How do I scan only the top freqs with a universal LNB?

[ken2400]

I have a Viewsat Extream and a universal LNB. It works fine and all BUT I want to only blind scan the top part of the band to speed things up.

Any thoughts? Could I change the settings?

Thanks

change LNBF LO to 10600 and turn 22k on

Thanks Ice. That and set to standard works.

Thanks Ice. That and set to standard works.

Yes but isn't the chanel frequency off by 150mhz

 

[Mr Tony]

nope. When you set the LNB LO to 10600 that is the high band on a Universal (9750 is the lo band)

IT all works out just fine when it scans in

Agreed for universal, but if you set the LNB to standard using a universal as Ken says you would be off frequency

 

[Mr Tony]

nope

When I use a UNiversal I set it for 10600 STANDARD too...

 

[Mr Tony]

Standard setting means there is only one LNB LO so it can be anything
5150
9750
10600
10750
11250
other parts of world I've seen 11300

I have 2 european receivers and they default the LO to 10750 when I set
the LNB as standard and 5150 for C band. I have to set the LNB to user defined for any thing else.

 

[Mr Tony]

some receivers do it that way too.

I know the Quali wont let you change the LNB LO to a manual setup. They're all pre-defined
