Need A Little Help With 97 West Ku

[Blue Crystal]

I am using a 10 ft. C/Ku Band dish and a CaptiveWorks 800 receiver.
My LNBF is a BSC621-2 c/Ku Band .
I move my dish by hand, because the actuator arm is worn out. However, I have been pretty lucky hitting the sats I want.
I am usually on 99West sat. each time I try to go to 97west I pick up the c band side ok. When I switch to Ku band I only pick up about 9 stations. My receiver is preset for 97West as an old telstar sat. I entered the correct freq for the 97 transponders and it didn't seem to help.
I get a bleed over of from the 99west transpopnders and channels when I have my receiver set to scan 97west.
It may be my settings, the wrong LNBF for 97 or I 'm just not hitting the sat.
I reset my skew each time.
I wonder if anyone else is hitting 97 with my type of LNBF.

Sounds like your lnbf may not be skewed right for ku, there's been some threads on the difficulty of that here on the forum. If you're getting ku on 99, seems like you'd also get it on 97 since they are so close together. Could also be you're not moving dish far enough, or that you're dish isn't tracking the arc properly..

try pushing the dish to where 99 will not come in.while tuned into it. then try 97.

turbosat and madmadworld,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I will try both and see what happens.
Thanks
