I take back what I said earlier as I was just looking at the feed from my PC card on another machine and not checked signal levels. All 3 feeds are booming in here :) Shame I have to leave in an hour :(

Funny thing is with Dr. HD F15 I am having a very good Signal 12.7db but when I put Rx in Scan mode nothing is found. I am using F/W 1.25 Any ideas why?

Not really.....I'm using 1.21 which has a date of 2011. I haven't used the motorised set up very much this year so didn't feel the need to update. Sorry I can't shed any further light...

Found out why Channel memory full:D....had to change F/W to 2.10 to see that message. F/W 1.25 doesn't state that when doing a scan.
