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.
 
I have them scanned in as 3723 AND 3721.I switch to whichever works better.At the moment,3723 is the ticket.Watching "Howling". AaaaaaRooooooooooooooo!
 
Galaxy 16/C @ 99.2W 2608
TBS 5980 CI Tuner
3720 Vertical 29999.696 8PSK 3/4 DVB-S2 OFF 0.20 Inverted CCM 66.868 35.999 12.6 -42 MIS: 0, BER: 0.0000000, Time to lock: 1711 ms 2016-02-02 2:34:23 PM

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.

3722 works for me..H
 
I have missed that channel but not missing it. Fat air you are right i have been having trouble with it but it shows up at 9q.
 
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.
