To OP- As Bill said manual 72 WILL NOT WORK. I wasted hours trying to get it to work when ------ at Winegard CS kept telling me it would. There is a flaw in their software that will not allow it to lock on.
Winegard says no one uses the EA sats so they don't care about fixing it or making an EA dish setup. That is total BS but that was their story. There are many areas of the east that Dishnet is no longer installing WA dishes due to all the signal problems and rain fade.
"In many areas of the east the 129º sat is blocked unless you are parked in an open field.
All that said there is a way to get the 72 sat. Setup Travler to go to 72 in the manual mode with the TV and receiver on and set to the signal meter. Wait until it gets close to 72 as it will slow down in it's movements and watch the signal meter on the TV. When it shows locked on 72.7 with a strong signal, remove power to the Travler control box. I plug the plug but there is also a 2 button sequence in the manual that I have forgotten. You have to be quick.
Don't worry if you miss it as it will come back and try to lock over and over until you stop it or the motors wear out."
I'll give it a try 'for fun' but won't work too hard at it. It sounds like about as much trouble as setting up my manual tripod for those cases where I'm blocked from the southwest sky. I've read enough to know that Mr. Bill is a very knowledgeable resource in these matters. It appears to be a dead end with my particular equipment.
Thanks everyone for your time in responding.
