What Transponder to use for setting up 118.7?

[gwrowe]

Hi Guy's what transponder do Use to setup the 118.7 satellite, for the highest quality, for all TP's.

Try TP11806R, it has the "You Have A Dish At 118W" channel on it (CH# 9583) and is an open channel, all the others are CONUS, same levels all over.

And some places may need a bigger dish for 118 as it is about 1/2 the output power of 119, take a look at the link below, it will give you an estimated dish size needed for 118 at your location, Zoom into your location and click on it.

If you set up 119 you will get 118.8!

If you set up 119 you will get 118.8!

You require a circular LNB for both 118.8 & 119W birds. You need at least a 33 inches dish to be angled to get signal from both birds

its a circular, fss band lnb you should look for. also i use a 18'' dish here in the upper midwest and pull 118 in with readings in the mid 70s, 80,s just toy around with it see what works in your area. just change lnb freq to 10750 point at 119 and then you should have 118 as well you may need to do fine tuning for 118 as it is a narrow beam compared to 119
