Need some help with settings for Coolsat 6100 and AMC 21...

[Backwoods Montana]

This is all new, but I got my new dish delivered, and have it set up and pointing in generally the right direction with the right elevation, I plugged in my new Coolsat 6100 and I;m trying to get AMC 21 with Montana PBS. This isn't a pre-programmed setting in the list of satellites so I guess I have to enter it in manually.

What do I enter for frequency, LNB Power (on/off), LNB Type (single or universal), LNB Frequency (is that different than The other frequency?), LNB 22KHZ (on/off) and finally DiSEqC SW (off/off/off or settings 1-4).

I'm not sure if there are other settings that I should be entering or if there is an easier way to do this. Right now I'm a little lost.

Thanks!

AMC21 is a newer satellite and most receivers dont have it in their setup

But as for the other parameters

frequency....leave blank for now...you need to enter it through manual entry or manual scan
LNB power ON
LNB Type & LNB Frequency depend on your LNB. Are there any numbers on it?
22k will stay off as will diseqc

After that is saved, then you have to go into manual transponder setup and log in MOntana PBS
12104 frequency
V
4340 symbol rate

But I guess lets answer the "what LNB do you have" question first.

Thanks Iceberg,
I have a GEOSATpro Universal Single LNBF with the following info:

L.O. Freq Low Band 9.75 Ghz / High Band 10.6 Ghz
RF Input Low Band 10.7 - 11.7 Ghz / High Band 11.7 - 12.75 Ghz
IF Output Low Band 959-1959 Mhz / High Band 1100 2150 Mhz
Noise Figure Low Band 0.4 dB (typ)
Gain Low Band 60 dB (typ)

Probably more numbers than we need, but that's what's on the box.

Really, what I need to be able to do is get the Coolsat set where it needs to be, while my wife looks at the TV and tells me if the signal is getting better or worse as i adjust the dish. Is it possible to do this, or am I stuck with a trial and error type of adjustment?

Thanks

OK so now we know the parameters

LNB Power (on/off), ON
LNB Type (single or universal), UNIVERSAL
LNB Frequency (is that different than The other frequency?), 9750/10600
LNB 22KHZ (on/off) THIS WILL SET TO AUTO AS YOU ARE USING A UNIVERSAL LNB
and finally DiSEqC SW (off/off/off or settings 1-4). OFF

If you have access to a little TV the best thing to do is take the receiver and TV to the dish
