For those having trouble blind scanning in the transponder (which I get at 11801 H 2686), do you have the LPB Baton Rouge Feeds (11804 H 1250) transponder scanned in? If so, I wonder whether the close proximity of the two transponders is causing it not to blind scan in. I found the new transponder first on the Pansat 3500SD during a blind scan. Since it was very close to the LPB transponder (which I believe had scanned in at a slightly lower number than I now get it) and the LPB transponder had been flaky (always strong signal, but sometimes was hard to get it to show up) I deleted it before I blind scanned for the Patient Channel, since when I checked it before blind scanning for the Patient Channel it was no where to be found. Anyhow, the Patient Channel transponder showed up on the first blind scan, but later it did take several detailed scans (setting the AZBox scan step to 1000 KHz) for the LPB transponder to show up.
It might be very similar to 30W which has numerous transponders that are very close to one another, and a blind scan (unless very detailed), will constantly miss some. Even a detailed scan can skip over one or two!
