I have mounted a Fortec Star 80cm dish with Stab 90 motor on my roof. I was careful to get it oriented to true south, with 39 degree dish elevation as per the Stab manual and web site via Sadoun. So far, nothing except up to 70% signal strength at times. I have an Invacom Quad LNB and for now have the cable plugged directly from the motor to the LNB (L output), bypassing the disque switch so I can find a &^%%$# signal!
I'm at 81.9 degrees west longitude, 38.4 degrees latitude, my southern satellite is Nimiq 2 at 82. I tried using a satellite finder on the roof, but even after loosening the mount and moving the dish sideways, up, down etc. I get nothing. Powered up, the signal finder reads "1" on the scale unless I turn up the gain, then it eventually pegs at max and emmits a sound.
Any ideas?
Thanks-
Mike
