EME rig details
Following pictures schow details of my EME gear.
| This dish was formerly used by a Sat TV ground station near Lucerne / Switzerland. I added some other surplus items. |  |
| The azimut gear and bearing comes from a wheel subassembly of the famous Swiss Army truck called Duro |  |
| The elevation readout is finally done by a HP digital encoder |  |
| The azimut readout is done in the same manner as the elevation. Both encoders are connected to a VE1ALQ interface and the tracking is controlled by a F1ENH board. |  |
| The PA for 23cm, the PS for the 3cm TWT and the drive controls are located in the basement 7m away from the dish. |  |
