I know it has been asked a lot of times. I need a strong transponder to pick up X satellite or to aim my motorized at my true south. Well, below are one or two strong transponders on each satellite from 72-129. Most of these frequencies should be in your receiver, but if it isn’t, you can manually add them. Consult your manual on how to add them. Some are data transponders that don’t have any channels but will give off a strong signal. All transponders listed are up 24/7. Hopefully this will help when aiming a fixed dish or motorized.

Satellite (name)-frequency/polarity/symbol rate
30 (Hispasat)-12172 H 27500 or 12132 H 27500
43 (IS-3R)-12050 H 23700
58 (PAS-9)-11612 H 3670 (Need a Universal LNB)
72 (AMC6)-12143 V 2573 or 12068 V 9755
74 (H2 AKA SBS6)-11733 H 6616
77 (Echo 6)-12516 V 20000 or 12676 H 20000 (need a DBS LNB)
79 (AMC5)-11900 H 2170
82 (Nimiq4)-12224 V 20000 (need a DBS LNB)
83 (AMC9)-12140 V 30000 or 12160 H 30000 (data transponders. No active channels but strong signal)
85 (AMC2)-12182 H 3978
87 (AMC3)-11736 V 8333 or 11716 H 4859
89 (G28 AKA IA8)-11787 H 15915 or 11952 V 19532
91 (G17 AKA G11)-12050 V 13350
93 (G25 AKA IA6/G26/T6)-11984 V 8681
95 (G3)-11780 H 20760
97 (G19 AKA IA5/T5/G25)-12177 V 23000 or 12152 H 20000
99 (G16 AKA G4)-11760 H 30000 or 12100 V 30000 (data transponders)
101 (AMC4)-11822 H 5700 or 12120 V 30000
103 (AMC1)-12100 V 20000
105 (AMC15)-11865 V 3548 or 12175 H 17780 (data transponder)
107.3 (AnikF1)-11902 H 5859 or 11912 H 5859
110 (Dish 110)-12224 V 20000 (a lot of transponders on this satellite are spotbeams).. (DBS LNB needed)
111.1 (AnikF2)-11831 V 7300
113 (Satmex6)-12080 H 25635
116.8 (Satmex5)-11740 V 30000
119 (Dish 119)-12238 H 20000 (do not use a V transponder as the 1st 5 are spotbeams).. (DBS LNB needed)
121 (Dish 121)-12014 V 20000
123 (G18 AKA G10)-12114 V 4580
125 (AMC21)-12140 V 30000 or 12179 V 30000
127 (Horizon 1)-11975 V 19125 (data TP)
129 (G27 AKA IA7)-12080 V 21650 or 11778 H 21650 (both data TP's)

At 118.7 you likely will get some of the AMC-16 tps in the FSS band even though they are circular. The SRs are 26000. 11840 RV if it locks should give 1 FTA channel which tells you what you are aimed at.

Someday, you will likely be able to add G4R at 76.8, also.
