[QUOTE="altis, post: 88321, member: 188005"] Here's my take from NW England: 53E 11044 V 29800 3/4 45E 11627 V 01320 7/8 42E 11812 H 27500 3/4 39E 12524 V 27500 3/4 36E 12686 V 04340 1/2 33E 11472 H 30000 5/6 28E 10744 H 22000 5/6 23E 11475 V 27500 3/4 19E 10773 H 22000 5/6 16E 11554 V 28800 7/8 13E 11862 H 27500 3/4 10E 11607 H 27500 5/6 07E 11471 H 30000 5/6 05E 12303 H 25548 7/8 01W 11421 H 24500 7/8 05W 12543 H 27500 3/4 08W 12649 V 27500 5/6 11W 11483 V 12800 3/4 12W 11345 H 30000 3/4 15W 11494 V 17469 3/4 22W 11675 H 05632 3/4 30W 11811 H 27500 3/4 Now that it's set up, and having played with the motor a bit, I've found it not really necessary to know which is the strongest signal. With my motor, three nudges is equal to one degree. To find a new satellite I just count nudges from the nearest known position and then do a transponder scan. While this is happening I make a note of the transponder with the best signal quality. I change to that one, tweak the position and then scan again. [/QUOTE]
