I finally found time to get the satellite list on my receiver straightened out, so I will have two listings for each satellite which are both C and Ku.

But I have found that the channel editor for the Mercury II does not work properly!

If I go to full screen, I can't see the things at the bottom like Network, CAS, TV Favorates, or Radio Favorates. (Favorates is misspelled and should be "Favorites".)

Additional problems are with adding satellites...

Try deleting all satellites in the list and adding a new satellite. Can't do it!

Then leave one satellite at the top of the list, and add satellites below that. Each time I add a satellite, I will enter the position of the satellite, but it will add .1 to whatever I entered.

Example I add satellite INTEL_9_K at 58.0 W

This comes up on the list as INTEL_9_K [58.1]

Then I need to edit it to be 58.0.

Then when I download this satellite list to my receiver, it lists the name and position of the first satellite (which I edited and did not delete), but does not list any other satellite names.

Example the channel list on my PC says...

INTEL_9_C [58.0W] (I edited this listing)
INTEL_9_K [58.0W] (I added this listing)
AMAZ_C [61.0W] (I added this listing)
AMAZ_K [61.0W] (I added this listing)

But after I download it to my receiver, it says this...

INTEL_9_C [58.0W]
[58.0W]
[61.0W]
[61.0W]

(My Mercury II receiver only lists the name of the satellite listing I edited, but for the satellite listings I added, it only lists the position!)

Software versions I am using...

PC CHEditor Version 1.0
Mercury II receiver Version V0151

Note: The SoftWare Downloader for the channel editor says V0.95, but my receiver (in Product Information) says Loader Version 1.00.

And why do I need to add satellites? Because I am using a BSC621-2 C/Ku LNBF on my big 12 ft dish and need separate listings for each satellite for C and Ku. I live on the west coast of the US and can see from INTEL 9 (58.0W) to ECHO 1/2 (148.0W).

The satellite list which comes with my receiver has 58 satellite listings, but I need 67 satellite listings to list every satellite twice which has both C and Ku.

If I lived on the east coast of the U.S., I would be able to see many more satellites and would need to add more listings than 67.

Following is my satelite list.
C = C-band, K = Ku-band, CC = C Circular, KC = Ku Circular
The names are shortened so they will display on the receiver.
I have used names of satellites which will be moving into position shortly.

Sorry to hear that. I only have a small ku dish and haven't found the time to use the channel editor; one of these days I'd like to try changing some of the numbers and names on the channels... hitting "16" and there are two, it only goes to the first "16"..., like on G10R.
