LOST SATELLITES

[JRAH]

I HAVE A 1.8 METER FIXED FORTEC ANT THAT I CONVERTED TO A POLE MOUNT AND IT SEEMS TO WORK FINE EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM

IF I SET IT UP FOR ASIA SAT 3 I GET ALL CHANNELS WITH VEREY STRONG SIGS.

BUT IF I PUT IT ON SAY PASS 8 I HAVE NO SIG AT ALL UNLESS I ROTATE THE FEED BY HAND THEN I GET EVERY THIN OK

AND IF I POINT IT BACK TO ASIASAT 3 I LOOSE EVERY THING TILL I ROTATE THE FEED BACK TO THE ORIG SETTING. (I HAD MARKED THIS BEFORE I WENT TO PASS 8 SO IT WAS EASY TO FIND AGAIN)

THE RECIEVER I AM USING HAD BEEN USED WITH 2 ANT ONE ON PASS 8 THE OTHER ON ASIA SAT 3 SO ALL THE TRANS PONDERS WERE LOADED UP.SO THIS MAKES IT EASY TO SET UP ON THE 2

I WANT TO USE THIS ANT AS A BACK UP ONE FOR ASIE SAT 2,3,4 AND
PASS 2 AND 8 I ONLEY HAVE ASIA SAT 3 AND PASS 8 IN THE RECIEVER
SO IF I HAVE TO MOVE THE OTHER ONES HOW DO I DO A SEARCH IF I HAVE NO SIG BECAUSE THE FEED HAS NOT BEEN SET FOR THIS BIRD
I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM

IF I SET THE FEED I GET ALL V AND H TRANSPOUNDERS AS I HAV SAID VEREY GOOD BUT IF I MOVE THE ANT I MUST MOVE THE FEED AGAIN

WHAT GIVES ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOM

are you using a motor to move dish or just moving manual.
if you use motor it should move feed to proper position as motor rotates if not using motor you will have to rotate feed to adjust skew manualy. hope this help,s. :mozilla_smile:
