Just bought and installed M-3 Motorized Mercury II Blind Search Choice Set

[aeroman]

I need to get signal from this satellite:

Satellite coordinates:
Galaxy 26
09K Digital
93 Degrees West
Downlink frequency: 11890.000
SR: 6.148936
FEC 3/4

I have it set up and aligned with true south. How do I know how to move the dish just the right amount with the motor to get the right sat?

Thanks

Configure and use USALS for each satellite you wish to watch.

Properly configured (lat & log) the system will calculate how far to move east-west and properly aligned (the entire dish assembly) this rotation will point at the correct location in the sky.

I thought the motor is diseq not usals?

[aeroman]

sorry just figured out that go to x is usals. is galaxy 26 circular or linear?

[teched]

Linear.

I'm not sure the feed you are looking for is up yet, so you may wish to check for other signals on that bird for alignment: Galaxy 26 at 93.0°W - LyngSat

What is your true south satellite?

Can someone help me with what settings in the FTA box I need to set these to:

Satellite coordinates:
Galaxy 26 : I got this one
09K Digital - ???
93 Degrees West - I know where the sat is
Downlink frequency: 11890.000 - I got this one programmed
SR: 6.148936 - ??? I think I know where this going but no way to put in decimal that I can tell.
FEC 3/4 - Have no idea what this is.

Thanks

Don't worry about FEC and use 6148 for the signal rate.
