Thank you Jw2016...I have a 90cum KU dish also but I can't get those transponders either. The sight on both dishes are clear so no obstacles blocking them.
AMC 124.9 W KU Band

Thank you one more time, armadillo_115...So you recommend to perform a detailed blind scan instead normal scan? Let me try that. I will let you know the results.
A normal scan will only check transponders that are already scanned in.
A blind scan takes a bit longer but it starts with a clean slate and scans the frequency range "looking" for transponders.
Once a transponder is found it logs it and then scans it for receivable channels.

I still have the same problem...only a few transponders at 101,124.9 and 131 W satellites. I have move the dishes slightly but no changes I have gotten.
I got no solution for my issues...I have done everything you guys have told me but nothing...The only thing that I haven't done is to replace the LNBF combo by just a KU LNB.
Translation: It is easy when antenna dish is low and with linear lnb.(or best I could do)
Please, make all posts in English. (Por favor, haga todos los mensajes en inglés).
farwest5050, Montana PBS I view (changed in the last two months) on 3983 V 2398. I know the reception of the station is "weak" and was a tad-notch further west?
I view PBS-- East, West, Create, FNX, World, and HD03-"Feed" on 3720 (if I'm looking at the right number) V 30001.

For one you have something entered incorrectly. 3720 would be a C-Band frequency. You need to set your LO(Local Oscillator) Frequency to either 10750 or 10600.
This will depend on what LNBF you are using.

KE4EST, I just changed my LNB to 10750 (according to the provided spec). Now, I've got 12180 V 30001 for all PBS channels other than Montana, 11917 V 2398. (I had noticed it scanned C-band today, when I didn't know about the LNB setting, till you mentioned it and I looked up the spec in my notes.) Is it worthwhile to manually change the frequency and symbol rate being that they are one digit off; Blind scan set those numbers?
I do notice MT PBS is coming in nearly 20% stronger than it did prior to say June 2017.

No, as long as it is working leave it be.
The reason you will get a different number can be a couple of different reasons.
For one the receiver tuner may not be spot on, so that is how it is seeing it. So nothing is wrong it just picked it up a digit off.
Second reason for numbers to be off a digit or two, is the same above but for the LNB(F).
The LNB may not be spot on, so it will see it a digit or so off.
Any how you are good now!
