Setting For Paksat 1r: Antenna

Slowly sweep the dish left-to-right by 5–10 degrees around the calculated azimuth. Watch the meter needle jump. When peak signal appears, stop.

Now that we have the theory and equipment, let’s proceed with the physical antenna settings for Paksat 1R.

If you are in , Sri Lanka , or Bangladesh , you may need a larger dish (8ft+) for stable reception on weaker transponders. In Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, or Dubai, a 6ft dish is sufficient. antenna setting for paksat 1r

Hameed didn’t answer. He was thinking about last week—the blackout. Not a power cut, but a silence . The Indian channels had gone first, replaced by static. Then the Turkish drama his wife loved dissolved into snow. Finally, even the crackling voice of the BBC Urdu service vanished. The satellite had drifted. Or they had. Either way, their house had become an island.

Use these frequencies to lock the signal before performing a full "Blind Scan" on your receiver: Satellite Details - Paksat-1R - SatBeams Slowly sweep the dish left-to-right by 5–10 degrees

⚠️ Magnetic declination varies by region. The azimuth above is approximate. Always fine-tune using a signal meter.

Before climbing onto the roof, it is essential to understand what you are trying to hit. Paksat 1R (Paksat-1 Replacement) is a geostationary satellite operated by the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) of Pakistan. Now that we have the theory and equipment,

Most users search for “antenna setting for Paksat 1R” assuming C-band. But Ku-band is different:

“Hold it!” Hameed yelled. He ran outside, squinting up at the dish. “No. The bracket. The elevation bolt is loose. The dish is nodding like a sleepy goat.”
