Pardon my ignorance, but I'm a long time 4DTV, BUD, C & Ku lnb's guy. Now I have an Amiko A3 and ASCi positoner to replace the 922 receiver. I'll be changing out the 922 for the ASC1 tomorrow. When setting up the motor on the A3, what number do I put in for a sat? A count from the ASC1 or just a number for the satellite starting at 01? (Thought I read somewhere that the Motor Position is a 2 digit number.)
I read through the ASC manual and it seems relatively straightforward to manually set up the sats. But I also read that I really don't have to do that. Start with one sat, say the westernmost sat, and let the receiver do the rest based on the position in the Clark Belt. The 922 used the positions of the far West and the far East sats to position all sats inbetween.
Using the 922, thought I would drive the dish to a little past the sat at 135 deg. Then replace the 922 with the ASC1. I know what all of the counts are for each sat. Then use the ASC1 to drive the dish to the 135 degree sat. Call that position 01 in the A3. Is that correct? Then what?
Appreciate your help.
