I am using a switch and port 4 is the lin port from the LNB.
transponder on Intelsat AM 5 is 11749. |
Your motor elevation is OK, although I would have used 55 deg.
You really should be using a declination of 4.9, but again OK, at least for finding sats near your south sat.
HOWEVER.... you really should be trying first to find your true south satellite, which would be AMC3, not AMC5. I'd really recommend starting with that and using 12180V/30000.
The other thing, is that the transponder you are trying to find on AMC5 isn't there anymore. I assume you were trying to find the UTAH mux which used to be at approximately that freq (you didn't give an SR, so I'm not positive), however that UTAH mux is GONE. If you want to use AMC5, then try the NYN mux, which is at 12182H/23000 .
