Dual LNB Signal difference

[Salsaman]

Maybe this is not unusual but I have a two room, 3rd gen RCA installation where in one receiver the signals are in the high 90's but on the 2nd are only on the low 80's. Cable is RG6 continuous run for each room and swapping lnb hookups does not make any difference. Not a problem, just thought the experts might have an explanation

If the receivers are different types they will read different anyway. I seem to never get the same reading from one receiver to the other. Is the IRD with the lower signal have significantly more cable than the other? It would take alot of extra cable to drop a signal as much as your talking though. But look at it this way, a 90 is great but an 80 is nothin to sneeze at either. You will more than likely never notice a difference between the two anyway.

Thanks for looking in PrivateGuy & Cellular,

No functional problem really.......just curious. Cable run length is within 10 ft with top notch weathertight connectors. Swapping receivers and LNB's doesn't make any difference....each receiver's (same RCA model)indicated signal strength stayed the same. Just tried a Hughes gold and it indicated somewhere in-between the RCA's. Went back and re-optimized dish with meter and couldn't get it any better either elev. or az. I'll trust the meter and for those who are serious hobbyists, this inexpensive device is a must-have.
