Here is the fun part… you want to move the skew of the dish by clicking on the skew buttons until you gain your highest
isolation reading. (Sometimes, the meter will show that you are of a PASSING level. If you see the “PASS” appear (and
stay) on the screen during the manual test (as seen below), you may stop the test and run the AUTOMATIC test to
(hopefully) gain your PASS and finish the Cross Pol.
The Manual test will only run for 1 or 2 minutes, so you need to work quickly to get your best isolation score… Don’t worry
if the test stops too quickly… You can always rerun the test at any time. The idea is to get the highest isolation as possible.
Sometimes you can slightly move Azimuth and Elevation to help with isolation scores.
This procedure takes time to learn, and we recommend that you practice and perfect this skill.
HINT - If you can’t pass, try using a different transponder. (Click on Override inside the INPUT DATA box on the Main
MAGELLAN Administration Window)…. Choose your transponder from the list (as seen below)…make sure it is on the
satellite you’re pointed at.
For more information on selecting transponders, read Step 4 of MAGELLAN Configuration in this manual.
Okay… now that you think you can pass cross pol (with the manual test), let’s finish the test by pressing AUTOMATIC.
