[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 1166212, member: 296628"] Thanks - john ... Nice catch .. I agree it is tricky to lock I think i misread the listing on flysat - and just assumed it was on the Africa beam :) Still puzzled why some transponders - (11995 being one of them) - are showing signal on both LHC and RHC and others like 12149 only show in one ? I,m using a plate in the proper C.M. 2.4 feed throat since last night ... and i,m finding that the depth positioning of it is also quite critical .. by setting it deeper i have strengthened some of the weaker unlocked transponders but lost a little strength from 12149 ... i have 11977 locked tonight which has some FTA channels on it ... unfortunately they are only shopping channels for jewelry etc - l.o.l. the strength of all Russian transponders has been increasing slightly here since late afternoon, there are quite a few that are 1 - 2 or three db below lock.
