Accutrac22 PRO

[Kyawa]

Help me out with this thing. I purchased this unit from you guys a month or so ago. It seems to be a nice meter, however, I'm still having trouble aligning my Phase III triple LNB antenna.

I set the meter to the 22khz mode and hook up two leads from the antenna and start the process. I generally feel that I can find 101 and get real good signal. When I thought I had maximized the signal strength, I was still missing channels at the TV. To my surprise, to resolve the problem I had to raise the elevation almost 10 degrees over what was stated on the receiver setup and online satellite searches. What's the deal with this and is there a better way to do this because the way I'm doing it still forces me to get down off the roof and back up again?

Lastly, the battery life is very short. Are there any alternative power sources? Thanks

Sorry, I didn't see this post here. I replied to it in the D* thread. This is probably a better place for it thought. I'll move it:

I may not be the best one here to help you as I have an Accutrac but haven't used it just yet...

Have you looked at the AT9 installation video here on Solidsignal.com? <-- Click here to go to the site.

It shows a little of the Accutrac22 in action on the 3rd video I believe.

The battery is short, even says that on the directions. You can power the unit off of your satellite receiver but like I said, I have never actually done it to help you further. I believe you just hook up a line from your dish to the one side and then the line to the receiver on the other and you'll have power for the Accutrac.

Hope this helps a little bit to get you started.

Thanks Andy. SS is a great company to deal with though.
