I GOT MY FIRST FTA SYSTEM GOING! Stopped by and talked to Steve in tech support. He tested my receiver and LNBF. both good. I learned a few things. got it going as soon as I got home.
It's actually pretty easy.
1) The Galaxy sat @97 deg. is lined up when the motor is ONLY 15 deg.
2) I had my LAT longs reversed...duhhhhh no wonder it wants to go way West!
3) THE LNBF can be slid back and forth. It should be as far back as possible from dish. Didn't see this in any specs.
4) I had some RG59 in there..just a short 4' run...but I didn't know that the I.F. is as high as 2 GHz.
5) lining up on just one Sat was enough! didn't have to fine tune it using an East sat then a west sat.
Now I am power scanning all kinds of free stuff. Simply amazing! EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE!
THANK YOU ...especially Steve at
SADOUN.
