TV1 Minicaster Satellite Dish Pointer

A rare satellite dish pointing system, once part of a KA-SAT outside broadcast uplink van, is being offered for auction. The TV1 Minicaster unit was originally used with the Tooway KA-SAT broadband service but is compatible with other mobile satellite operations.

The equipment includes an azimuth and elevation controller with variable speed settings, operated via a wired remote control. Although designed for KA-SAT, its adaptable mounting system makes it suitable for uses such as amateur radio QO100 setups or multi-satellite receiving configurations. The control unit, which is mains-powered, converts voltage for the motorised pointer system and is fully waterproof, although typically kept indoors during use.

The listing is for the motorised pointer only and does not include a dish or the original Tooway uplink equipment, which will be auctioned separately. Due to the size of the item, the seller is offering it for collection only and is available for queries regarding compatibility or setup.
