In one of the questions recently posed on this forum was that a listener had the wrong frequency and that was why he could not receive the desired satellite. This was determined that he had the wrong frequency.
The two frequencies in question were - 10600 and 10750.
My question is - How does one prove that he/she has the correct frequency?
I have always used 10750.
When would I need to use 10600?
I await your response.
10600/10750 frequencies

Re: 10600/10750 frequencies
I would say to just be happy that you can view the channels, some others here may not be able to see them.
If one person gets a particular TP and channels on one frequency but someone else says they get the TP and channels on what appears to be another frequency then I would say that its possible that one of the receivers is either of poor quality or has internal issues, also sometimes having a Dish and LNB out of tune can cause a frequency digit to be off here or there.
If its a case where (You Just Have To Know) The only way to know which is likely the right frequency is to find the TP and Channels on sites like (Lyngsat or Satbeams, etc) as they should have a lot better equipment than we have in our homes.
Good Luck!

Re: 10600/10750 frequencies
There should be a label on your lnbf with the oscillator frequency (e.g. 10600, 10750, 11250, etc). Some will say 'universal' which means there are two oscillator frequencies (e.g. 9750/10600 or 9750/10750) used for the lower and upper ku band and selected by an on/off tone. You need to set the right lnbf frequency in your receiver settings so they match. This will let you scan the correct transponder frequencies which is helpful if you are trying to scan something manually.
Re: 10600/10750 frequencies
dishcrank is correct.
My issue was self caused. I recently replaced the shotgun riding Ku lnbf on my 12' dish and forgot to check the new L.O. frequency. After new blind scans on all Ku satellites, everything that is viewable was viewable so I thought all was good. A few days later when I tried to add a specific satellite transponder frequency I couldn't receive it. With a new blind scan of this satellite, I could watch these same channels but they were on a much different frequency. When tvroadmin pointed out the difference of 150, I immediately had my Homer Simpson DOH! moment. I checked the other Ku transponders and they were also all off by 150. My original lnbf had an L.O. of 9.75/10.75GHz and the new replacement lnbf had an L.O. of 9.75/10.60GHz. So changing the receiver setting from 9750/10750 to 9750/10600 and re-scanning all Ku satellites solved the issue. Now all frequencies match those in the satellite chart listings.
The same type of issue can also happen with H/V if your lnbf is rotated 90 degrees off. If the satellite chart listings say H and yours come up V, or vice versa, rotate your lnbf.
DOH!
