Sat Finder For 97º W

[cromes]

I just need to know which sat finder is best in finding 97ºW? I am looking for something that is in the following range:

Something that would be easy to carry
Notifies you that 97 W is found I don’t want the BEEPBEEPBEEP sound
Most sat finders BEEP but when you look, it doesn’t say what is found that is a waste of TIME
Is there such a thing that would guide you if you are going in the wrong direction?

I have tried the Bird Dog 3, SF-3000 and various receivers to get 97ºW but that freaking thing is a PAIN in the BUTT.

Some help and suggestions in regards to the Sat Finders would be very helpful. I am thinking of getting a Sat Finder and want to know which one would be best not only for 97ºW but all other satellite frequencies also.

Cheers,

this is a hard bird to dial in,it takes patience and a little time,you will need a 33in or larger dish and a linear lnb to reseceive it.

Dish wise or any other setup wise, I am pretty good. I am using 36inch dish and in some places I have used 39 inch dish and I still have problem getting the sat frequency. I was wondering if there is a specific sat finder for that? Other than that I am pretty good when it comes to finding a signal.

Just a feedback to see which sat finder would be very good for 97W?

freq should be set at 10750.you are trying to get this with a linear lnb?dishpointer.com is a great site.most fta recievers should be able to use 97w.good luck.and like wildstik said patience,plus i say many beers will help too.

I can tell you how not to HI-JACK someone's thread. Also you wouldn't even ask this question if you've been reading. There are numerous post that have answered this question.
