I second that!

not making excuses, but heres usually what it boils down to... with everyone putting in 9000's nowadays, techs really dont have many 7000 repair modems floating around. the main reason is that installation companies must actually buy, and stock repair equipment. so if a company covers every...

sounds like hes doing legacy stuff. we do a bit.....i hate that crap. pes, nb's okemos.....hate 'em. the only stuff thats not too bad is the one ways like the repoints we all just did.

same here, and thats my point. i cant see how the average person would be able to get a hold of the noc everytime they move, right?

im not really sure its practical. mainly, EVERY single time the dish is relocated (more than 500 feet? i think), the modem will need to be released by the noc for a relocation. more or less, once a system is registered, its "locked" into its designated cell. im dont beleive the average joe...

what kind of pc (details are good)? ive seen a few issues with certain pc's running vista and the hn modems. another thing to check, out of curiosity.....when you scroll you mouse over the network icon in the taskbar, how many networks is it telling you your connected too?

a little out of my "main line" of work, but i dont believe thats possible. i think another modem would require another line. with 2 modems, it would make sense that there would be too much noise on the line?

why then does hns complain when a site is registered improperly as 1w vs. 2w for enterprise? ive never looked when i accidentally overlooked the 2w option, but ranging perhaps?

i havent messed with a 6000 in a while, HOWEVER, just using the larger 98 antenna for rain fade and signal quality issues is absolutely fine. you should be able to use the 1watt transmitter from your 74m dish on the 98 without any issue. however, i cant remember, and im too lazy to go get one...

Seriously, i thought i was the only person in the world who thought and understood that. I cant stand listening to people whine, granted they may have the right, but if its installed properly, it works. if its not installed correctly.....its only gonna work until............

there are only a few times when you would get a st14: 1) incorrectly input gps parameters when setting up idu, requires deinstall and re-input if all codes and gps coordinates. 2) bad odu. 3) now you say that these have been eliminated, the only other time i have seen this is when i was on the...

no ive been at it for 8 years now, im VERY familiar with cold and snow. its obviously just the first with the ka, as it came out in what april? but all we get over here is the wet suff, lake effect off of ontario. im hearing similar stories from our techs though......snow KILLS the signal...

had a repair the other day...... hn9000, 1w, .74m antenna, with no sqf inside. so i put the terminal into repoint and headed out to the reflector. i put my dapt in line and had a receive sqf of 2-4. as i brushed off the snow and ice, i watched the sqf climb right up to 189. it needed no...

hey tater, let me know which one you wind up getting....obviously we are all looking for one.

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.
