astra 19 germany help

[tychi99]

Hi all
Just relocated and old working dish pointing at astra.
What readings should i be getting for the best possible signal. I have a ST2 meter. I have never aligned a dish with analouge signal.
There are two cables 1st 950+ 2nd 1250? feeding to a spliter.

Just finished reading the manual and i will try the sat finder and go from there.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this.
Any help appreciated

Welcome to the forum,

It's the same as the ST-4 but without then TFT screen.

This meter will show a PAL signal trace along with the DVB-S multiplexes.

Select Horizontal Polarisation and Low Band (H/Low) (18V / No 22Khz Tone), switch to spectrum trace mode.

Find the rough angles from dishpointer.com and align the dish until you see the following:

First Analogue peak on 10.714H followed after by two DVB-S transponders 10.744H and 10.773H and then another PAL transponder 10.803H

Hope this helps.
