What is the correct LO setting for a SuperDish?

downloading it now, but it will be tomorrow before i can dive into it

this first test is with a non centered c-band lnb cause it was diseqc 1.0 port 1 and 1.1 port 1 and multiswitch 1 (which i had to bypass) . Out of the gate (ku and C-band) the V transponders are still reading 13 volts in the bandstacked mode so i had to bypass.

C-band 5150-5750 on 99w yielded from 4120 h 3000 to 3735 h 3775 and
from 4140 v 3000 to 3773 v 4441
C-band LO s seemed ok.... channels seemed to match lyngsat. polarities ok.

Fss stacked 10750-13850 is a different ballgame. i do have about a +2 to 3 drift . it scanned-
11708 h 7161 to 12179 h 22999. All told it found 14 transponders
no v transponders at all, but they are in that scanned group, it just calls em all H . Like naming all your kids Joe. call em all in to supper at once?

To get 11842 in, i had to go back to standard 10750 and extend the range again.
it called tp 11842-
tp 12754 or tp 12752, heh 2 drift.

kodaz,

Thank you for the tests. We will try another approach.

I will keep this thread active through the weekend for any other reports.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Here are my results with a FSS Stacked SuperDish LNB and the original Super Dish Feed horn. This was using a 105 Fiber-Glass Super Dish. I also chose 105 because that is what this dish was supposed to be used for so, I took it off of 125 and put it on 105. This was with the microHD and OpenBox X3 to confirm.

Setting LO freq to 10750/13850 in menu:

1. 11865 H 3547---Macy's
2. 12049 H 30000----Data
3. 12139 H 2500----Unknown
4. 12145 H 3641---Unknown

Setting LO Freq. to 10750

1. 11865 H 3547
2. 12049 H 30000
3. 12139 H 2500
4. 12145 H 3641
5. 11865 V 3547
6. 12049 V 30000
7. 12139 V 2500
8. 12145 V 3641

Now I took the LNBF Assembly off and replaced it with a GEOSATpro SL1PLL and did a scan again, this time of course with the LO set at 10750.

1. 11856 V 3547
2. 12040 V 30000
3. 12130 V 2500
3. 12136 V 3641

There were also some wild feeds that I left off. I just went with the ones that are there all the time.

Notice the 9Mhz difference. That is strange and I have done this test a couple of times today and also once on the OpenBox X3 with the LO set to 10750 just to see if it was showing consistent and it does. So is the the LO in the Super Dish LNB 9Mhz different than standard?

I have seen that I'm also getting multiple scans of the same channels at different frequencies with my super monster lnb (knock-off invacom 51). 97w is really bad, I get multiples of half the channels so this may be what you are experiencing.

Thank you for the report. Guess we still haven't got the bandstack polarities logging correctly. We will continue to work on this.

I did not see it posted above, but did any of u use a multiswitch in your setup?
