Abstract: An antenna mount with low final lockdown pointing error characteristics especially suited for use with an antenna configuration having an offset center of gravity such as a reflector antenna. The antenna mount having a primary mount with a connecting surface for an azimuth plate; the azimuth plate coupled to the connecting surface by an az-pivot fastener; the azimuth plate pivotable about the az-pivot fastener with respect to the connecting surface; an az-lockdown fastener with an az-lockdown head coupled to the connecting surface; the az-lockdown fastener passing through the an az-lockdown slot of the azimuth plate; a retaining spacer of the az-lockdown fastener positioned in the az-lockdown slot between the connecting surface and an underside of the az-lockdown fastener head; the retaining spacer having a height greater than a thickness of the azimuth plate.

Abstract: An adjustment tool, having a body with a bore extending between a first end and a second end. A shaft is positioned within the bore having a plurality of outward spreading spring fingers coupled to a tool end. A spring biases the shaft towards the second end of the body. A collet coupled to a first end of the body has an inner surface which restricts the spring fingers to a closed position as movement of the shaft towards the second end of the body retracts the spring fingers into the collet. A bubble ring may be coupled to the body. Graduated indicia associated with the bubble ring indicates rotation of the tool for entry of precise rotational adjustments.

Abstract: A rotation indicator assembly having an inner sleeve with an outer surface surrounded by an outer sleeve. The outer sleeve seals a spiral pathway between the inner and outer sleeves. The spiral pathway is filled with at least a first material and a second material of different densities, for example a liquid and a gas.

Abstract: An antenna mount with a primary mount having a connecting surface(s) for an azimuth plate. The azimuth plate rotationally coupled to the connecting surface via an az-pivot fastener and rigidly connectable to the connecting surface via a pair of az-lockdown fasteners passing through az-lockdown slots in the azimuth plate. A pair of connection point(s) of the primary mount and the azimuth plate, respectively, movable towards and away from each other as an azimuth bolt coupling the connection points is threaded in or out of a threaded surface at one of the pair of connection points. The azimuth bolt carrying an az-bias spring compressed between the connection points biasing the connection points apart. Movement of the connection points towards and away from each other pivoting the azimuth plate with respect to the primary mount about the az-pivot fastener. Further pivot surfaces may also be added, providing an additional adjustment axis.
