Commercial Dish Pointing Question...HELP!!

[justsatellites]

I am installing a "Echo Sat" dish for a grocer client. I am going to have to move the dish to another location. The dish aims at AMC9 W85 this satellite is not programmed into my Bird Dog, nor is it listed on the avalible downloads. Someone tell me how to find this bird WITHOUT a Spectrum Analyzer. Suggestions.

AMC 9 is where AMC 2 used to be. Is AMC 2 programmed into your Bird Dog?

No, unfortunatly there is no programming position available for AMC 2 either. The closest bird that is available for the "dog" is AMC3 @ 87 degrees. There is nothing available @ the 85 degree slot. Just my luck.

There is an analog test card on Tp19 on AMC9

color bars and test tone

a long time ago i had someone ask me to move a dish one used to get stock reports, i had no way to detect the sat. that it was aiming at, so i got a direct tv dish used 2 temp. clamps used them to connect the direct dish to the stock report dish zeroed in the direct dish with my little sat finder. got to the new local pointed to the direct bird it worked. this is not a joke! sometimes you should just step back and think you might find you know more than you thought you did.
