south satelite

[sanpat]

What sat should i setup on a polar mount for 32.31n &106.76w ,i see that 106w is all encrypted ,would 105w work for true south ?

107.3 would be a good starting point. Just use signal strength/signal finder and worry about encryption later.
4111H 15000 5/6 is pretty strong.

113W
3769H 3500 3/4
4095V 3100 2/3

Then East

105W
4117V 2500 5/6
4179H 30000 5/6 strong

99.2W
4040H 26400 3/4 strong
4140V 31458 3/4

That should get you started for tracking the arc.
Good luck
And happy hunting, Mr. Vick

105W would do. It's close enough to your latitude to be used for "true" south. As I recall, true south is fine tuned by moving the dish to the edge of the visible arc and move the dish dish east or west to peak up on the signal. I think tvrosat.com has alignment instructions.

You can always rotate the dish a bit from your zero-position, to your reference sat, when the reference sat is not at true south.
Not too difficult, is it?

Use the shadow of your feed onto the reflector's vertical axis to determine exact aiming. Many websites and smart device apps available.
