Amc9

[gopher2]

AMC9 i thought was my due south satellite
i am at 83.0, 42.5
according to lyngsat its still at 83.0W
but in a recent post it is mentioned to be at 85.0W !?
any ideas?
also is there still a full tile analog test card up there?
i only ask cuz its a pain in the butt to hook up the analog reciever

amc9 is still at 83
there is a test card (analog) at TP19

one to see maybe if working is 11775 H 4232

other option would be to use Nimiq2 (82) as the true south...you would need a DBS LNB for that (and to change LO frequency to 11250)

sweet thanks!

 

[Mr Tony]

in all honesty..instead of trying the analog, I would use Nimiq2...its strong enough that 1 degree isnt going to make a difference

 

[gopher2]

Is there any linear on Nimiq 2 ?
on lyngsat it looks likes it circular

OOPS you just said it
nevermind..

 

[Mr Tony]

Nimiq 2 is circular...I didnt know if you had a DBS LNB to get it set, then swap out to linear

Is the test card still there? I looked last night and was not able to see it.

I found it. It may have moved since the last time I saw video on it?

I think i am having troubles with my motor mount/brackets
before i tighten the bolts i can lock onto some strong signals
as soon as i start tighting the bolts i the motor and dish move and i loose signal
should the square u bolt be pulling the bracket by the bracket holes on the side
or should it be touching only the verticle middle spline where the bracket touches the pole
