[domo324]

VS utral lite and GEOSAT pro 90cm statellite dish with universal Ku-Band linear LBNF (GSL1u-Bullet), try to hit Echo9 (121W), set the Elevation and LNB Skew according to dishpointer.xxx, spend 4 hours but no luck, got over 80% S but 0 Q, I also attached a pic from dishpointer. Live in ND. please help, thanks a lot.

Here is the settings

Satellite--------------Ecostar 9 121.0 W
Lnb------------------on
Lnb Type-------------Universal
Lnb High--------------10600
Lnb Low--------------9750
Tp Freq---------------11724
Disceq 1.0-------------none
Motor------------------off
Legacy Sw-------------none

Aslo please recommend a bird which is easy to hit with a linear LBNF?

are you working with a fixed system or motorized?

If motorized you'd want to aim at your true south instead of 121 (dont know why you picked that...do you mean 123?)...NoDak would be a true south of 97 through 103 depending on where ya are

Also, that transponder on 121 isnt active..see thelist for active transponders

what other stuff do you have (ie: motor maybe?)

if its a fixed system, what satellite did ya want to aim at?

Thanks a lot, it's a fixed system and want to aim at EchoStar 9/Galaxy 23, what I should set for lnb High, lnb Low and Tp Freq?

What channels are you trying to get ?

 

[Mr Tony]

There is nothing on 121 other than "you have a dish at 121"

In fact I just want to try my dish/lbn set, so any channels or satellite works for me. can you recommand which satellite is easy to point?

There's nothing worthwhile on Ku-Band at 121w, but there's plenty on C-Band. He might be looking at those channels on Lyngsat, not realizing that they are C-Band.

Four digit frequency numbers are C-Band, and those channels will require at least a 6 foot dish and a C-Band LNB.
