What would be the True South Sat close to 28.0 north and 82.5 west?
Thanks

You can either use AMC5 at 79W or AMC9 at 85W. Make sure to use USALS to move the dish to either sat first since before tuning since they are really not your truesouth sat.
There are 3 degrees apart from your long and these 2 sats.
