Up and running w/tripod mounted 1000.2 & Twin, EA Hybrid LNBs. All seems well.
(As OP I guess I can hijack my own thread with a related but off topic question.)
While I have the attention of Solid Signal and the forum’s resident Dish brain trust, do I need a new meter? My trusty old Acutrac III+ doesn’t seem to work very well with the new hybrid LNBs. I used to get something in the teens on empty sky and 60s or 70s peak. With the new LNBs I get mid 50s with no signal and around 60 peak. The difference is so small that, even on high resolution, it’s difficult to peak the signal.
Is that just the nature of things now? I see a Solid Signal branded meter that looks a lot like my Acutrac III+. It has some nice features. Would it do better with the hybrid LNB signal?
