Why won't these channels scan in on my minibud? I am getting very good quality on that transponder, well above a "lock" value, why won't they come in? I have tried several receivers and I have tried scanning that tp by itself, still no luck????
CW channels at 91w

they require a manual PID entry. They will NOT scan in by themselves
What receiver are you trying to get them on?
Most receivers you can do an advanced scan and enter them manually with the info from thelist

And the reason that no receiver scans them in, is that the PID information is NOT in any of the tables of the datastream . 
Not to change the subject, but can you do manual PID on the Manhattan with the May firmware, or will we have to wait until the new release is out?
Jeez, I can't remember. Go to the transponder menu, select a tp, press the blue button to search, and then arrow up and instead of scan mode "Normal" arrow right to scan mode "PID" . If it's there, it works.
Manual PID entry IS there somewhere, I'm not in front of mine at the moment though. But I do recall its not obvious...you have to change some other seemingly unrelated menu item to get to it.
Coolsat 4/5/6000s are the easiest way to add them....a monkey shine way of doing it but can be done
PM sent. If you want, send me your channellist and I'll Put in the CW channels. Michigan guys got to hang together !

With Winter coming I think that is freeeeeze together!
Will dig it out of machine and send.

Channel list back to you. I noticed that the revised editor ( which does not require renaming the .dbs extension to .abs) greys out the PID area, while the original editor ( which DOES require renaming the channel file) works just fine. I've heard people complaining about this at time, but thought they were crazy !

File works!
Thank you very much! I think I have problems with the editor because my cat is holding the mouse.That IS the exact problem I found with the editor. Grayed out. Found a different one that RT still has not been able to get it to work. Maybe some day. . . .
Nice to have people here that know how to do things.

Here is a version that actually allows you to edit PID info, but the file must be re-named to ".abs" to be editted, then renamed ".dbs" after saving.

And here is a link to a tutorial with a step-by-step tutorial for adding the pids for CW with the editor:

brentb636, Phatwound, Gave the info to the cat and he had it figured out in a few minutes. I did notice in the tut that a left click really was a right click. But it all works now. Thanks SatGuys.

have a cup on me. . . .
P.S. OP Mikey11, did you get it to work for your unit?
