Not sure what the signal strength should be. the lowest numbers are 1-8 is 98...
Anything in the 90s is fine on most xponders. There's another signal screen.. I believe it's call Test Signal strength. There you'll see a horizontal bar which should be somewhere in the 90s.
Also, back on the xponder screen, check each satellite (in addition to the 101). Those should at least be in the 70s (but not all xponders work).
When raid-fade occurs, it could be confined to programming on the weaker sats. That's what I'm looking for.
