FTA setup for pas 3R

[mitchel taylor]

I am trying to get the FTA channels on PAS 3R at 43.1°W. I am in Guyana South America with a universal LNB what should my set up of my receiver be.
Set enter symbol rate megasymbols (it is at 30.000.) fer second; next
Set polarization; options are (Horiz Vert Left Right) next
Set FEC rate; options are (½ 2/3 ¾ 4/6 7/8)next
Set manual turne freq;options are (enter signal freq xxxxx in MHz) end
In LNB setup.. SET L.O, Switching; options are Tone or None. What to do here?
Thank all.. Mitchel

What programing are you trying to get from PAS3? What dish and receiver make & model are you using? There should/might be a better way than manually entering everything.

 

[rdel]

everything on pas3 ku band is aimed at europe
c-band is aimed at americas but it's DDII (need a big dish and special unit)

There is some stuff on 43 that we can see in the U.S. Not sure about down south where you are... There doesn't appear to be anything on 24/7 that we can see up here, but you might see more down there on tps aimed your way.

My Receiver is Philco model slb200r; freq 950-2150 ( with this receiver i look/ subscribe to Sky Brazil on PAS 6B at 43.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/skybrazil.html) Dish a 1.2m dish and universal LNB.
I am trying to get
CNBC US & other i see some america Beam here @ http://www.lyngsat.com/pas3r.html

CNBC is on a C-band frequency. You will need a C-band lnb and a large enough dish to get it. The 1.2m might get it, but then again it might not. It would be an experiment if you tried. You can try scanning AMC6 ku or SBS6 ku, and sometimes you can find a feed with CNBC. But, that don't happen a lot.

That should be automatic in the receiver once you do a blindscan

If you have a Universal LNB, then select Universal LNB on your receiver. Here are some LNB basics I found if your lost.


The following statements have not been reviewed but can be found at: http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/lnb.htm


A Universal LNB requires a 22kHz signal at 0.5v p-p to switch its Local Oscillator to 10.6GHz ("high band"). Otherwise it uses its 9.75GHz oscillator ("low band").

Polarization switching is controlled by dc voltage supplied by the receiver. 12.5v to 14.5v gives vertical and 15.5 to 18v gives horizontal polarisation. A higher voltage than that may damage the LNB but most are OK up to 20v. A voltage that is too low (less than 12.5v) will prevent the LNB from working correctly.
