How to use DAPT for pointing HN7000

[jbuendia]

I got the FSB for using a DAPT for Ku pointing and it states that a 22khz filter is needed.

However, the HN9000 kit states it is backwards compatible for replacing the OPI and does not state it needs a 22khz filter.

Anyone have any experience with this and or comments from actual tried and true or false experience and please do not comment on 'thought of'.

Looking for actual hands on experience.

Thanks

Yes I have found some versions of firmware that will let the dapt work alone. When we were doing the Sherwin Williams jobs I even used just the straight dapt and that was on 89. The version of firmware was 5.3.0.28. With the newer version I have not had any luck without using the 22k block. I did a TB today "which BTW are very time consuming packing up all that crap" and used the dapt with the 22k block and had no issues. I have even had some that would not crosspol without turning the opi off. What I have been doing on some of the smaller jobs is just hooking up a N router and taking my laptop up for pointing. Will not work everywhere of course.

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......thats what it is then....firmware. weve had a bunch of guys complaining that they cant get the dapt to work. whih would be why i was having an issue with 89 & 99.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the 22khz block filter?

[jbuendia]

Is there any1 that can tell me where to get this filter?? I've contacted my supplier and there no longer stock this item.

[dirkleearm]

P-10, RSI, or maybe even ebay. Who is your supplier?

[jbuendia]

I'll try RSI now that you mentioned it. Thank you for the help!!
