Fortec Lifetime Ultra - Power Scan - Ability to change Frequency Increments?

[Davage]

I've got my motorized setup going, I'm having a blast using the Power Scan option on my Fortec Lifetime Ultra receiver. I've noticed that the Power Scan doesn't find Dr Gene's University Channel on T6. I either need to manually key in that transponder info, or use the pre-programmed satellite frequencies when I do a scan on that bird.

Is there a setting hidden somewhere in my Fortec Lifetime Ultra receiver that will let me decide what frequency increments to use when doing a blind scan? I'd love to be able to do a really deep scan of a bird and let it run overnight to see what pops up.

Anybody know of such a setting and what menu / series of keystrokes on the remote I would use to change that setting?

I havent seen one on the Ultra. I know you can set the frequency range but not the steps.

Doc Scott is a bugger for me to pick up on almost all my boxes on a blind scan for some odd reason. I hit it about 1/3 of the time.

Doc Scott is the only cursing, cigar smoking preacher man I've ever seen - that is definately some entertainment that I've never seen on Cable TV or ExpressVu/Starchoice/Dishnetwork/DirecTV. I've set my receiver back to factory defaults a few times just playing with it, learning how the motor control works etc. I manually punch in that transponder info to make sure that I get Dr Gene on the screen! I'm just wondering what other treasures I'm missing, that's why I'd like to do a deep scan overnight of every satellite to see what I've missed

Fun Fun Fun! If I was a single man, I'd cancel my Expressvu subscription and just live off of what I could pick up on the Fortec Power Scans The wife isn't as patient waiting for the scans as I am.. I equate it to fishing.. Sitting there for a long time, and then I get a bite (transponder shows up on the screen). I wait patiently for the Power Scan to finish, then the satellite scan begins which is the fishing net that brings in the channels

Yep. I'm an addict. I need to go to BlindScan Anonymous.

I need to go to BlindScan Anonymous.

get in line. On Saturday's I blind scan SBS6, AMC5, IA8, G11 all the time looking for College Football games

The Fortec Lifetime Ultra receiver (discontinued) does not have the ferquency increments feature.

The new receivers from Fortec, such as the CLASSIC NA and the Mercury II, have this feature in their blind search mode.
