Thanks, Anole. After going back through the setup, it seems one of the connections needed to be reset as did the lnb. It was locked in one position. That's why I could only get one transponder on any satellite. It didn't make sense that a signal could be so strong on one transponder and...

Thanks, turbosat I'll try re-tracking the arc and getting my string of pearls all lined up. I just didn't understand how you can get a very strong signal on one transponder and not get a blip from any of the other transponders on the same sat. Guess logic doesn't always work.

Hi guys, I just scored an 8' BUD off Craigslist for free and got it hooked up OK. When scanning for the first time, I was only able to lock on single transponders for only 2 different satellites (Galaxy 14 @125W and AMC11 @ 131W). They were both H and V transponders and signal strength was...

Thanks very much, guys. You've definitely given me some info that I could not decipher myself from all I've found so far on the internet. I will definitely get a proper wiring system to some controller before I start messing with manually adjusting the lnb's. Why mess with a setup that was...

Thanks SatPhreak, I don't have a mover on the dish. I was just testing the components to see if all would work just as if I were using a small dish. I set elevation and scanned to the position. If I got a signal lock, I would have to hold the dish in that position by some means. So, if my...

Hi Guys, I got a 10' 4DTV BUD for free without anything else. After installing it, I tried to scan for both C and Ku with my Orasat 3. It shows a change in signal strength (90% on some sats) , but I can't lock any sats for a positive signal. I have not connected the servo wiring because...
