    PanSat 3500SD Question

    When I had my c-band dish years back there was a way on the remote to manually move the dish. Basically you could bump it to get a better picture sometimes. Is there a way on the 3500 to manually use the motor to move between birds? Thanks

    This is perplexing. This morning I successfully blind scanned Hispasat1, and several other birds. But every time I tried to go to Echo9 or further west I get a message when I tried to move that said "Out of Range"... Whats up with that? I cannot move to ECHO 1,2 or 4 without getting the out...

    Lnb Lo So what you are saying is that I need to find out if the bird is using either Linear or circular and set the LNB settings for each different sat. accordingly? Where do I find out which bird is using which type?

    Thanks What you are saying is that the LNB type be set to standard and the LNB Local-Freq be set to 10750 but I do not see a place to put the 11250 for the Circular side. What about all the other settings ? leave at defaults?
