[MonkeyCMonkeyDo]

Hello to everyone here at satelliteguys...

I new here and also a newbie with FTA too. I need help...please someone help me.

I bought my Pasat 2700A complete system from Eman Technology. The package includes the following:

Complete System Includes

* Pansat 2700A Digital FTA Receiver
* Receives all FTA channels, works on Ku or C-bands Remote controller with English Menu
* Winegard 30 inch (80cm) off-set dish
* Twin Ku band 0.5dB LNBF
* Programmed satellite receiver for IA5Ku FTA's

I tried to get to the Telstar 5 for the Thai, Korea, and the Asia channels. I know that the Sat. lng is 97".0W ; Az(t) is 192.2 ; and the El is 38.3. I live in Appleton, WI 54914 and my position is 44.2710N ; 88.4326W and M.Decl. is -3.44.

I placed my Dish on the roof of my garage and tried to aim it to the direction of 192.2 degree and I think I did have the dish aim in an angle of 38 degree toward the sky too. However, I can not get anything at all on the receiver.

I don't know if I set my dish and receiver correctly. Please someone help me setup my Pasat 2700A? I don't know what I did wrong.... I know that I must done something not correctly tho...

I Lost...Pleaseeeee Help me.... Thank you all for reading my post... I hope to get some tips for you all.

WELCOME to the SatelliteGuys.US FTA forum!





What brand of LNBF do you have? Any numbers on it?

To find the satellite you MUST enter a LIVE transponder into the receiver and watch for signal QUALITY as you point the dish, it maybe an idea to have a small TV with you hooked to the receiver with you when pointing!

Here is a LIVE transponder from IA-5 that you can use. It may well already be listed on your receiver!

DFreq. = 11836

POL. = V

S/R. = 20765

If you have a compass use Magnetic south and do not stand anywhere close to the dish or anything metallic!


One last tip! If you think you are close to a satellite try a Blind scan!

Thank you for your replied PSB, I will try your suggestion.

The Brand of my LNBF is Orion Ku2LP. The description on it say:
Ku-Band LNBF
RF:11.70/12.20 GHz
IF:950/1450 MHz
LO: 10.750 GHz
Gain:55 dB
Noise Figure: 0.5dB

Any help will greatly appreciate.

Its a Standard LNBF so make sure the L.O. (LNB Freq.)is set to 10750

Thank you soooo much PSB, I got it to work now. However, I got only 12 channels. What can I do to receive more channels? My dish is in a fix position. Any tips will be greatly appreciate again. Once again, thank you PSB.

Maybe try entering some transponders manually, with an advanced or PID scan!
