Progress finally! Thanks for staying with me satnutwillb. I did manage to find satmex5 in my Pansat satellite list and wahlah ..... I was able to get the quality up to 60% by tweaking the dish position manually after putting in some new Ku TPs from Lyngsat and setting up for linear polarization. Also I dropped my dish elevation by 5 deg. as suggested. The resluting satmex5 channels have good picture/audio quality. This of course confirms my
Invacom LNB is good so I can move on now to my USALS
HH100 motor setup.
Thanks again satnutwillb and other posters for helping me get this far.
I'll post my experience with the
STAB HH100 motor setup soon. The (STAB) owners manual is quite confusing though, and has I believe left out a step(s?) is setting up for USALS.
