Invacom help!

[jself1982]

Ok, got the Invacom LNBF and the Disecq switch. Hooked it up. Now from here I have no clue. I don't even know what settings to change on my Mercury II, can someone please help. Also, does it matter what L/C jack you use? Also, my Disecq switch is making a clicking noise, is this normal?

L is for Linear signals and C is for Circular signals......

Linear L.O. 10750

Circular L.O. 11250

Do I need to change the LNB option on the menu? I'm also getting a lower signal strength too.

 

[PSB]

Yes the LNBF has to be set up in the antenna screen.

 

[jself1982]

Which option do I select? There is options for LNB 51 something, 10 something, 12 something, User-defined LNB, and Univ LNB 9750, 11xxx...of these options, which do I choose? Then do I have to change it on every satellite in my antenna setup? I got the Linear to work because I still get the normal FTA however when I go to 119, 110, 107.3, and 82, I get nothing, My C goes thru port 2 and I have 22mhz ON, and it still only gets the Linear side but nothing on the circular side. I also noticed my signal has dropped since adding the Invacom, what tweaking do I need to do to get my signal strength back over 45%? I also tried using the Diseq option rather than USALS and couldn't get higher than 45% either...any advice? Or do I not know what I'm doing?

You would have to change to the C port on the LNBF for the ITC channels on DBS

Do not have the Mercury receiver but user defined should let you enter the correct L.O.

 

[jself1982]

I changed it on the user defined...I now have lost half of my channels on G10, says "No Signal"-- Does it matter which L/C I have the cables hooked in on the LNBF? Is RG6 the type of cable I need to use?

 

[PSB]

RG6 is GOOD! Both C inputs are the same, as are the L inputs.

turn your 22Khz to off for this lnbf.

 

[jself1982]

I think I got it working now, when I turn 22mhz off it doesn't pick up anything. Although it gets all the scrambled channels on Dish, I don't get the audio, why?

 

[mrweather]

All of the free audio is on 119. You may be pointed at a different Echostar satellite (110, 121, etc.)

Also...

If you have the Invacom SNH-031 single, LO is 10600.
