I think I lost my low Ku band

[N5XZS]

Something wrong with my lnbf or my Edison receiver setting may have mess thing up while DXing 117W* bird.

The freq, range is missing from 10.7 to 11.7 GHz.

The 22khz setting in the Edision set to "Band" ?

 

[N5XZS]

Yes, I set it to "Band" but for some reason I am not get any signal lock on low band and the same time I get Ku mid band just fine.

Did you ever get it back?

 

[N5XZS]

Nope, I even try swapping out LNBF, but no luck.

Must be my Edison receiver conferigation setup in advance mode.

I thought I set it at band mode for universal and should be triggering 22 KHz to get Ku low band.

Still scratching my head.

Any other ideas?

22khz should be on when frequency is above the switch point 10600

 

[N5XZS]

OK will try that and may have to swap my LNBF again tomorrow, since it's getting dark and too cold for my taste!

I am tropical type guy used to stationed in Canal Zone, Panama.

For now just TV DXing tonight...

What are yo saying?
A universal LNB goes from 10700 to 12750 MHz, with 11700 as 'switching point' between low band and high band.
LOF lowband (22kHz OFF) is 9750, LOF highband (22kHz ON) is 10600.

Or did you mean something else?

For troubleshooting, put a cheapo satellite meter (with the 22KHz LED indicator) inline at the LNBF and see if the 22KHz tone is on when a TP below 11700 is selected.


If your dish motor is moving between satellites, the receiver's 22KHz / DiSEqC (which is just modulated 22KHz tone) generation hardware is working.

Thanks Ti,

For the heads up and yes my moter is working fine. Right now just waiting for cold morning to warm up, it went down to 28F*!

So I can swap out the LNBF and make sure I get the low Ku band back, if not get a cheap 22 KHz detecter meter.

 

[N5XZS]

No luck on Ku low band 22 KHZ switch.

May have go to electronic shop and see if they have cheap satellite 22 KHz meter.

Shouldn't cost no more than $20 bucks right?

Thanks Ti,

Will go for it as soon I can order it!

For now time being just good old fun TV DXing in mid Ku band for now!

Thanks for the help!

I have a universal lnb on 117w . I have my setting at band but i am not picking up anything below 11700. Should toneburst a or b be set?

These are the only required settings for a Universal type LNB with LO 9750/10600 all other settings are associated with switches and motor control.

Type of LNB/device; KU UNIV 9750/10600
Voltage mode: Polarization
Tone mode: Band
