Hi Graham
I have a PACE receiver here which i got at a cheap
price , good thing my local BBS receives mail from
all over the world or i would not have seen your
message . I think useful info should be sent WW and
not sent to a restricted area , i've been wondering
what use i could put it to. Sorry if resending your
message WW offends you.
Brian

>My little input to more TECH subjects needed on packet.
>Did you know that an old anologue sattelite unit can be used
>to receive 24cems atv ?
>With them becoming redundant because of digital tv,
>you can pick them up for next to nothing,
>and whats more you do not have to get inside to convert
>them.
>Use the handset to switch off the power to the LNB
>as putting a 23cem folded dipole will short out the
>power supply.
>As most ham atv repeaters use 6 mhz sound, it
>will need reseting to 6mhz mono.
>sattelite receivers I have tried
> PACE PRIMA
> PACE APOLLO
> both work well
> at my atv station i use a PACE Mss 500
>it works just as well but has 2 LNB inputs
>and I have a dish on the other input you can turn off
>the power to them seperately.
> All you are doing is using the unit as an open IF
>by putting a aerial on instead of a dish.
> I am about 7 miles from my local repeater GB3TM
>and can get a good picture on a home made bow tie aerial.
>so if there is a 24cem repeater near you, have a play,
>you can have fun without it costing a lot.
