Your in Luck
i do this all the time for a living
OK, this is what you need
1. Make sure you car has a Tow Bar
2. a Small Trailer and some rope
3. Yourself and a Freind or two (don't do it on your own, Unless you've taken down at least 20 or so of these things and you know how to do it yourself...... I still use 2 Guys to take
Down C Band Dishes)
now, you have 2 ways to go about this
You can
1. Disassemble the entire dish and Support Post
or
2. You can Seperate the Dish itself from the support post
if you choose Number 2,
then.. Load the dish (Assebled) in the back of your trailer and secure it with the ropes
the rest of the stuff you can just throw in the trailer as well
if you choose to disassemble the whole thing
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO RE-ASSEMBLE IT
to Disassemble it, You'll need 2 Large Shift Spanners
Some Power Tools, Phillips Head bits etc
the first thing you do is take the dish down from the support stand, Cut the RG6 Cable that runs from the LNB to the Set Tob Box, before you take down the dish (or Just disconnect it from the LNB)
next.. on the ground disassemble it.
take off the LNB cover first (3 screws , Phillips head)
take off the LNB (3 Screws Phillips Head)
this will make the Dish Arms go Loose , Now remove them from the Dish
if it has it.. Remove the Centre Plate in the middle of the dish
Now remove the metal bit that holds the dish onto the pole from the back, You'll need 2 big Adjustable wrenches
Next.. Disconnect the Wedges from Each other You'll have about 6 or 8 wedges total
normally you need your cordless drill for this, it takes some time
and.. that's pretty much it
re -assemble in reverse
Depending on Size, Let's assume it's a 1.8Metre Dish, You could be looking at about 50Kg or so
NOW .. CONSIDER THIS
if you take it down in high winds, Your going to have a problem... BE REALLY REALLY CARFEULL
if you drop it, and bend it, You can't just bend it back into shape and expect it to be ok (doesn't always work that way)
Use 2 or 3 guys, work Slowly and BE SAFE
the hardest part is..
1. When you first remove it from the pole, and you get that free fall feeling from the dish, of having no support.............. you need to control that with a few guys
2. Getting it to the ground (thankfully your not taking from a roof, therefore you don't need to worry about your footing on roof tiles)
PM me if you need help with this
NOW. REGARDING RETUNING
You need to know what your doing
You need a Spectrum Analyzer (A Good One, not a shit one) that does DVB-S/DVB-S2
You need to know what satellite you want to point to
You need to know it's geostationary orbital postion in the sky
you can look the satellite up on LYNGSAT
you need to know you LNB L.O. Frequency, Most Likely 5150
You need to know what Frequency you want to scan IN
you need to know Your Forward Error correction (FEC)
You need to know your symbol Rate
You need to know your Polarisation
You need to know how the spectrum looks in Vertical 13 Volts and in Horizontal 18 Volts , otherwise you'll be crossed Polarised and wont know why you can't get a signal
there's a lot to it
and if you don't have a spectrum analyzer, Your pretty much , shit out of luck
