[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 938132, member: 402382"] [SIZE=17px][FONT=UICTFontTextStyleBody]Hello Helen So you have suffered the same issue we did and from Analoguesat's last post I can now understand from the explanation what potentially has occured. To reset the memory it will require the green wire to have 12volts which logically as you are in a mobile installation should always be connected to ensure you never travel with the antenna up. In theory it means every time the vehicle ignition switch is turned on 12volts is applied to the receiver resetting the memory the assumption being the vehicle is moving to a fresh location and would need to search again. So I assume your green wire is connected however it would not hurt to look at the back of the receiver and confirm it is. Then another check to make sure 12volts is actually getting to the box put the antenna up and stop it searching with the handset. Turn on the ignition which should lower the antenna. From the November 2014 ST criteria provided I put in both Astra 28 and 19 and I did notice it was taking a fair bit longer for the antenna to lock on with those in relation to the settings we were using from last year. I was up on the boat two weeks back and the system was still good with the ST settings use as I described in my posting. Checkout the memory routine and let us know what happens. If still no success with those November 2014 ST settings then I will check back on our previous postings from last year as I am sure I wrote down what frequencies we used and I might be able to work through the website info as Analoguesat says and come up with something you can try. Good luck Rvator[/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
