Lock Freq and volt switching for 91W

[PRkid]

I just purchased a Tracker Light 3 meter and for 91W they suggest the following frequencies to lock, however, not sure how correct they are or not. The indicate: 12239 (18v), 12282 (13v), 12370 (13v), 12384 (18v), and, 12443 (18v). All SR at 20000, and, LoFreq of 11250.

Does anyone know if one of these is better for SoCal? If I were to use a different suggested locking freq, what should the volt switching be (13 or 18)? Thanks!

The "Volt switching" will depend on you LNB, if its a "legacy" then the the switching voltage will work, if its a DP or a DPP LNB then leave it at 18V.

Now for the transponder, you can use the 12239 (18v) and it will work fine.

All should work in SoCal, but the 91W satellite will be replaced by a new one this summer, and it will have the same foot print as 82W, (all of Canada, less of the US) this means once they switch over to the new satellite, you will loose the signal for this satellite (91W) as it will be out of range for anyone below say Portland Oregon.

Thanks Terryl! I will be using a single DP LNB, thus, will follow your suggestion on 12239 (18v).

BTW, understood on the point of not being able to get 91W past summer. I also have a friend in Portland (which I will also install for) and hopefully my learnings will be applied there ar well. lol, Portland right on the edge!

I have been a pro installer for Be**and Sh** and Xnet for over 5 yrs I have used alot of meters digisat, birddog,eagle,satbuddy and now supperbuddy it by far is the best I have yet to use
