This is not something new - the ease of a changing polarity mod on these stock 18 GHz Hughes broadband units was looked into some years ago by forum members Vipersan & Llew - - - This is my version of making it a motorised operation controlled from the shack.
The first part of the mod is to remove the Horizontal polarity top half of the Hughes OMT, and use the bottom 'Tx' part of the OMT as a mounting 'foot' onto the main support rail for the other components. The unused ports on the OMT...
Another motorised ka band polarity project.
