Fortec newbie

I just ordered a Fortec Star Mercury II receiver. Here's my first stupid question- When you program your first satellite does it automaticly set the other sats? Thanks.

no

each satellite needs to be setup

What kind of system do you have (Dish size, motor, LNB etc)

I ordered the M-2 package over at sadoun. I upgraded to the 100cm dish because I'm in northern Ca. It has the fortec universal 0.4db single KU LNBF

nice setup

You would set up your true south satellite first (this is the satellite at the same longitude as your location). Once you have that locked in, the rest can be set up using USALS where you put in the latitude & longitude into the box and it will move to the other satellites as you set them up. You still have to set them up but the motor will move to the new satellite as need be

Thanks Iceberg, you made it a little easier for me.
