[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 750025, member: 369937"] I greatly suspect that the receiver is FUBAR. My experience with equipment that has suffered an EMP or direct lightning hit is to go buy a new piece of equipment, as another problem can creep up and show it’s ugly head at a later date. EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse) can affect one piece of equipment but not another piece hooked into the same circuit, my TV and FM broadcast towers use to get hit all the time, and every hit took out something different. Ground blocks don’t protect equipment from EPM (or lightning) all they do is ground the coax shield, you need a gas discharge device inline to protect the equipment down stream. (from lightning) One other entry point for the lightning (or power surge) is through the AC power lines, the cheap surge protectors sold in many electronic stores do nothing for EMP and little for lightning, I recommend a good UPS system, some of the good ones come with equipment insurance, anything hooked into them is covered (if you send in the registration) if your stuff gets fried. (by lightning, nothing protects from an EMP, but they don’t know that) A good gas discharge device for satellite work can be found here, or something like it could be found on your side of the big pond. hXXp://www.protectiongroup.com/Surge/RF-Lightning-Protection/Type/75-Ohm/Satellite-System-Protector Sorry....I babble....Too much coffee in the morning..........My fault..:-lol [/QUOTE]
