Hello all! We have a winegard travlr dish that finds the satellites on it own. My question is when the coach sinks or settles a little the signal weakens. And we have to power it all the way down then let it search again. Is there a way to fine tune without powering down? Pl

I have the Winegard 3005 that automatically seeks the satellite signal. I would assume if your coach changes position the dish would automatically change to get signal. Maybe Bill Adams will see this post and give you a more detailed answer. He,s an electronics guru who frequently gives posts on these types of topics.

If you just power off the Winegard (push Power and Select together) and then power the unit back on (hold Power until you see Power On). It will not stow but go through a whole new search from the upright position. It will still take 3-4 minutes but it will avoid the full stow / full search routine saving 5-10 minutes.
