Greetings, Gents.
Another newbie! I spent most of yesterday trying to set up a SL65 with an 80cm dish. The SL65 works well as I was able to test it on a Sky dish that was already set up.
Took me a while to work out that I had to find out the offsets for the dish to get a particular satellite from my Long and Lat position. But I wasn't able to pick up anything at all anywhere.
I tested the coax (proper foil shielded) to make sure that there was no earthing. I connected the sattelite beeper - got nothing.
Signal Intensity never got about 40% and Signal Qulaity didn't get above 14% on any satellite setting, even when slowly adjusting the dish to find any satellite.
So any ideas? Is there a way to test an LNB? Or am I mising something?
Cheers
