Winegard SK-SWM-3
Has anyone installed this model yet? I did and have nothing but problems from the get-go. Even though the control box shows a lock on 99 101 103 my HR-24 keeps showing no lock on 99 and 103. ...

Just curious. Does the receiver have to be disconnected while the dish is searching? I have an inline meter that I use when setting up the SWM3 dish. The receiver must be disconnected from my splitter for the meter to work at all.
I have been kind of waiting for Winegard to come up with an SL3 model. If everything is working well for you it may be time to pull the trigger.
No, you do not need to disconnect your receiver(s) from the Winegard SWM Trav'ler. The electronics lock out the receiver during the search routine and restore a connection once the search is completed.
Bill:
Is this still true if you retrofit an SK-3005 with a SWM8 switch to make it into a SWM version? What part of the system locks out the receiver since this wouldn't have been required with a Slimline-5 setup?
