Nahuel 1

[SnockZilla]

Is there anything broadcasting 24/7 on Nahuel 1 and AMC 6 so that I can lock onto it? If so please post the freqs. Thanks

 

[Mr Tony]

Nahuel 1 is aimed towards Latin America, so you probably wouldn't be able to pick it up

The only thing on AMC6 that is right now 24/7 is WVGN (NBC from USVI). However, it is very low power to pick up. Only shows a 30 quality on the Pansat

11802 H 2.000

I am on my most south sat SBS 6 setup with my motor. In your opinion should I just keep it the way it is or would you try to line up AMC 6 as the most south sat?

If SBS6 is your southern satellite, don't change it.

You can try to get AMC6, all it would take is a small nudge to the east

 

[PSB]

Just for reference I get WVGN on AMC6 at a signal quality of.....

60 on the BEC DBS-2000
40 on the Satwork with a slightly better picture, IMO.

Got a Question

I am lined up on AMC 6. I have the settings on my USALS set at 72 Degrees for the sat. I put in my L & L and it moves my dish 3.4 deg to the east loosing my signal. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Mr Tony]

Once you put in your true south sat and you L& L, you really don't have to do anything.

If you change anything once its set up (L &L or true south), it throws it out of whack.

What sequence do I do first. Line up the sat then enter my L & L or L & L than line up the sat?

 

[Mr Tony]

I'm not at home, so this is from my fried memory

There is a spot in the USALS where you put your L&L and then it says "reference" or "south". That would be the true south.

Once you put that in, you should be OK

 

[SnockZilla]

There is a reference position but when highlighted it only says "OK"

 

[SnockZilla]

Here is my problem. I am resetting my position from SBS6 to AMC6 being my most south sat. I moved the motor to 0 deg position. Reset the Pansat. Lined up AMC6. Went into USALS Sat pos is at 72 deg. I input my L & L at 75W and 40N. It When I highlight the move it wants to move the dish east 3.4 degs. I don't know what I am doing wrong? I am not sure what the Reference Position is for?

 

[Mr Tony]

Reference might be for the most southern satellite.

Its been a while since I set my motor up
