    Question Looking for current E* sat parameters...

    ADVERTS 1
    Can anyone provide me with the following information? or point me to where this information is up-to-date. I greatly appreciate your kind assistance!

    For each of the current E* satellites 61.5, 72.7, 77, 110, 119, 121 (I've heard information (from a E* installer) that 77 is dead, and no longer being used; if this is correct, please note)

    1. Orbital location (listed above), but whether it is E or W (because I'm a little confused here; 61.5, the dish is pointing SE, but from what I've seen elsewhere, it is listed as 61.5W, same with 72.7 and 77)
    2. Freq
    3. SR
    4. LO
    5. H or V
    6. Whether to program the meter to 22KHz on or off

    Please edit below each, by adding an E or W after the orbital, and the numerical values required---

    61.5
    Freq -
    SR -
    LO -
    H or V -
    22KHz (on or off) -

    72.7
    Freq -
    SR -
    LO -
    H or V -
    22KHz (on or off) -

    77
    Freq -
    SR -
    LO -
    H or V -
    22KHz (on or off) -

    110
    Freq -
    SR -
    LO -
    H or V -
    22KHz (on or off) -

    119
    Freq -
    SR -
    LO -
    H or V -
    22KHz (on or off) -

    121
    Freq -
    SR -
    LO -
    H or V -
    22KHz (on or off) -

    77W is part of the eastern arc (61.5, 72.7, 77) for Dish subs and is in use. You're missing 118.7W, 148W, and 129W. 129, 119, and 110 is the western arc for Dish subs. E and W are the longitudinal directions from the Prime. Longitudes to the west of the Prime are designated W and longitudes east of the Prime are designated E. All Dish sats are west of the Prime so have a W longitude.

    Thank you for that additional information, do you have any of the parameters that I am requesting?

    Or can someone else please provide?

    Thank you.

    Pardon the bluntness but of what possible use could that information be unless you are a satellite engineer, in which case your employer has it?

    Sent from my Toshiba Thrive using SatelliteGuys
    Slamminc11 and KAB like this.

    The particular meter I have allows to enter the parameters that I am looking for, in order for the meter to correctly identify the satellite being hunted. With the satellite specific parameters, the meter will only identify one bird in question, and will not give a false positive ID.

    well the easiest thing to do is check Lyngsat

    North & South America - LyngSat




    22k is always OFF
    LNB LO is ALWAYS 11250 unless its 118.7 then its 10750
    Depending on the meter (if it can do DVB-S2 8PSK Turbo) you can use them. Or otherwise find a transponder that has a 20000 symbol rate and make sure the freqneices dont overlap as example

    so on 110 use TP1 (both 119 & 129 have spotbeams there)
    119 use 11 (110 and 129 have spotbeams)
    129 the only DVB transponder is 21 but 119 also has a 21

    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    Thank you much ICE, for the above. I will head over to Lyngsat and see what is available there.

    What type of meter is it that you are trying to setup?

    Fist Strike FS1 - Apparently, it needs all of the parameters to obtain a lock. I've got F and SR. ICE just posted the LO for the LNB, and advised of the 22K setting, so I will try that and see if it gets me where I need to be.

    ICE - can you confirm that the LO for the EA 1.4k LNB is 11250? Does this vary from LNB to LNB for Dish? (you said the 118.7 is 10750)

    Thanks
