Can anyone recommend an 18inch actuator with silent operation to drive a channel master 1.2m dish , the one i've got is slightly noisy at night , dont want to disturb the neibours.

all the cheap ones are noisy some have suggested slowing down the actuator diseqc motors are quieter but not recomended with the andrews dish

Unfortunatly not the only way to drive a dish of that magnitude with a quiet motor is the h-h supermount motor its a wee bit expensive but does the trick
