help with True South

[plee33]

I have the following setup:

Captiveworks CW-600S Premium, Fortec Star 80CM dish, DM910 motor and linear Ku-band LBNF.

Can someone tell me what my True South satellite is for San Diego 92117?

 

[Mr Tony]

true south satellite is Satmex5 at 116.8 degrees (San Diego is at 117.2)

the best transponder to aim at is
12080 frequency
H polarity
25635 symbol rate

Can someone also help me with setting up my DM910 (http://www.dmsiusa.com/dm910.htm) dish motor with the Fortec 80CM dish. On the DM910 motor, it shows the elevation of the motor on one side and latitude on the other side. Which one do I use?

Also, what elevation on the dish scale do I set it to?

latitude scale...motor gets set to same latitude as your latitude

See instructions here: http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/HH-mount-installation.htm

If you have USALS, use that to move your dish.
