First time
installer. I want to try a fixed mount off of
Telstar 5 before I get into motors and whatnot. I have a tripod portable mount, so nothing's permanent. I just want to play for a bit.
I'm in Kansas City, KS, so the Look Angle page gives me this:
Satellite West Longitude 97
Latitude 39.08
Longitude 94.62
° Elevation 44.7, this is what I put the dish to.
°Azimuth (Geographic) 183.8, subtracting 8 for magnetic deviance, resulting in 175.8 Azimuth. The tripod has the markings on the mount, and you set it on the ground with the N pointing north, and has a bubble level on it.
2.9 degrees (barely any) LNB polarization counter clockwise.
?
Easy as pie?
Does the Fortec 768v3 have a starter wizard type thing when you power it on for the first time? I haven't even taken it out of the box yet. It's a universal LNBF, so do I have to go manually change things in the menu?
