superdish "check"

[rjad]

I seem to remember seeing on the check switch screen a "checkbox" for superdish. Anybody know what that is really doing? Do we need to select the superdish "check" for the newer dishes such as dish 1000+, 500+, etc? Are they considered superdish too?

Go to http://rweb.echostar.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/equipment/dish_pro.shtml,
at top - click on "DISH Pro" and then click on "Check Switch Test".

- Check SuperDish for FSS locations.
- Check Alternate for Puerto Rico

The SuperDish 121 and SuperDish 105 uses FSS satellites at 121 and 105 respectively.

Since the Dish 500+/1000+ uses FSS frequencies at the 118.7 location, I would assume that you would check SuperDish.

The most that can happen by checking it, is it runs additional series of tests which would take longer.

I recall while using DPP44 those check boxes have nothing to change for resulting matrix, perhaps DPP switch/DP LNBFs combination.

From one check switch to another, I find that sometimes it does nothing different by removing or adding the checks. (Therefore, the Run Check Switch without anything connected.)

However, a few months ago, when I did check switch many many times between using a DPP44, DP34, and DiSEqC switches, I noticed that checking and not checking SuperDish and Alternate could cause the 622 to run several additional tests.
