What's going on with G3?

[jimatham]

While I try to set up my Pansat 2500 with a Fortec 31" on a motor, I try to set up G3 at 95w and use it as reference. I believe I got the position right, but every time I got the quality jump up to 70% for a few seconds then fade away to zero. Finally I change to T5 at 97w, I receives good with 60% quality. I ask around, and was told G3R is dead, but Lyngsat listed as G3C. Is G3C=G3R? Is it working or dead?
Also, what is the proper way of storing satellites in Pansat 2500 to work with a motor?

Thank you

Have you tried nudge motor a little when on G3C until you peak it.
11780 H SR 20760 is pretty hot so try tp for tweaking purposes.
12050 H SR 20000 is also very strong so may also be good tweaking.
11780 & 12050 are all 99% quality for me.

make sure your LO frequency is set properly
9750/10600 for universal
10750 for standard

G3 is one of the easiest satellites to aim at because the signals are VERY strong

If you can get IA5, all you need to do is nudge the dish east a little bit
