Fortec Mercury II >>> DYNAMIC

Fortec Mercury II receiver is now replaced by Fortec DYNAMIC. This new receiver is exactly the same as MERCURY II except, it has a different faceplate.



DYNAMIC will be available within a few days from our store.

For the other satellites you need to use the standard linear outputs from that LNB. C = circular and L = Linear.
I am pretty sure you need to set the LNB type to 10250 for linear in each satellite that you are searching. Most all the the FTA sats are linear. If you look at 110, it is probably set to 11250 which is for circular and you get that reception. You also need to set your switch to the corresponding LNB number for each satellite.

Good luck

That would be 10750 for "L" and "C" is 11250. Just trying to keep everyone on the ball.........hummm

hello again i notice that my longitud has a negative value like -122.4 how can i set up a negative value in the popup menu of usals where you set your latitud and longitud. because just accept a positive value, i checked with dispointer and it is negative. my question is if i have an negative value in my longitud in my system setup will be positive?

I don't think you should use a negative value. You would be either E or W.

hello again this is about this formula elevation=p-(45-Latitud) so, for example p = to value for fixed disk if i have to setup the aligment on my motorized dish, i set the latitud on the motor but on the dish declination angle i will have to apply the equation for each satellite.

thank again.

Please verify what satellite you are on.
97w is Galaxy 19, and Galaxy 25 is 93.1w
Use www.Lyngsat.com to check.
Your dish is fine, do you have a sat. meter, you can fine tune the satellite in with it by moving the dish up and down, side to side, very very same amounts. I did this with mine it will enable you get good quality sig. You also can use the sig button on you remote to view the quality , which you are probably doing. I think all you have to do is a little tweeking.
If you have your switch inline try without it. Check all your connections, and what is your coax, is it good quality, and how long is it.

When you have your signal on your sat finder move your dishup or down slightly, this also will help tune in the signal.
