Adjust the local oscillator, or play with the IF, the second option is strictly within the realm of the receiver software developing teamEven with the other LO options within the menus of the receivers I have to hand (universal, 10750, 5150 or 11300), the lowest available incoming frequency that could be received without playing around with the LNB internals is 950MHz.I am guessing here, but potentially adding one further LO within the receiver's LNB setup menu, 10250MHz (with 22kHz tone disabled) might force the receiver to start any seach for channels 500MHz below 10700MHz, but feedback from the tuner/demod section may throw up a 'does not compute' error.The Elanvision receiver used by the family does have the option of adding custom LOs but only within the second section of a dual LNB setup, the first being fixed at 9750, which automatically disables the 22kHz tone for a universal installed outside. To prevent the receiver having a conflict with the two LOs, I woul set the first to a completely different band, ie 5150MHz and use just the second for checking the amateur band.I can't remember offhand what the lowest frequency is from Es'Hail but 10450MHz appears in documentation with 10495 MHz DVB broadcasts  mentioned on various sites with an 8MHz transponder, forcing the onscreen LO down 300MHz to 10050 is all that is required to kick things off.The avoided - issue is the upper band is then locked to horizontal only (by virtue of older dual band LNBs using 18V to access the higher frequencies), but this is perfect for the Es'Hail2 payload.You'll thank me in the morning[ATTACH=full]124025[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]124026[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]124027[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]124028[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]124028[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
