Need helpful tips to tuning in Satellites Telstar 5 & G10R

[BubahJim]

Hello Satellite Guys,

I am a newbie to this hobby and I am having some difficulty finding satellites. My system includes a Traxis 2500, a Winegard 2076, a Fortec Universal LNB and a SG2100 Motor. I have already AMC 4. Any Hints???

Thanks for any help!

Welcome Jim!
I moved this to the FTA section. Someone should be able to help you out

 

[PSB]

Give us your zip code Jim and we can give you all the angles you need to get that system set up!

Nice to have you here at SatelliteGuys.US!
