Thanks for the tip Nelson ..
,,Its just sooo frustrating ..that 8db would allow most signals to lock ...but we've seen this oddysey before on startimes
just out of curiosity I tried locking the higher startimes mux 3948R with the TBS card ..
No way will it comply ..
Here is a capture to show that I _can_ see it ok ...but as you can see yourself ...no sr or fec ....so no lock ..
that will remain a mystery ..but I think is is an 8psk/sr issue ..
Never had problems before they went to 8psk ..
Looking at the constellation ...you'd think it would lock no probs.
