[stoner2399]

Hi all I have a direcway dish will this dish and lnb work for Ku band FTA or do I need to get a new lnb also I would like to know what my true south sat is my zip code is 83501 if that helps
thanks

yes it will work just fine. If there is a transmitter on the arm of the dish, you need to bypass it.

True south for 83501 is Satmex5 (you are at 116.9 longitude and its at 116.8)

Yes direcway dish /lnbf will work for fta ku. A little undersized, but it will work
pretty well. I have one, and it is a pain to aim but once aimed it stays there.
I put mine on a pole for awhile just to try it out on G10 but found an old primestar works much better. For your true south and setup>

I'll check back when I get up its past my bed time night night all

BTW how do I bypass the transmitter?

Where the LNB is unscrew the cable right there. That should bypass the transmitter. I think there is a cable that goes from the LNB to the transmitter portion
