Re: Ka/KU dish?


You are correct, you "center" on 101. However you do need to check 119. Basically what you are doing is compensating for the highest signal level on both of the sats....CAUTION...do not connect your meter to the LNB directly....go through the switch. You need a meter that will trip with a 22khs tone to get to the 119. Also you need to put struts on the mount if you are mounting on a roof, wall, or deck railing. Some say they don't want to mount on anything other than a pole....the dish is not that heavy, having installed Dish Super Dish, Direcway, and Wildblue. You need to make that decision based on the amount of wind in your area. In this neck of the woods we do not have that much of a wind loading factor.

Think of it this way, you are sighting in a rifle and you are making adjustments up and down/right and left until you reach the highest levels.....if you do that then they will all be there. Good luck.
