PEAKING ISSUES WITH BIRDOG

[forvicjr]

HAS ANYONE HAD AN ISSUE WITH BIRDOG METER AND THE ECHOSTAR 100O:rant:.4 LNBF. THIS LNB IS PACKAGED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE OLDER VERSIONS ITS IN A TAPED BOX AND PLACED IN MOLDED PLASTIC TRAY,INSTEAD OF THE FLIP LID BOX AND PLACED IN A PLASTIC BAG. THIS "NEW LNB" SHUTS MY METER DOWN ON 61.5 AND 77 BUT ALLOWS PEAKING ON THE 72. THE OLDER LNB THATS BOXED AND IN A PLASTIC BAG DOES NOT DO THIS. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

power up the lnb from the receiver before you point the dish

YEA I KNOW THAT WOULD WORK BUT ON INSTALLS I USUALLY WORK FROM THE DISH FINISHING THE INSTALL INSIDE. KINDA SCREWS WITH MY ROUTINE. SO U HAVE HAD THE SAME PROB ? WAS HOPIN FOR ANOTHER SOLUTION I HAVE BEEN JUST PEAKING THE 72 AND CHECKING STRENTH ON 61 ANG 77 VIA RECIEVER.

unfortunately thats my routine as well but around here we only use 1k.2 now unless we have los issues then we fall back to 1k.4's i've found if i don't run my birddog more than 2 to 3 days on 1k.2's i normally have no need for extra power

Do you have the capability to turnoff your Caps Lock? All CAPs posted on the internet is considered to be shouting and impolite.
