Hi and a warm welcome to the forum. I have no idea on your sat stuff but when we were having sat probs we got fantastic advice from Altech .I am sure some of the clever boys will be along very soon to assist you.

A big welcome to the forum!
Maybe if you tell us a little bit about yourself it might help with help.
Where are you located as there will probably be someone in your area.
Do you presently have any signal finder & if so, what model is it?

Get one of the ones off ebay that has a small screen on it, that way you are sure you have a picture, then it's just a matter of working out if you are doing anything wrong down the line.
Or do what we did when I dropped the trailer door on the dish, purchased a refurb one from Vansat for less than 2K

Hello everyone. Were Fran n Allen and we live on the road full time in our 1980 Bedford bus with our 2 little Staffies Nomad and Gypsy. Were currently on our property in sunny coast hinterlandlast 3 weeks been revamping the ole girl and getting it inspected for rego. Have been working sunup to sundown as we have to leave for Calen north of Mackay for the sugar crush this weekend. I bought the satlink sat finder WS 6906 for hubby 2 yrs ago and its still sittung in the box as we cant get it set up. Im over yelling out the window to get the dish set up...lol

Hi Folks!
Yes I had one of those sat finders & soon upgraded to one of the better ones.
There is an even better one than mine but I never knew that until I had it.
I've got used to it now ........... It is the SF-500.
The main difference is that yours just reports every satellite it finds whereas the one I now have can be set to only see the "C" one.
Have you worked out how to get the squeal yet?

No havent..thinking I might have to take it somewhere if we cant get it. Our friends have same. So easy to use and only locks into the optus satellite but tbe guy who set his up is in WA...we asked a few places and they had no idea
