Fortec Star Mercury ll receiver will not switch satellites

[yeoldgrouch]

I hope some one can give me some advice. I have 2 of the above receivers just recently installed. Neither one will recognize or switch between the two satellites I have set up for. I have tried everything I can find in the manual to get things going. They say you can change the 0/22kHz but mine are on auto and I have not found any to change this setting. I have tried two switches and the results are the same. Only get chanels that on sat connected to input 1or A.

Thanks for any help.

Are you using 22KHz switches or DiSEqC switches?
What are the rest of the settings in the Setup Menu?
LNB Type, Standard or Universal?

DiSEqC switches
Universal LNB
one sat- lnb 1 AMC4
one sat- lnb2 Galaxy 19

Thanks for any help

Can you list your exact LNB model?
A Universal LNB has an internal 22KHz to go from Low L.O. to High L.O. so an External 22KHz can not be used, that is why you see Auto listed.
Look at you DiSEqC Switch, make note of where each LNB is connected.
Then in the Receiver's Setup menu, look for the DiSEqC Setting and select the correct port.

You can't use a 22khz tone switch , with a Universal Lnbf ( since the lnbf also uses 22khz switching to control the lnbf hi/lo range ). I'd try a Diseqc switch instead of the 22khz switch and it should work.

The Ecoda 2x1 is a 22KHz tone switch and is not a DiSEqC switch. Since the Fortec LNBFs are universal and use 22KHz for switching between high and low bands, the Ecoda switch cannot be used.

You will need a DiSEqC switch if using Universal type LNBFs.

I want to thank all who took time to enlighten me as to where my problem is.

I will replace the switch.

make sure to power off the receivers with the switch on the back when swapping switches

Make sure USALS is selected.
