Help with Fortec Star

[billsherri]

I am a high school Communication Tech. teacher new to the Ku/FTA experience and I sucessfully locked into the T-5 satellite today with a Fortec Star Ku dish, SD240 motor and Pansat receiver. Everything worked great with a strong signal and strength level.
However now I want to go to the Galaxy 10R will the dish go there automatically and adjust for azimuth and elevation? Do I need to rotate the LNB? The angle calculator on Sadoun's site calculate that I need to rotate 25 degrees but somewhere else it said it is not necessary to do this because the dish rotates as well.
From inside the building, should I be able to tell the reciever to communicate with the dish to go to various satellites? AMC3, Galaxy 10R, T-6, etc?

Thanks for any help you can provide, my students think it it pretty cool stuff.

use the usals in your receiver to move to other sats should find all the sats as long as you are on the ARC. skew of the lnb is not needed as the dish moving will skew it automaticaly and it also will change the elevation as it moves.
