Sat link meter shaw programing

[Dexter82]

Got a new meter and can't get it to lock. I'm thinking the settings are for the older shaw lnb not the new xku that I have. What are the new setting I need to program in for the lnb. Also would the tp setting that I have now still be correct or did those change also and the dish I'm connected to is already pointed and this is all I'm getting

The xku LNBF has a single LO frequency of 10070. Currently your meter is set-up for a Universal type LNBF (two LO 9750/10600).

Unless the LO frequency is matched, the meter is not monitoring the correct frequency and will not lock.

Change the LNB type to single (or standard) and LO frequency to 10070 to match the connected LNBF.

So what would i set the LO and HI to to get it to work

 

[Dexter82]

here are the setting i can edit
LNB type: Single, Ku, Universal
Low Freq
High Freq

 

[Magic Static]

Set LNB type to Standard, then you will only have LO(w) frequency to set. Set or enter LO of 10070. 22khz will be off

 

[Dexter82]

ok when i get it to single it sets the lo and hi to the same and still no change also tried setting the hi to 00000 nothing.

I'm not familiar with that particular meter but it is set correctly now from what I can see. Does the meter do DC2 signals? It should I think. But the next step make sure you have an active transponder entered in the meter.

 

[Magic Static]

The SR for that transponder is 19510 and you have it set for 20500

ok that got a little more to happen lol but jumping all over and will not lock?? the quality no go 20, 58, 70,82,50,10 all jumping around

And before I totally forget my manners to SatGuys

Do some searches on that meter. I think you may find that is characteristic for that meter with some signals.

Some listings have that transponder set to SR 20500.

Is that a single LNBF or multiple LNBF with internal switch? Model?

 

[Dexter82]

are you suew about the tp setting here is a list i found and for Anik F2 it was right and SR you said i think is for the other sat
Anik F1/F1R (107.3W) at -1073
TP 11715 SR 19510 Pol V FEC 3/4
TP 11728 SR 19510 Pol H FEC 3/4
TP 11745 SR 19510 Pol V FEC 3/4
TP 11758 SR 19510 Pol H FEC 3/4

Anik F2 (111.1W) at -1111
TP 11745 SR 20500 Pol V FEC 2/3
TP 11758 SR 20500 Pol H FEC 2/3

 

[Dexter82]

heres the lnb built in switch and picks up 2 satellites i think

 

[Magic Static]

You are right. I got it confused. I was reading another thread about Ku issues with 107w anik f1R and looked up the wrong satellite transponder list.

 

[Magic Static]

It has a built in 22k switch. The 22k switches you between the 107 and 111 locations. So switch the SR back to what you had and turn on the 22khz

 

[Titanium]

Correct. For 111.1:

LNB type: Single
LO: 10070
22KHz: On

 

[Dexter82]

nothing back to 0

 

[Magic Static]

Well it appears the meter will not do 8PSK DC2. The signal on the other sat is not 8PSK.

 

[Dexter82]

can i use it to point at anik f1 then but it is still doing all the same stuff there
