The mountings supplied with the dish are suitable for mounting onto poles of between 60 and 90mm. The LNB clamp is suitable for both 23 and 40mm collar LNBs. Elevation angle is adjustable from 15° to 45°. The SG2100 DiSEqC 1.2 H-H mount from Moteck is for use with DiSEqC 1.2 compatible receivers.

It can handle up to a 1.2m dish and is suitable for use with the Vision range of dishes. The length of the motor tube is 18cm, the motor will cover 75° East to 75° West, it has a manual control button for driving the dish east and west during installation and a power on LED.

The SRTL915 Universal LNB from Strong is housed in a high quality light grey waterproof plastic case and the LNB cap is yellow. The SRTL915 has a 0.6dB noise figure with a frequency range covering 10.7-12.75GHz, the local oscillators are 9.75/10.6GHz and the LNB has a 40mm feed.

By combining these three items together with a suitable satellite receiver you have a motorised system that caters for the enthusiast as well as the beginner, which will allow them to receive the more difficult satellites as well more common ones.
