Hy Rainman.
Since you seem to be working on your combination transponder,I have a question for you.
I received the C/L lnbf yesterday and installed it.I could not get any reception,nor could I rotate the dish.
I have the Fortec Lifetime Ultra receiver and my lnbf is set on universal 1.
Should I be on a different setting and if so,which one.
Thanks in advance,Reinhold

hi reinhold

set it to standard 10750 for linear and 11250 for circular.

Hi Rainman.
Thanks for your reply.
Does that mean I need to scan twice?

hi reinhold

you will have to scan the circular sats then you will have to scan linear sats. no circular and linear on same sat so you should only have to scan once per sat.

Thanks again Rainman.
I also bought a HH 120 motor to go with my 120cm dish.
The growing in leaves are cutting down on my reception,so I will be going back on the roof.We are supposed to have rain for a couple of days,so I will have to wait.
I will let you know my progress.
How are you making out with your rotary LNBF?
Reinhold.
