    Thinking about this more, it seems that skew on my dish is done like this ? Thoughts ? Thanks !

    OTHER AVL Dish Skew question.

    Greetings, I posted here a year ago about my AVL dish. I have the electronics replaced and can move it remotely with a joystick. I am trying to understand the skew, I know there is horizontal and vertical polarities. And a skew off of that. The dish has a mechanical skew capability of +-95...

    AMIKO Amiko HD265 Blind Scanning the band or only known transponders ?

    Greetings, when I do a blind scan on Amiko HD265, is it scanning only the known transponders on the selected satellite ? or is it scanning the entire band looking for transponders ? Thanks,

    OK. I seem to be on Galaxy 3C now... Based on the transponder values, and I have pretty decent picture. Oddly, I can catch this with the LNB Set to 10600 or 10750, but the transponder numbers when it detects the channel are wrong for some reason. The Symbol numbers seem to be more accurate.

    Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification. No worries. Yes, new at the satellite thing. I have experience with Amateur radio stuff, but nothing with a dish. Just trying to discover what I dont know at the moment. I'll give it another try when the rain stops here. Thanks so much,

    Ok. Curious what you mean, I get the calculation is off. But your saying the offset angle is 63.4 and not 17.3 ? Thanks,

    The mechanical parts of the dish are solid, the electronics not so much. Although the sensors, limit switches and motors themselves are fine. Some of the wiring, and connectors are roached, so I've replaced the ones that needed it. I have a embedded systems, and motor control background, so...

    The LNB I am using isn't the one that came with it, I asked about it specifically in a previous post. Its an EPS-020, which should work at 10750... but we shall see. Thanks!

    I agree, I definitely need the math to work. I detailed the calculations in another reply here.

    I have heard that. I can control the skew with a motor, supposedly it goes +-95 deg. I think I could overcome the limitation with that ? Thanks.

    OTHER Help With dish alignment.

    The dish actually has dimples right at the edges of the dish at top/bottom, left/right. So measuring those, I get 49.75in, and 47.5in with 3.5in depth. Using the linked site, I get 17.3 deg offset, and a 0.81 F/D. Interestingly the F/D calculation is the same as the AVL specs call out. So I...

    I am using an EPS-020 LNB, I'm pretty sure its in the right place. The BUC can only connect via is flexguide in one place. Although I've been leaving the BUC off. I think I'll put it back on, even if its not powered on. There really isn't another place to put the LNB, I confirmed the LNB in...
