[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 1023021, member: 402382"] You could well be right in your choice of frequencies having a foot print more aligned with Europe than the UK, you will find out. As with the four frequencies, although I have no idea as to why it would have any impact at all I would have them in pairs i.e 1 and 2 then 3 and 4 with the 'H' polarisation first followed by the 'V' only because my logic says the dish has to rotate in azimuth initially to find a satellite transmitting on the 'H' configured frequency and then fine tunes the elevation afterwards with the 'V' configured frequency. If you have the opportunity before heading off south maybe you could pick a spare channel number or two instead of 402 perhaps for satellites you know you will never use and get configured in advance for your alternative choices. A useful task while stuck in the UK in the rain and not out in Spain interfering with the beer and relax time. Have a good one. Brgds Rvator [/QUOTE]
