We're out in the sticks so to get decent Internet access we had to get a bi-directional satellite dish from HughesNet. We recently had technical problems and they forced us to upgrade all our hardware. They abandoned all the old stuff here. So I've got a surplused 0.8 meter dish with feedhorn electronics and a modem. The installer that came out thinks it was the surge protectors that the original installer put onto the cable harness. He suspects all the electronics are fine. The dish has a scrape where the siding guys managed to scratch it. The dish has a pipe-mount on the back. (You'd have to supply your own pipe and concrete. 8) There is no harness as they reused all the old cabling in the new installation.

I'm just looking to get it out of the yard and into a good home, I don't need money for it. But you need to come out to Warrenton, VA to pick it up! Since this is old stuff I don't think that HughesNet will let you commission it. But I suspect somebody could turn it into a setup for the ham-sats. 73, Will
