Bronze Member Username: Impala1977Post Number: 28 Registered: Apr-06 | I have DP 500 Trying to tune in to nimiq 2 and 1. I am keeping the same set up I had with DN. I am having a hard time getting the right Elev. and Skew. Azimuth may be okay. Nimiq 2 has quality but 1 does not. Anyhelp help appreciated. Thank you. |

Bronze Member Username: Da_bin_chi_codePost Number: 77 Registered: Jul-06 | Isn't it east (not west), and few degrees up (elev)? |

Bronze Member Username: Impala1977Post Number: 29 Registered: Apr-06 | Thank you moe, scanning as I'm typing. BIN Chi, I moved it just slightly west and a few degrees up(elev). The quality: Nimiq 1= 77 Nimiq 2= 48 (still in the green) I am more concerned with getting 1 than 2 because from reading here there may still be some quality channels on Nimiq 1. Anyway, thank you guys. |

Bronze Member Username: Impala1977Post Number: 33 Registered: Apr-06 | Thanks Story and Mike. That is the site that I used and I installed satfinder. Great tools. Navy sea, the sites given here can help you out. I founf out when it was calculated you'll get a negative skew, not sure what tool I used but all you have to do is substract that number from 90 degrees. |
