No signal odd/even transponder alternating with 96% signal

[dthevenot]

I have an alternating problem. I have a 3 LNB multisat. I have it tilted, elevated, and turned correctly. 110 is fine at 96%; 119 is fine at 96%; and 101 is where the problem is happening. One minute the odds are at 0% and the evens are at 95%/I go check some things Ive read and then the odds are at 95% and the evens are at 0%.

***Bonus issue***, I have two receivers and the problem goes away when I have both receivers on pulling signal strength in the setup menu on 101. But when I turn one receiver to another sat (110 or 119) or turn it off, the other receiver follows odd/even 0% signal problem as described above.

What is going on? I have checked the terminals at the LNB and the grounding block. They look good, they are tight, and they are only 2 months old. I have even swapped out the LNB with no change.

Does anyone know what I can do? From what I have read, it sounds like connector issues. Do I need to buy a crimper and some connectors? Or is it a bad ground?

you coultd disconnest the gnd to see if you have a problem there ...


you might have a wiring issue ... try to replace the connectors at all ends... if you replaced the lnb ... then the recvr is all you have left ... i think it might be a hair line short i one of you lines...
