we supposed to set the elevation of the dish? The shaft angle keeps you from doing anything other than parallel with the shaft. I have the same model dish on an SG2100 without difficulty, but the geometry of this H-H won't let me set the dish elevation.

    I'm going to use this on a Fortec-Star dish that I have somewhere else (and provides more clearance from the elevation control).

    Our good sponsor claims that this mount will work with
    Winegard dishes, so I would love to see photos of a solution for a Washington, DC installation.

    Anyone else out there deal with this combination before?

    Well, that's one choice

    That's the same combination that I plan to use also. I just wish Sadoun provide more information on dish compatibility other than the brand names. I would have ordered an SG2100 instead.

    Sadoun, you there? How about updating the product page to clarify which dishes are really compatible?

    Sadoun really does rock, but there is always room for improvement.

    Waiting for my eBay sales to go through so I can buy more stuff!
