[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 938295, member: 402382"] Helen Without being an expert I interpret the frequencies and criteria numbers etc as given by ST in their November 2014 settings this way. Two criteria are used to align the antenna dish vertically and the other two horizontally with the dish searching for the Azimuth alignment (horizontal direction of the satellite) first and the Zenith alignment (angle to the horizon) next. I'm just guessing that ST only want to utilise one frequency as a signal input in the 'Signal' column and use the other just to check the alignment for both the H and V pairs in the 'Polarisation' column. If you have been able to confirm a successful memory reset (?) then do as I did and input all of the criteria as given in the procedure by ST. As I mentioned once I had followed the instructions the antenna did eventually lock on but it did take a long time for it to decide. I'm relieved to have my system up again by using the ST settings however because it takes quite a time to lock on now I'd prefer to go back to what we changed to a year ago as the dish locked on a lot quicker. However it's going to take a bit of checking the information on the FlySat web site to find the frequency(s) that have changed and then select something appropriate to change to. I might be able to put some time to checking what's changed however we don't return to the boat for a while yet so won't be able to test anything unless you a willing to try sooner if I come up with something? Hope this helps? Rvator [/QUOTE]
