[QUOTE="helgansven, post: 224311, member: 231175"] Thanks for the reply. The LNB is the same as the one that ranger mentioned above, the USM-TXR-KA01-F-01-110. Also, we don't use the WildBlue modems in Canada, we use the Surf Beam. Same unit, but the Canadian version says Surf Beam instead of Wild Blue. I played with this thing all day and I think i have made some headway. Since the LNB/TRIA on this dish will only receive Ka band, I figured that as soon as I got something on the meter screen, that would have to be it. There are only 2 sats in the south-west sky from Canada that carry Ka band so I would have a 50/50 chance. I set the dish and scanned the sky till i got a hit on the meter. I verified on the modem that it was indeed the signal i was after. Then I saved the wave form in memory. Now all I have to do is load the saved waveform from memory and scan the sky till i get a matching waveform. How cool is that! Then I hooked up the meter to a Star Choice dish and saved that waveform and did the same for all the different satellites I deal with on a regular basis. This is a very slick unit and I'm sure I have only touched on 10% of what it can actually do, but at least I'll be able to peak out an Xplornet dish which is what I was after in the first place. I hope reading this helps somebody else that has the same question. [/QUOTE]
