I live in Phoenix and I happened to notice that the signal strength for the 103 (c) sat on all transponders seems really low. Generally the values are in the 60s and 70s with an absolute clear view of the sky. Is this normal?
I never really had any problems until just a couple weeks ago when we had some storms move through. When the rain was coming down pretty heavy it made sense when the signal cut out. But after the rain let up and it was only drizzling, I was surprised that I was still getting drop outs. That's what kinda led me to look at the signal levels. I am not sure if the wind associated with the storms caused a slightly unfavorable change in the dish alignment? What I do know is my installer back in February was running very late that day and wound up having to align the dish in the dark. Is it possible that she just left it marginally acceptable given that bad weather in Phoenix is few and far between.
The signal strengths on the other sats seem ok. Most transponders on the 101 sat are in the 90s.
