    Polarity not changing - ASC1 & Amiko A3

    Back in business, finally. Thank all who responded for your expertise and patience., especially Brian. Power cycled the ASC1 when I got home from work. Appeared to be holding the correct polarities when changing xpndrs and, in fact was and is holding. While on 135W I adjusted the skew to see if...

    Polarity not changing - ASC1 & Amiko A3

    OK, Brian, Starting to make sense. With the weather here in OH (snow, ice, 10deg F), it will be difficult to go out to the dish to rotate the feedhorn. But at least I should be able to get things inside working electrically. With the A3 set to 13/18V (Automatic Mode) and saved, the ASC1 Cursor...

    Polarity not changing - ASC1 & Amiko A3

    When I set the A3 to 13/18V and leave the ASC1 at 18V, the Vertical xpndrs disappear. Still no Joy on Horizontal. After my recent post, I manually moved the ASC1 Skew pointer to Vertical. Horizontal xpndrs came in strong. So, I can get both H and V xpnders if I manually change it on the ASC1's...

    Polarity not changing - ASC1 & Amiko A3

    KE4, Saw your post. You can see from my response to Magic, 18v shuts down everything. No Vertical, no Horizontal. Yes, I have an ADL feedhorn with a co-rotor and Norsat C-Band and Ku lnb's. Started in this game back in '84 with a Chaparral with Cal-Amp C-Band LNA. Then switched over to C and...

    Polarity not changing - ASC1 & Amiko A3

    Magic, I thought that the 13/18 volt was used by the ASC1 to interpret the polarity switch. But, I tried your suggestion. Set to 18V, the Vertical signal disappeared. Still no Horizontal xpndrs. Regarding the 45/-45 skew, right or wrong My receivers have bee using 60/-30 for well over 20 years...

    LNB question

    A number of years ago I had the same problem. The lnb was new. As the evening went on, and the temperature continued to drop, the signal level would slowly decrease so that by 11 or 12 o'clock there was no signal. At first I could not figure it out. But, after a while, I came to realize that it...
