OK, I'll try to hit satmex 5. Lyngsat says it's a linear bird so I'll use one of the QPH's linear outputs and set the LNB type to "standard" with LO = 10750. Looks like satmex 5 has about 20 TPs. Can you recommend a strong one? Satmex 5 is not now in my Pansat's bird list on the install-antenna page. Can you advise how to add it to the list so I can choose a working TP on satmex 5?
Also, can you please explain exactly what you mean by "setting up on your true south satelite"? Do you mean begin by pointing at true south (here south is magnetic 167) and then watching my Pansat's quality bar while moving my dish manually slightly from there to hit satmex 5? Remember, I am not using the
HH100 motor at this time just to see if I can get ANY bird with the
Invacom LNB/Fortec 90. I'm trying to keep my setup simple with a DIRECT LNB-toSTB connection (i.e. NO motor or switches) just to be certain the QPH LNB really works.
