12ftr. Aquired!!

According to the screen shot you might have the LO setting wrong, should be C-band 5150 instead of "Standard" which is 11750 for Ku. That way if you have transponders already programmed they should work as long as the dish is lined up etc.

I don't have that particular receiver but on the Amiko receivers I have, when a C-Band satellite is selected the Standard default LNB LO is 5150.

ok guys....have the dish driven to the highest point...have tried to get 87w but I have a good feeling that the dish is aimed a bit high and I am above the arc..no signal yet...any good advice?

Sure thing.

Yes I agree with you there...I have changed it from "standard" to 5150 just to see if it made any difference, and it defaults back to standard which is one in the same I feel.

Any luck with the meter now?

still working with it....have the elevation set, checked the LNB to insure the probes were lined up correctly, hooked up the meter and shows 79-80% Q but nothing else....and it beeps on occasion, not sure what that is, next is too get the dish lined up true south and rotate it on the pole like you had recommended and see where that gets me.
