Not getting anything here today.
Must not have fixed it 100%. At least that's what I'm hoping, and they return.

Well, AAAARRRGGGHHHH!
OK, messing around, appears I may be experiencing drift with the geosat C2 LNBF. Further investigation needed.
The weather here can't be called steady temps by any measure.

Note the polarity above... Likely why the KRBK mux is rather difficult to lock.

Vertical polarity? I got H, which is at sathint and lyngsat. Anyhow - i just manually increased the freq, waited a minute, repeat until it popped in. It's now 3720 from 3718.
It has always seemed a bit slow to lock compared to other channels on the sat.

KRBK is horizontal polarity but there is another MUX that is vertical on almost the same frequency on the same bird with a fairly strong signal. maybe if you can adjust skew to null out the vertical signal might help peak the horizontal. At least that is what I am getting here...

KRBK MUX:
Galaxy 16/C 99.2W 2608
3720 Horizontal 8703.477 8PSK 3/4 DVB-S2 OFF 0.20 Normal CCM 12.0dB s/n, -32dBm, BER: 0.0000000, Time to lock: 3724 ms 2016-02-03 9:14:24 AM

KRBK2.jpg Latest scan shows the vertical TP is gone?? The second vertical TP at 3725 is also quite strong so makes sense that moving down 1-2MHz would help lock.

I have found a fix for that KRBK problem. It's called WSJX and they broadcast just about everything there that's on KRBK except commercials! I haven't watched anything on KRBK for a couple of months.
