    Quality loss question

    I'm using a 10' sami mesh polar mount with a norsat 8515 lnb and chaparral super feed feedhorn. I can lock fine. 95% quality may sound good but it's just not enough for data. I'm getting quite a few mangled packets. I am not effectivly receiving anything over about 500kb in size due to lost...

    Quality loss question

    I've got my noaaport system fully up and running finally. I'm having a little problem with signal quality though. I can't seem to get it over about 95%. I'm using good quality coax, but about a 100' run of it. Voltage at the LNB(horizontal) is 17v. Could that last little bit of quality be...

    Twinhan problems

    Well, I got some help from a guy named Zack who I found on the AV satellite page under installers. I pulled the lnb off and checked voltages and verified angles the night before he came over. Once we got his stuff hooked up and swung the satellite back up into position. 2 turns of the...

    Twinhan problems

    If you can come up here, I'll pay your gas and $50, and if you can lock the dish on AMC2 or figured out what is not working, i'll pay you an extra $100, Once I know the damn thing is pointed right for sure, trouble shoot it from there. My biggest flustration is that there are so many things...

    Twinhan problems

    Well this is the 2nd twinhan card, in the 2nd computer. I also had an even cheaper card in there at one point, it would do the same thing except it would stay at 5%. The coax I pulled of off one of my old Wild Blue setups, it was working. The lnb is brand new. I'll check the voltages and the...

    Twinhan problems

    Ok, i'm gonna try the sun thing tomorrow. I do have my computer right next to the dish. Not only have I tried putting in values for different sats, but I have also moved around to several different places in the arc that the RS signal meter shows a strong signal with no luck either. It is a...

    Twinhan problems

    Tried the THmover, same result. I'm not able to lock anything. I've got a cheap radioshack signal meter also. Even when the signal meter shows 0, the thmover still shows 80. i can remove the turnbuckle and lay the dish to point at the ground and it still shows 80. WHen i would click lock...

    Twinhan problems

    Well, lets start with polarity. I cannot adjust polarity. My feed horn does not work like that. It's one polarity only. I can post the link yet so you have to google for "Chaparral Super Feed" It should be the first link. As far as mover program or diseqC, I use a threaded turnbuckle...

    Twinhan problems

    I've looked through quite a bit of stuff on this forum dealing the the problems with twinhan 1020a card but I'm having a problem I couldn't find. No matter what, my card always shows 80% stregth, 0% quality. Now, I'm new to the whole c-band. but I am sure I'm on my due south satellite. I have...
