sat description when aiming

[black Bear]

Is it normal that it does not show which sat you are locked on with a sonicview ? I do know that a Pansat will not show this .
I was locked onto G10 R but it did not show any info on antenna setup screen , just the S / Q reading ..
Now i am going to try to aim at AMC9 soon and i think that it would be helpful if it showed me which sat i was locked onto , thx ..

Some do, most don't.

When SonicView can't ID a sat, signal Q is usually at 0 or low. Some sat IDs don't match current sat name. Some TPs may show a different sat name in the same dish position. Try to scroll through the sat's TPs very slowly to find a strong TP and see if the sat ID shows up.

My Pansat 9200 shows it for G10r (18 now) and AMC4 at 101w, and a few others (103w was one). I don't think it shows all of them though...
