alighning dish 1000.2 with accu-trac III

[jrheyerly]

Anyone have any tips on aligning the dish 1000.2 with the accu-trac III meter?

Will it receive readings from 110 119 and 129 from Port #1 all at the same time?

No it will show only the satellite that corresponds to the port on the LNB that you have it connected to.

You should be able to get a signal reading from all 3 satellites regardless of which of the 3 ports you are connected to on a 1k2 lnb. I use a super buddy signal meter to do this on a daily basis. The lnb has a switch inside that will allow you to access any of the 3 satellites on any port. My signal meter can toggle that switch and change from one satellite to another allowing me to get signal strength by only clicking a button on the meter without having to plug into any other port.

there should be a "new dish control" setting, or a diseqc setting, at least there is on the accutrac 2, a much cheaper meter.

Yes, it can, but it may bite you...

Yes, the Accutrac III (+) has DiSEqC, so I can manipulate the internal switch and view
all three LNBs.

I just got mine and got burned (peaked the 119 sat on the wrong horn). Took me a bit to realize what I had done.

Once you get used to it, it is a nice meter...
