Will the recalc function in Gemini take care of the three degrees ? I have learned that a 1.2M dish is a little bit harder to tune than a 80 dish. If I had a motor that moved vertical, now that would be much easier :) I am also wondering about 19.2 footprint, but from what I understand, I...

OK, here is a followup. my Location LAT 46, Lon. 30 Climb on the roof with a signal from 28.2, just to refresh your memory, I replaced a smaller dish with a 1.2m so I could reach 19.2E from Odessa, Ukraine. 28.2, 13E, 5E, 4W was not a problem with the smaller dish. Ok, back to the story...this...

Thanks alot, I will give that a go, and let you know how it turns out..

Thanks, I think I understand what your trying to do here, but you must understand I do not have any tools like a signal finder, etc... My thoughts above were that if I have a signal from 28.2 then it gives me a reference point. I hesitate to move the motor or anything else in a horizontal...

Sorry, But I don't really understand what your trying to say: The motor is already pointing due south, and I have a signal from 28.2... 28.2 is actually about 5 degrees west on the motor... I cannot move the pole, I can move the motor around the pole

You mean 0 the motor @ 28.2 ? or just recalculate ?

Ok, After reading the above post let see if I can get some aggreement here on what I will do. I have a signal from 28.2 "almost due south for me" If I put the motor angle back to 46 lat, I should be able to adjust the dish angle to get the 28.2 signal back "I hope" and since I am at 46 Lat 30...

Thanks for the reply, Well those are not common here. My installer came over today with his receiver and mini tv, now I get 13 and 28.2 but nothing else with my new 1.2m dish. He change the Lat again on the motor and who knows what on the dish angle, I will have to go back up and see exactly...

Hello all, I just replace my smaller dish with a 1.2m dish today, lined up motor tube line, set it to 46 lat for me, but the dish angle has no markings, so I really don't know how to set it except have someone watch the signal meter in Gemini on a 7020s. I lined the dish up the best I could just...

Ok, here is a follow up. I got up on the roof, and just happen to have someone that could watch satfind signals while I adjusted the Elevation angle. Lat was set to 53, when my lat is 46..I adjusted it until I recieved the best signal reported by my helper..I can now pick up 39E, 36E, 4W that I...

I was reading one of the recent threads, and saw that someone with an 80mm dish was picking up 19.2E. Recently I ask my installer "with my 90mm or 1m dish" why I could not pick up 19.2E, 13E and 28.2 come in fine. He told me that I needed a 1.2m dish to pick up 19.2, Is that correct ?

Rolfw, You know this story about replacing the motor in my setup. I have replaced the motor HH120, and some of the satellites that I used to recieve I can no longer find, I'm guessing when I replaced it, I knocked it off a couple degree's here or there. I have been researching all the docs on...

I have used camd3 in the past, with success. Use the AES auto updater and test against Mult**** on 13E. It of course depends on how recent the keys were updated, MU**** updates every day

I also have a 7020S, and recently tried to load some images in flash, don't remeber exactly which one it was, everything went well and when I rebooted I recieved the same error. I re-flashed it again with the cvs that I had on it previously and everything was fine. The next time I put the other...

@rolfw, I thought I would get back to you on this. Turned out to be the motor, have another motor in now and all is working fines with stored positions. I posted another thread that you may see that is new that goes into more detail. I just wanted to say thanks.
