    Fortec How do I re-program my (vintage) Mercury II receiver for ABC News One?

    Ok Titanium, I will do some more research and gather information and post the results . Also I will look at your previous post about the motor. Glad to understand that the USALS setting is hard wired to the motor while the DiSEqC 1.2 is set by user in the software.

    Fortec How do I re-program my (vintage) Mercury II receiver for ABC News One?

    Hi KE4EST, Well.. when I did climb up today, I found that the motor is a SG6000 instead of SG2100. However, all the functions are the same. But when I try to move the dish to zero, a few seconds later, the motor moves itself back to the original position. I do have a fix for that. Disconnect...

    Ok All, I was changing TP freqs and such and did come up with the ABC News channels ( both of them !) The standby screens even read TP1 & TP3 and TP2 & TP4 respectively . Then I tried to re-scan 91 W and get off 89 W. I decided that I had so messed up the motor memory that it did not know where...

    Fortec How do I re-program my (vintage) Mercury II receiver for ABC News One?

    OK Keith, I will do. As of Jan 1, a lot of DirecTV and local network AM radio stations made changes.. One day all was well with great signals and the next, there was NO quality signal.

    Fortec How do I re-program my (vintage) Mercury II receiver for ABC News One?

    When 91w is blind scanned, what are the Radio service names? Does the blind scan log the NewsOne transponder: 12011 V 13333? OK Titanium, The radio channels logged are 20500, 60. 100, and 900. Only 20500 has quality in the 80s. The other radio channels have none. And 20500 only has...

    Fortec How do I re-program my (vintage) Mercury II receiver for ABC News One?

    I have been watching ABC News One on bird at 89W for years. Beginning Jan 1016 I read here that it had moved to bird at 91W. I have inserted 91W into my list. Using Power Scan, I only find 4-5 radio channels. But NO TV channels. From FTAList.com and other places I see the frequency and other...
