RTPi on 97W
Anyone have any tips for trying to find 97W. I am trying to find RTPi, ever since it moved from 101W. I have my mercury II receiver tuned to the strong transponder, 12177 V 23000 and 12152 H 20000, but i haven't had any luck trying to pick it up.
I have one of those small satellite finders but it doesn't sit at five with the slightest adjustment on the finder its either at 0 or hitting 9.
Thanks!

For Hartford, 97W is about 2.4 degrees higher and 5 degs to the west of 101W.
ADVERTISING BOX
Mark the mast while aimed at 101W and them move the dish about 1/8th of an inch to the East on the mast. Lower the elevation down about 2 1/2 degrees. Don't worry about the skew for now.
With the receiver and a small TV out at the dish, set the receiver on Frequency 12152 H 20000 and view the signal quality. Slowly pan from side to side, if you don't find it raise the dish 1/2 degree and repeat. If no show lower dish 1 degree and repeat. Make sure there are no trees or buildings in the way! Once you find it and tweak the elevation and azumuth settings - then tweak the LNB three degrees or so to the left as you face the dish. Then tweak the focus of the LNB by sliding in and out for maximum signal Quality (SQ). Do not try to do this with out the receiver/TV viewable from the dish.
Good luck - let us know how it goes.
