    Default Hughes Satellite Internet System

    A friend has just dumped a Hughes Ku band dish and modems at my shed. I have no use for it, but is it of any use at all, or do I consign it to the tip?

    Modems are DW3-R1 and DW4-T1, with power supply and all cables. Dish is plastic oval shaped with feed horn, mast, etc.

    Take pictures of it and put it in the BS forum. Might get something for it.

    Yep, it's always got a good home here if you don't want to pay the tip fees.

    Probably even swap it for a more useful hobbiest dish and LNC etc.

    You should use it and see if you can contact ET
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    Sounds like Bigpond Vsat equipment - 74 or 98 cm dish with 1watt transmitter and single polarity LNB. The modems are separate transmitter and receiver indoor units. These were bloody expensive when new, but somebody out there might need spare parts.

    Sorta thought that when I saw it. I'll take some pics and put it on the B & S section. Might be useful to someone. It was found in a country tip, so probably been some farmers setup.

    Cheers

    Pretty useless now, although the dish & buc are usable for Orionsat or Reachnet sat internet.

    I got a use for them, but I only got as close as Yass last week
    Sooner or later I'll be passing by if you still have it. I might have something worthwhile to swap for it

    Yes, 14.000 - 14.500GHz.
    They require some special signals to control them.

    Good for satellite piracy, not much good for anything else unless you're prepared to spend some time reworking the RF section.

    Hi Glenhuon. Sorry, but I'm a bit late on this. Very late. I don't need the mount bracket now, as I found one that will fit it. Thankyou.
