Thread: I need a strong transponder to aim my dish

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.

will add AnikF2 when I get home. I don't know of a good TP off the top of my head

Thanks Iceberg......
It will come in handy when I set up my FTA next week (I Hope) .

Awesome list. Many, many thanks!

Thanks Iceberg. You da man

Great idea-thanks!

Tooo Kool thanks

Thanks Iceberg. I think I'll print out this list and keep it by my FTA receiver.

Thanks for the great reference.
