I only have two lines to input numbers on my Amiko Mini HD SE. Local is set to Manual and below that I can input Local Longitude and Local Latitude? Which part of the menus are you in? Can you maybe post a screen shot?
Ok, I know what you mean now. Thought you were setting up usals in another part of the menus. Latitude and longitude refer to your physical location. You can get that from dishpointer.com - just enter your zip code and then zoom/scroll around the map until you are at the spot where your dish is set up. Satellite longitude is just the longitude of the sat you want to aim for. To enter these, type the number, press OK, then use down arrow to go to next field. Remember to press OK after entering each or it won't take it. That feature is an aid for people to figure out where to point a stationary dish and is not where you actually enter the info for usals when using a motorized setup.
Go to Installation, Satellite Installation. Select a KU satellite and enter your info for LNB, diseqc settings (if using), etc. Highlight Positioner and use left/right arrow keys to select Usals then press OK. On the next screen set Local to Manual then enter your Longitude/Latitude from dishpointer. You will need to select Usals as the Positioner setting for each KU sat you want to point but you only need to enter your longitude/latitude for the first one, it will carry over to the others.
Yes, once you set the first one, just select Usals as Positioner for all other KU sats you want and longitude/latitude will carry over.
The only thing I see in the menus is System > Default Setting > Default Value. You should do a backup to a USB drive first just in case of problems (System > System Upgrade > Backup to USB > Backup to USB).
