I bought a Fortec Star
Mercury ii system from
Sadoun with a positioner so that I can tune in to more than 1 satellite like with my 5 month old receiver DBS 1500 which I bought to replace my really old DMT 1000 which is about 5 years old and died out of burnt power supply
Replacing the DMT 1000 with the DBS 1500 is relativly easy. Since I had the original system including a 1.2 meter dish installed by a professional, I did not try to tweakle the dish and was able to tune in my targetted program,
vtv4 Vietnamese Broadcasting system once I entered the name of the Satellite
Telstar 5 or Intel Sat American 5 with transponde longitude position at 97 degree West, transponder # 14 at 11996, Horizontal.
But when I tried to tune my new Fortec Star Mercury ii system equipped with a 100 cm diameter dish, I was not able to create an added satellite Intelsat Americans 5.
I was ble to tune in 2 satellites which were built in the software of the system such as IA6 and AMC 4. They did not give me VTV4 and some European Satellite system Echostar or Middle easestern to tune in the Englih version of Al Jajeerah because there was no real way of editing satellitle(it s possible to edit transponder)
2)I found that the positioner worked well and reproducibly
3)I found the the sensitivity /power meter built in the software to indicate on screen if the quality of the signal or the power of the signal by the length of the horizontal bars did not work well in my hands.
A power meter with an udio signal in addition to the deedlemovement worked well.
4) I also found that the positioning of the satellite, once you get the signals is not very critical because I could move the
satellite dish up to 3 steps east or west of the zero pointing to the South without loosing the signals
QUESTION: How Can I edit then add new satellites to the Fortec Star system. Is there sny way to download parameters for all satellites then added to the receiver via the RSC 232 port ?
Linear Mode
