Hi! I have Norsat 8520 DRO with WNC 4x8 modded switch. This is the first time I am using multi switch. Can you pls tell me what C-Band lnb frequency I should use on my receiver? And is there any other settings that I should activate deactivate for multi switch ?
 
5150 for LO. 22Khz is used by a 4 input multiswitch* so no other 22khz switches allowed.
*to select which pair it's using. Then of the pair, LNB voltage selects which port.
Do you have a pair of norsats? One for H and another for V.

Set 5150 for lnb low. As for hooking up the switch, we need more details on your system. Basically you use a switch like that when you are using an Orthomode feed TWO lnbs, one for Horizontal, and the other for Vertical.

Yes I only have C- Band for now; So two Norsat 8520 DRO for V and H connected to none 22khz ports. Is this correct ? and apart from 5150 for LO do I have to select any other things?
 
Nope, as long as nothing else* is also in the system. Should appear and operate just like a normal LNBF. *switches n lnb's
Part to be watched for is having the V and H LNB's in the correct position.

Yes correct. Make sure if you see an option like 22khz or universal its turned off. Different receivers have different setup menus so without knowing what equipment you have ???? You could list your equipment in your profile signature to help us help you quicker.

Are you using the setup we had discussed by email? Do you need to set the DiSEqC switch ports in the receiver?
