SWM-LNB install with Acutrac 22 Pro

[Timsatx]

I ended up getting the SWM-LNB for my install. I want to try and align the dish with my Acutrac 22 Pro (not the MK II). I would like to find out what I may need to perform the alignment? I do have a 4-way splitter. I was hoping I wouldn't have to also get the ASL-1.

My thought/hope is that I could use my power passing 4-way splitter and on one of the non-power passing outputs I could use my Acutrac for adjusting the antenna. What are your thoughts?

You will need an ASL(alignment signal locator) to use the Acutrac Pro 22.

if you have one you can also use the standard 5 lnb... get the signal you want,lock it down and then put the swm back on

I do the alignment with a KaKu LNB then switch to the Swm LNB. No extra equipment needed. I use a Birdog.

Thanks for the replies. I have a ASL-1 on the way. Can't wait till it gets here.

You know, even though I have it on order I may also swap LNB's to do the alignment as D700 mentioned. I say that because this morning I see that my order may be delayed since one or both of the items are not currently in stock and won't ship out until at least the next 4-7 days. Man, I do not want to wait that long.
