I wanted to get 87.0° W AMC-3 87° W because that is my True South Satellite. I was acutally scanning for AMC-3 when I got Nimiq 1. (I was using USALS)
How do I fix this???
Do I only have to move the entire mount 3° or 4° east or west to fix the problem, and will the other sats line-up correctly ??? or do I have to do something else???
 Thanks for all the help, you guys are the best... |
This is common. In most cases, you can rotate the entire mount on the pole just a bit, until you pick up AMC3. And if you are lucky this should work, and you'll find the other sats correctly. You'll have to fine tune this same adjustment on the most extreme (west) sat too.
Usually this will work, however, if your lnbf arm is bent or crooked, and/or if your motor isn't centered properly at zero, then it is possible that USALS might not find the sats properly after doing this, and you may have to use DiseqC 1.2 instead of USALS.
Anyway, yes, just move the whole assembly a few degrees on the pole, then again peak using the dish elevation.
