DPP (aka DishPro Plus) LNBFs draw a lot of current (! 500mA) from receiver. SatHawk300 or BIRDOG can provide this much power and will shut down right away if you hook it up to one of these LNBFS. the meter will think there is a short in the connection (because of the high power draw) and will turn off. Repetitive tries will damage the meters.

It is advised to have a DISHPro lnbf with you to align the dish with it. Then remove it and put the DPP lnbf in its place.

Next generation meters will be able to handle the DPP, but not the current ones.

Good luck
