Need Satelliteguys help with readings on AMC2/4 (101W)

[SatelliteAV]

TP Frequency 11860 was switched over from AMC4 to AMC2 last week. We are working with several broadcasters who are located in that MUX and are experiencing very low signal levels.

Would a few of you SatelliteGuys provide Signal Quality readings on these TPs?

11708 - SQ
11822 - SQ
11860 - SQ
11983 - SQ
12020 - SQ
12120 - SQ
12160V S/R 30000 Test Signal - SQ

I broke this off so it would get more exposure...it came from this thread

Don't know whether my readings will be of much help, considering that my LNB for AMC4 is 6 degrees off-centre on a Star Choice 60e dish, but here goes:

11822 - SQ - 90
11860 - SQ - 30
11983 - SQ - 30-45 (very jumpy)

on 11708 (KUIL) try and drop the frequency a few to 11706 or 11705...it should pop in. (on the Visonsat I needed to be on 11705 for it to stay locked)
