My Fortec Classic NA doesn't separate Signal Quality and Signal Level, so I'm simply listing the quality I've received.

11990 H 10799 SQ:46%
11995 V 4818 SQ: 46%
12080 H 25635 SQ: 59%
12089 V 3617 SQ: 19%

These low numbers are starting to make me wonder if my dish needs fine tuning. These are some of my 97 west qualities to help you make a comparison.

12115 v 22425 SQ:46% (Access America / Pastor Scott)
12177 v 23000 SQ:53%-60% bouncing

Looks like I need to fine tune the Ku dish. If you decide to use these numbers, take into consideration that this dish appears to be less than perfectly tuned.
