I have DirecWay and have moved the motor home
from the NC coast to central OK. Edmond to be exact. |

Same satellite Miles. You might move, but your
account doesn't. The satellite/transponder to which you're
assigned in NC is necessarily the same satellite/transponder you
must access in OK. |

Ok Greg - thanks for the info - so the
question is what satellite does DirecWay use ? |
USN - Retired Member |
Assuming you have a blue and white DW icon
down by the clock, right click it and select ABOUT - then click
System Information. I'm interested in Satellite (and
Transponder) Information |
Miles Mulloy Guest |
Greg I don't have icon in my systems tray
however my system info reads; |
USN - Retired Member |
The icon location was offered, based on the
assumption that you were a DW4000 subscriber. Not a problem
though, you found the DW6000 info that helps me accomplish the
same end; SatMex5, transponder 1090H. |

Ok Greg, |

I guessed at your lat/long pretty close. Your
Magellan points compute to identical look angles. |

Ok back to asking dumb questions what is the
difference between azimuth and compass direction. Is azimuth the
compass setting corrected for magnetic variations? |

I finally have my satellite dish and running.
The help was much appreciated and the numbers were right on the
money. |

I'm glad things worked out Miles, too bad that installer
didn't feel charitable to share some of that $70/hr he pocketed.

Well of course Greg -- increase my download
speeds? It is the upload this certainly needs to upgrade or
improvement. |
USN - Retired Member |
You're not going to do much to improve the
uploads. I've never ever gotten more than 110kbps - and that was
to a FTP server. Typically, they're half that or less -
occasionally dropping to sub-modem speeds. Remember - a DirecWay
connection is shared bandwidth. |

Greg the reason for my interest in the
increasing, if not the quantity of the uplink, then maybe
there's something to be done for the quality; is because of my
telephone over the Internet program. |
