well .... still nothing. This is a list of strong transponders in Satellites visible from NA. I will follow that to aim the dish tomorrow. So far I have not been setting a specific TP but rather the Satellite beacon I guess or what ever the FTA STB uses to get the sat name. I will use the Manual Scan page on my Coolsat to aim using some of this specific TP's.
This list was taken from the Satelliteguys.US website. Hope it helps.
I need a strong transponder to aim my dish
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know it has been asked a lot of times. I need a strong transponder to pick up X satellite or to aim my motorized at my true south. Well, below are one or two strong transponders on each satellite from 72-129. Most of these frequencies should be in your receiver, but if it isn’t, you can manually add them. Consult your manual on how to add them. Some are data transponders that don’t have any channels but will give off a strong signal. All transponders listed are up 24/7. Hopefully this will help when aiming a fixed dish or motorized.
Satellite (name)-frequency/polarity/symbol rate 30 (Hispasat)-12172 H 27500 or 12132 H 27500 43 (IS-3R)-12050 H 23700 58 (PAS-9)-11612 H 3670 (Need a Universal LNB) 72 (AMC6)-12143 V 2573 or 12068 V 9755 74 (H2 AKA SBS6)-11733 H 6616 77 (G4R)- No active transponders 79 (AMC5)-12182 H 23000 82 (Nimiq2)-12224 V 20000 (need a DBS LNB) 83 (AMC9)-12140 V 30000 or 12160 H 30000 (data transponders. No active channels but strong signal) 85 (AMC2)-12194 H 3978 87 (AMC3)-11736 V 8333 or 11716 H 4859 89 (G28 AKA IA8)-11780 H 29000 or 11952 V 19532 91 (G11)-12060 V 26700 93 (G26 AKA IA6)-11710 V 14320 or 11865 V 3516 95 (G3)-11780 H 20760 97 (G25 AKA IA5)-12177 V 23000 or 12152 H 20000 99 (G16 AKA G4)-11760 H 30000 or 12100 V 30000 (data transponders) 101 (AMC4)-11822 H 5700 or 12120 V 30000 103 (AMC1)-12100 V 20000 105 (AMC15)-12175 H 17775 (data transponder) 107.3 (AnikF1)-11902 H 5859 or 11912 H 5859 110 (Dish 110)-12224 V 20000 (a lot of transponders on this satellite are spotbeams).. (DBS LNB needed) 111.1 (AnikF2)-11847V 5673 113 (Satmex6)-12080 H 25635 116.8 (Satmex5)-11740 V 30000 119 (Dish 119)-12238 H 20000 (do not use a V transponder as the 1st 5 are spotbeams).. (DBS LNB needed) 121 (Dish 121)-12014 V 20000 123 (G18 AKA G10)-11805 H 4580 or 11800 V 26660 127 (Horizon 1)-11938 V 21000 129 (G27 AKA IA7)-11964 H 2920 or use a DBS LNB and use 12457 V 20000 148 (Dish 148)-12224 V 20000 or 12253 V 20000....no H side transponders as the satellite co-located there failed
