I'm trying to fine tune a few sats on my motor dish and under the URALS settings i moved a few 1-3 clicks west or east and have got a 5-10% better signal

the question is, how do i save the setting/position via the menu on vix?

top options is like auto tune, 2 calibrates and tune? cant see anywhere to store?

also anyone seen listed on dishpointer a new 28.4 east setting?

Forget the 28.4 setting. All the satellites in that constellation are strong so a tenth of a degree is not going to make any odds. In OpenViX all transponders for 28E are listed as one satellite.

In USALS you can't save positions of individual satellites. So you either fudge the whole arc by editing your longitude co-ordinates or save the satellites individually using DiSEqC 1.2 mode.

before i could save it and it does make any diff to my other sats, as they all work ok, just 28.2 has dropped 15% and when i move 2 clicks west is back to 90%
so wanted to save that setting

Must be something wrong with the motor if only one satellite is affected.

You can save one satellite as DiSEqC 1.2 and others as USALS in the advanced tuner config.
