Yep, stand by your bed on this Llew as i could be talkin out me ass!. The LO was set for 17085 which made the Hor nag feed read out correct on the Promax etc so i know the frequencies were right but iv'e a sneaky suspicion that it might have been a bit of Vertical getting through ?, but even so, there are no vertical frequencies logged that high up.
Iv'e gone back to the XMW and rotated it to Hor for more secure monitoring for a day or so.

OK John. I was using the Hughes A-Band LNB, which is very sensitive compared to my Norsat or SL3, particularly for the Teleippica feed, so should find anything up there in H or V.
