97 West Scanning Question

[electric gypsy]

I just setup a 39" dish and found Galaxy 25 (97 west) and did a blind scan on it with a coolsat 5000 and I think I get most of the stations. When I compare the tp freq I scanned with the tp freqs in your list or langsat they do not match. For example in my scan I have tp 12151 which is not on the list posted here - 12152 is on it. Am I doing something wrong?

It's common to have small frequency variations one way or the other, don't worry about it.

most LNB's have a drift factor of 1-3mhz especially when doing a blind scan

good example is Ohio News Network on H2 (74)
documented info is 11733 frequency
When I blind scan I've scanned it at +-2 mhz (11731 through 11735)..right now its logged as 11735

Thanks

Is blind scanning the best way to scan this satellite?

As I mention above I think I got most of the stations however I am missing some like Tapesh TV on tp 15152. When I blind scan I do not pick it up.

How can I get it? Can I manually add it or is there another way?

Most recievers do allow you to manually add channels but I have never used a coolsat so I don't know how with your reciever.

Check and see if you have the option to scan the single transponder, 12152 H . That may do the job. If not you will have to figure out how to do manual PID entry and enter the values given on Lyngsat.
vpid=44
apid=45
pcr=44
