Back in 2008 there was a thread where I participated and HEATHERIL (sp) provided the KVH command to change the ECHO_110 FEC and also provided the sequence to install 129W as User1. I looked at LYNGSAT and other locations to check the parameters and appears that for most TPs the Symbol Rate is...

OK, thanks. I knew that 110W was 0x1006 and 119W was 0x1004, just didn't know how that equated to the "#2 and #3."

OK, I guess I don't know. What do you mean by it's #2 and #3?

Last night I changed to a 5/6 FEC and it wouldn't track at all so I went back to 7/8 and even though it's working funky it's tracking. I may try going back to the 99 FEC designation to see if that works better. I never did try 3/4 as suggested on one of the reference sites.

I tried the parameters given by HEATHRIEL and although it tracked 110 (after third alternate search) the overall system wasn't acting right and it seemed I was getting a high BER as it was searching and locking the satellites. Unfortunately I ran out of time last night and wasn't able to go...

Not really sure TracVision R4 and R5 systems are designed to automatically switch between 2 satellites. For Dish the directions say to check switch, wait 15 minutes for initall set-up and then recheck the switch. On mine that never seemed to work so I had to hook a computer to the maintenance...

May be wrong FEC code I looked at 2 sites that my KVH install manual recommended satcodx.com and lyngsat.com. Although they are a bit hard to decipher and in the case of FEC code give 2 different answers I think the proper FEC code is 56, not 78. One of the sites says the FEC code is 34 so...
