Hi all, I recently joined the ranks of fta fans by purchasing a Traxis dbs2550, hotdish75, and
sf95 signal finder. I was in a hurry to see what it would do so instead of waiting for my cable order to arrive I used an old
100 foot hunk of rg59 that had the ends already attached. I tried all day long to hit any satellite to no avail. I would get multiple hits with the SF95, but no signal quality. The next day my rg6 arrived. I tried it and same results. I finally took the meter out of line and drug a portabe tv
out to the dish site and watched the quality bar. Bang! I hit
IA5 ! Peaked to 75 % . Question, meter causing signal loss? Also next night we had a torrential downpour, is it normal to loose signal quality completly during hard rain??
