    I would make sure when you delete a TP that the channels dont go with it. The Coolsat will remove channels associated with a TP so if you delete the TP, you lose the channels

    I know the Fortec Ultra doesnt as my Pansat 1500 doesnt either....I would remove one TP that has channels on it and see if it also removes the channel (s) associated with it.

    Deleted channels too along with the TP's.

    Finally having to do a factory reset. I have read the reviews of most of the receivers but I am asking, what is a good FTA receiver, with a good blind scan, and with a good channel editor? I will just buy a new receiver, this is the 3rd time this Fortec has messed up. Just not happy with it anymore.

    Any input appreciated, thanks!

    I had a cooslat 5000 before my fortec mercury, the coolsat worked very well with channel master, an awesome channel editing app by sharpc. blind scan seemed to work well and it drove my motor without issue.

    if your looking at a new non-fortec ird Id take a look at the coolsat, their a good value for the money. Ive also been told the traxis are nice ird's as well.

    I love my merc II. I also have a CS5K and the CS gave me fits like you are describing at times and also flaked out a couple times on my motor to where I had to zero it and restart things. I have not had one issue with the merc II since I got it setup.

    But if you don't like the merc II, I too would recommend a coolsat. I can also second the comment that Traxis seems to be quite popular with the guys here too.

    I use a Coolsat and love it. Be warned that it does the same with the TP as your Fortec when you delete TP's, but I use channelmaster and delete the TP's that arent needed. Real easy to work with and the blind scan is fast

    meter sucks on it though
