I bought mine here at Amazon. Moteck Sg-2100 Satellite Dish Motor sold by Ztronic. Good company to order from. I got it 5 days after I ordered it. Hope this helps.

I know, here's a suggestion. Call C Crane and ask them. They have excellent customer service and are respectful. Also consider purchasing the antenna and trying it yourself. You can always send it back and you will know within a day or two if its right for your setup. I can say that it's stronger than the previous C Crane model because that's the one I have (the gray one). Due to the circumstances it works OK because I beefed it up using reflector home made designs that increase the signal capacity so I didn't take the step up in purchasing. Anyways hope this helps and good luck.

As an update to my previous answer, I used a Phillips antenna rotor which is identical to ChannelMasters which is then mounted to the Dish mount (dish removed). The rotor supports a short piece of antenna mast purchased at Lowes (lowes.com) which also should be available at Radio Shack. The antenna then is mounted to the mast. Again, this antenna is VERY directional, Some of my stations come in only within 5-10 degrees.

Robert, I would be happy to answer your question for you and also let you know with a phone call 360-755-0665 you can save some money.Most customers use the Minn Kota Endura 30lb thrust motor. this is sufficient for most applications. The 50lb would give you that little extra in case you got caught in a heavy wind.Ron SchmidtValley Sports and More360-755-0665

Sounds like the limit switch in the antenna motor is defective. You can unplug the power supply at the antenna motor and still be able to use the antenna. Make sure it's in the up position. Check the warranty on your purchased antenna. I personally gave up after 2 replacements did the same thing as yours. I just unplugged it.

You will need a antenna and I bought one from amazon. Look for marine antenna, it works great. Dual MAR16B Marine Flexible Mast Antenna Black, its small and works great.

Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic. Just mount the pole on the crossbeam somewhere and then aim it in the appropriate direction. In my case I bought a $10.00 pre-amp to give the signal a boost but I probably would not need it. It sounds like it will be outside. That's ok. Just a utility pole of some kind will work. I assume you will anchor it with a cement foundation, which is why mounting it inside(in the attic)works better. It is a Great Antenna and delivers HD pictures. You save money too. You won't need Cable or Satellite Dish anymore.

I use the ExpertPower 14.5 inch antenna found here on Amazon. I can't put the link though because Amazon does not allow that.

The best I can say is go to "Your Account" and at the bottom find returns and replacements. You might want to check the fuse either in-line or in the plug adapter. These can be fickle and blow out, also make sure power outlet has power and the antenna is mounted properly with good cable.

Radio shack carries a replacement. Bring in your old power cord and mach up the plug end that goes into the mount. As long as its the same amperage/voltage you should be ok. This is how i replaced mine and havent had a prob with it yet.

Go to Radio Shack and they will sell you the plug you need. Attach To radio wires

You will set it up with a F connector. Mine came with that kit. Here's the specs...http://www.antennacraft.net/Manuals/HBU_web_manual.pdf

I needed only the antenna as a replacement, not the motor. Replacement didn't fit. Perhaps the whole unit would have, but I didn't use it.

I suggest the 220 specific antenna (NA-702) made by Nagoya. They also have a few 144/440 based antennas (701/771) but they do not work well on 220.

If it is a very thin wire, then that is not normal. There should be solder pads on the board where the other motor control wires are connected. If it is a single wire coming from the board, that is the antenna and is suppose to be loose. Source: ive re-built this thing 8 times.
