cannot find 61.5 or 72

cannot find 61.5 or 72...........all i get is 77...........on my Wally, it is not activated at this time, I had it turned off a few mos ago.

wanted to do a check switch before i went camping and nothing i9s going right!
signal on 77 is 79 %.

although it shows green in the two boxes.

is this because it is not active right now? Or am just dumb, ( please cut me some slack as i am 81 years young)............

Having never pointed a 1000.4, I don't know. But I strongly suspect you are receiving 77 in the wrong LNB, leaving the others pointed at sky. In other words, you're aim is off.

Move the dish to the left a little.

And down a bit

I think that depends on where you are in relation to the arc. Here it would be up a hair.

61.5 is higher than the 77 where you're at?!

They're about the same. 72 is the highest here.

Same here... 72.7 is very slightly higher than 77 with 61.5 the lowest. The skew here is so flat though at 88.4 degrees, that it's pretty easy to hit the wrong sat unless you pay really close attention to the azimuth.

 

[osumike]

Wow. I guess it never even occurred to me. There's a 6 degree difference between the two here.

thanks to all.................back to the drawing board..

the only meter i have is that cheap sat finder from e-bay. the one that goes in line.

i will try again today and let you know later!!

Do you have a good compass? Align the flat sides of the mount with the magnetic azimuth for the 72.7 sat, not the LNB arm.

 

[bobtet]

OK, all of you were correct! a little to the left did the trick! locked on sat , now just have to fine tune!
