Thanks for three new transponders I didn't have in my list, rescanning now!

The Coolsat has a goofy meter and threshold is 63...most will read 70-72 regardless of what other meters say. Pansat is more "true" and did have some major bounce. 12177 bounced between 58 & 45 alot but was stable...30 is threshold on Pansat

The Fortec box signals are always a low reader, as of all the Fortec Stars I have owned in the past. The CNX box seems to stay the same (95) on strong transponders though, I really don't think no box reads 100% acurate! Fortec Merc II is funny sometimes and the Satpros, It is a guess at best!

The only real variable is the Mercury II is farther from the dish - probably 25-30' more cable.

It was a little adventurous going out on the roof to turn the dish. It had snowed earlier today and had just changed to light rain when I went out after supper (yeah, it was dark too!).

Hope all the info helps you out!
