97W help...

[hillsmi]

Having a little trouble with 97W.

We moved, and needed to relocate the dish. It is a 36" generic I have used for years. My wife uses it for all the Glorystar channels.

The required transponder is 11842 for all her desired channels. But I am having some difficulty with locking in. I am using a FirstStrike FS1 meter with settings of 11842, a SR of 22000 and Horizontal 18. Using a universal LNB and have that set at 10750. 22K is off.

I was able to pick up 12177 almost immediately with a S of 90 and Q of 63. However, I just can't seem to locate 11842 for a lock.
How far apart are these two transponders? Is 11842 east or west of 12177? Dishpointer leads me to 204 degrees with an elevation of 38.

If I can get 12177 so well, shouldn't 11842 be right there?

Any suggestions? I fiddled around with this for over 30 min before giving up for the night.

Thanks

If using a universal LNBF set your LO to 10600 and 22k on.

Will give that a shot tomorrow and report back. Thank you.

Yes. You don't need to move the dish to get different transponders. If dish is aimed correctly, all transponders should likely be received. I notice 12177 is vertical and 11842 is horizontal. Are you receiving other horizontal transponders?

But how come that he received 12177 with LOF still set at 10750, then?

12177-10750+10600 = 12027, so that would be near 12028, but that is H 22000 5/6; unlike V 2300 (edit: should be 23000) 3/4 of 12177... so that's no option that he received that ???

What am I missing, here? I'd like to know!

That is a very good question. As he had 22k off so it would be 12177-10750+9750=11177.
