Blindscan on a Viewsat VS2000. Frequency Step?

I am trying to find 101.0°W, with my second PS 1.0 and not having much luck, lol. What should the frequency step be set to?

Back to using my Coolsat 5000

I could not find 101.0°W, tried two different spot along the river bank, the tree line across the river is in the way. Luckily it is my property over there so a few trees may get dropped next spring. The first two pictures show my attempt at finding 101.0°W with no luck, I never found a single bird. The third picture shows my temp mount using a round of wood. I started with 129.0°W and WS popped right in, so I know my PS 1.0 is good, I stopped on 123.0° for the night. I will dragged this around the yard looking for a spot for hit 101.0°W, since my first PS 1.0 is n my neighbors yard, which is the two dishes in picture 4, for a clear LOS. My Coolsat 5000 does not show 125.0 in the menu, skips right past it, anyone have input please?

The top three most popular these days in no particular order seem to be:
1. GeosatPro Micro HD
2. Amiko Mini HD SE
3. Amiko A3, A full featured Andriod Box with access to the Playstore apps etc..
A good option if you have high speed internet to fully utilize all the features.

2 and 3 can stream to other devices over your home network.

Is anyone in/near Snohomish County? I may be soon going with "Pay as you go" (Dish Network) & could use some tech support.
