hello. my name is jjb. I need help setting up my dish. I have a pansat2700a motoriz system. with a fortec dish. I need to know my true south satellite location and its name. im from salt lake city zip.84128 . please help me set my dish up
 
Hello,
Your true south satellite is Anik F2 at 112 degrees. I recommend not setting the motor up at first, but to first find your true south satellite, mark the pole, then set the motor up.

Your dish elevation will be 42.83.

I am pretty sure this is a live tp on anik f2,

freq 11812 polarity v symb 6260

This scans in as "cars" it is scrambled (no video) but i can hear audio on it.

thanks for this info. i will go home and try to set dish. also one other thing b-4 setting dish. my lnb is a low freq duel lnb with 2 out put ends. how does it hook up to disegc switch and motor. I think its hooked up right at this time. I just want to make sure.
 
Your dish elevation will be 42.83. I would use a starchoice tp to aim the dish, try frequency 11880 Horizontal 19510 symbol rate. You wont see any channels there, but that tp should work fine for aiming the dish and getting signal quality
Doc that is a DCII signal. There is a couple scrambled DVB channels there...let me check tonight to see if I can find them.

Hey Iceberg,
Oops, didnt notice that, darn it. Wont it still show as an active tp though for signal strength/ quality?
 
I cant fine a signal on anik f2, I think my lnb wireing is not hooked up to my motor right please correct me, I have a duel lnb with 2 out puts. I have one cable from one out put to #1lnb on the diseqc swicth and the other cable to #2lnb on diseqe
switch and from reciver out put @ diseqe switch to lnb on motor and from reciver out put@ motor to reciver, please correct me if this is wrong, my manul shows no diseqc swith in installation instructions so im lost, thank you
 
There are NO FTA channels on this satellite!

There is no clear signals but there are a couple data signals that can help you aim (wont get anything if you scan)

11860 freq
V polarity
10000 symbol rate

Just checked with the Coolsat...solid signal but no channels
 
Same as your Longitude AMC-9 @ 83ºw
