Minneapolis, MN
Coolsat 5000/Geosatpro 36" dish

11929-76
12146-75
11842-75
11960-75...actually bouncing between 72 & 75

no I did not peak on 11842. I am peaked on 11966 but even if I try on the 36" to peak on 11842 I dont gain anything quality wise and dont lose anything on the other...When one goes they all go

The 30" has different results

11842-73
11929-75
11960-75/76
12146-75

I am peaked on 12115...If I peak the 30" to 11842 then I lose quality on a few transponders like 11966
