I am using an Echostar AD3000IP, SG99 H-H Mount, 95cm Offset and a Strong KU LNB. Had to replace the Universal I bought with me as the osc. freqs. were different.... and it was an old Cambridge 0.6db.... good in its day for what was over europe but a bit superceded now.
I have all the data for inclination, azimuth etc from
Awsome google maps interaction with directional lines etc....
Anyway.. I think I understand that with an increase for instance on the inclination angle... i would have to pull my dish bracket down a little to compensate.. that in theory would steepen the curve and my birds towards the edge of my East_West limits would theoretically have to be lower on the horizon to be able to attain a lock?..?
With that in mind... how critical is the "perfectly" upright pole? how much bearing will this have? should I set it up with an electronic inclinometer to be sure its right? or will a magnetic bubble from bunnings surfice?
Just trying to get a feel for how fussy it all needs to be.... had 5 birds in about 30 degrees in uk.. so setting up was a breeze.
I get a good signal from Arirang TV on Intelsat 2 KU and back as far as B3 for the god squad stuff... but Asia sat is def not there and has a strong KU over auckland.. and not sure if I have NSS 5 but i did get a good strong signal on my meter but my trusty old steed does not blind scan digital... only analogue.. so couldnt be sure. Most of the sites that list "latest" transponder listings conflict anyway.
Sorry so many questions... have ordered a reborn cam from the uk which should be here soon. So hoping to get a polar C band dish... so this is a good learning curve if you can forgive the pun..
I am hoping you guys on the forums would have the actual number for the horizon curve for auckland that would be a big help... it is at about 26 - 27 degrees at the moment.
Thanks in advance
