Trying to see where I am. Need help.

[Remington]

I moved my dish as close as I can from my condo wall (with a signal) and now I'm trying to know what I found with the power scan.

16 Tps
3 channels (news feed is seems)

I don't know if I can post them?

I checked on Lyngsat but it's not obvious to compare the tp freq.

 

[Remington]

Trying to figure if I can reach my true south sat. - G4R (76.8 W)

I'm afraid it's not that but ...

 

[Mr Tony]

Can you list some of the frequencies/symbol rates?

 

[Remington]

11764 H 4.231
11770 H 4.231
11804 H 4.231

12662 V 20.000
12140 V 30.000

 

[Mr Tony]

sounds like AMC9 at 83W

I cant motor over there right now to check because my motorized is busy recording something
But those frequencies look right for AMC9

 

[Remington]

Lyngsat shows this:

11763 H
tp 3

11769 H
tp 3

Sounds like you are right...

Thanks!

So that is my "southest" sat...

 

[Mr Tony]

Lyngsat doesn't list all of them but usually this time of day AMC9 lights up between 11700-11800 with news feeds.

 

[Mr Tony]

confirmed that is AMC9

If you scan between 11700-11850 MHZ on a blind scan, there is a bunch of news feeds there right now

 

[Remington]

thank you, I'll scan right now!

I'll get my motor tomorrow, very excited

AMC9 brings my dish 1/2 inch. from the wall so now I know the limit...

every little bit helps

It would help to know the orientation (the geometry) at your location, but if your wall is south-facing, the motor will move the dish another 6..8 inches out from the building.

1). you may find a mount that'll move the dish out more from the wall than you think, giving you more swing-room.

When I said that in your other thread, I wasn't even thinking of the motor.

Well, it's not exactly square but the wall is facing West. With the wall behind, the dish is looking left and I reach AMC9@83 nothing under. I understand that USALS should allow me to play anyway with what I have.

Even if I clear the wall somehow, the next condo will block my los.
