<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=076503022-04052004> I have done this with a
galaxy/austar dish and it apperes to work ok, I used cat 5 to extend the
USB but i can only get 12m withouout proping the power up. If you take the blue
plastic case off the board you will see the rouned end of the circuit board has
the 2 strips for the antenna i simply folowed then till i found the take off
point for the antenna, or you could just solder on where you cut the track for
the origional strips. Then all i did was the normal mod on the dish and soldered
a cable from where I had picked up off the board to the antenna pcb,
mounted the spirit pcb after extending the usb with cat 5 into the plastic
housing aligning the led with the hole that the f conector used to go through so
that you can see the status of it. (the hole has a pice of glass bonded in it to
keep it water proof). I assembled the antenna and it seems to work ok
though I have only tested it over about 1km so far.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
