A little off subject here, but, Jim is that a recent picture of your dishes? If so, you have SNOW! I still have bare ground.

IceBerg,
I took the plastic cover off the feedhorn and there is a red sticker on the LNB, which had this information:
DirecPC LNB
FSS 11.7 - 12.2 GHz
HNS P/N 1029272-0002 Rev. A
Made in Taiwan
It does NOT mention anything about standard 10750 LNB.....
is it still ok for FTA?
Thanks,

The frequency range is correct for NA linear KU-it should be fine.
Icon 550, Vantage 1100HD (thanks Stogie) on .90M primestar DG380 motor.10'Sami+GI650 for c-band.
CS5000 now on 1m primestar-polar mount backup system.

yeah that is fine. Will work with 10750 LO
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

RT,
The picture was taken this time last year.
Only patches of snow this year.
I sold my snowmobiles a few years ago and don't care.
Reason....
1) doesn't snow much anymore.
2) They built houses where trails used to be.
3) I've got older and wiser, therefore don't take chances or do stupid things, therefore not as much fun!

Tried to use this dish + lnb with PANSAT 2500A receiver but get no signals.
here's info of my location
Latitude = 39.2033, Longitude = -77.2348
Lat = 39 degrees, 12.2 minutes North
Long = 77 degrees, 14.1 minutes West
Pointing a satellite TV dish at the Satellite at 97 West orbit longitude
Dish elevation= 40.2, Azimuth= 219.4 (magnetic compass), Polarisation= 22.5
Polar mounts only: Main angle= 39.9, Downward tilt= 5.5, Motor drive sideways angle= -22.3
- Do I need to till the dish for Polarisation= 22.5?
I saw somewhere mentioned that "It's Linear and can be used for FTA. Horz. and Verical Select with 14/18 V and has a 10750 LO. "
- Does this LNB need voltage? PANSAT 2500A does not have LNB settings for voltage.
helps are appreciated

If you are unable to twist the LNBF in its's holder, it will be necessary to tilt the whole dish.
>> - Does this LNB need voltage? PANSAT 2500A does not have LNB settings for voltage. <<
Yes, it needs voltage. FTA receivers put ~18Vdc on the coax to select Horizontal, and ~14Vdc to select Vertical polarities. As you tilt the dish, it's look angle decreases slightly and also deviates in the direction it's tilted. So the calculated angles probably won't be "right on" but should suffice to begin the search for Q.One night I walked home very late and fell asleep in somebody's satellite dish.My dreams were showing up on TV's all over the world. -- Steven Wright
