Galaxy 19 help please

[Tampa Florida]

Alrighty, I'm working on it.

 

[Tampa Florida]

I made a transponder but it's the wrong satellite, it's not allowing me to use the satellite I created (galaxy 19)

 

[Tampa Florida]

You guys ARE satellite gods. I just found out how to add it to galaxy 19 now what?

 

[KE4EST]

Now you need to leave it on that and starting tweaking your dish from your base dish settings like I said in email till you get a signal on the quality bar.

 

[Tampa Florida]

Bwhahahaha! The excitement is coming back, finally feel like I'm getting somewhere

 

[Tampa Florida]

Still nothing, it's skew is supposed to be 25.1 counterclockwise i think and sw at 53.5? I'm getting zero signal

 

[Tampa Florida]

I downloaded a dish pointer to my phone and I put it in front of the lnb and it's beeping like I'm on the satellite but still no signal, I keep playing with the skew trying to fix it

 

[Tampa Florida]

Hmm

Is it just me or does that dish look like it has way too much elevation for 53.5 deg?

 

[Tampa Florida]

I was wondering that honestly but the dish pointer is showing the satellite way up there. Maybe it's faulty?

 

[KE4EST]

It may be the camera angle but it does look really high.

 

[Tampa Florida]

See

Are you aiming using the lnb support arm?

Here is my dish at 42 degrees:

There should be some sort of scale around the elevation adjustment bolts. If so, what is it set at now. There may be different calibrations on either side.
Tell us what they are if you can.

Do you have the specifications of the dish?
These 'offset' dishes will be 'looking' 22 to 27 degrees above the horizon when the dish face is vertical. So for satellite elevation 53.5 the dish face should be tipped back around 30 degrees.

 

[Tampa Florida]

See in relation to my neighbors dish?

 

[KE4EST]

The DISH 300 is designed different than yours.
That dish on the left is way too high for sure.
The deg. markings on the dish mount must be wrong or put together wrong.

Ask your neighbor what the 2 dishes are pointed at.

 

[KE4EST]

Your skew is set too far also.

 

[KE4EST]

Ask your neighbor what the 2 dishes are pointed at.

Her neighbors dish is the DISH 300 at 119.
Hers is the two that are too high.

 

[jorgek]

Ooh! Yes way too high.
