v3000 setup

[cruzin]

Sadoun sent me another v3000 dish mover. I already have my dish setup using my uniden 4500 as the mover and have sats saved from 87 my true south to 125 in the Uniden 4500.
I want to install the v3000 mover to use with my coolsat 5000 that I have the sats programed in and scanned. In the setup of the cs5000
I do not have the sats setup as motorized. My question is what is the best way to go about setting the v3000 up with the coolsat.
I have the c band dish pointing to sat at 87 my next to closest c band
sat. Should I go through the receiver and change every c band sat to the motorized 1.2 or just my south one then one at a time change them to 1.2? Another question is. If I go through and change them all to 1.2 and then shut every thing down and hook the v3000 gbox in place with the coolsat and turn in all on and save the current position (sat 87) and then re-synchronize them through the coolsat will that set all the sat up? Or is there a better way such as leaving the 1.2 off in coolsat and turning them on one at a time or moving the dish via the gbox and saving it or what?
Not a lot of setup help available. thanks for any input.

if it was me i would use the loader and download the current channel list ( this way you always have a backup copy) then modify it.

they way i saved them in the v-box and it should be the same for the g-box was to write the position # down and add it via the channel editor but you can do it both ways if you use the save button on the receiver it should make the g-box flash and show the saved position #


I always used the known transponder and walked the dish with 1.2 until that tp came in.

got it done

I got the gbox all set up with my coolsat. I used the Uniden to move the dish before and just left it on sat at 87deg. I hooked the gbox in and moved it from dish to dish with the coolsat after I changed it in the motorized setup part to 1.2 found the rather quickly and saved it and continued till I had all sats wanted and it works great. I have all the dishes except the motorized ku 1.0 channel master tied in with diseqc 1 x 4 and zinwell 6 x 8 switches so I can access any dish in any of the 3 rooms in the house with tv. I can only move the c band at one location but I do not think that there is any change for that. All in all it has been a fun summer setting this up. And I want to thank all who gave advice and help in this effort. Glad to have it done before the snow flies.
