Sat freq.

[Larry D.]

Hi... Very new to all this, But I have a Fortec Lifetime Classic n/a and everything Working OK, But Trying to find a Particular satellite, and it won't take the Freq in the Transponder and Symbol rate fields it is 1a-7 (Intelsat americas7) the freq is 11989, Syl rate 2821 it (the receiver) says not input correctly, Can anyone clear this up, Would like to get this one..! i'm at 30507 Thanks Larry KF4LKU

Not FTA.I don't know why your Fortec won't accept that frequency though.

 

[john green]

Looking at there website maybe I am wrong.Looks to be free.

It's free John, that's Star TV Network. Coming in fine here, although I have it scanned in at 11987, but that little difference shouldn't matter. Don't know anything about the Fortec's, so I can't help there, sorry.

an 18" dish WILL NOT work for KU band...you need at LEAST a 30" dish

(and yes skew is VERY important)
