Hello,
I have a 90cm fortec star dish, Avacom LNB (linear and circular), Diseqc1.0 switch,
HH90 motor and merc II receiver hook up in that order.
I am consistently got 70%-75% signal, but 55-60% quality. Skew angle is at 0.
I am trying to optimize the signal and quality and have a few questions:
1. Is there a way to measure the elevation of the dish to check against calculated value? Would this measurement be the difference between calculated value and offset angle? the reason for this is the mount that come with the dish if a U bolt mount with the elevation scale adjustable via two nuts on two arcs. There seems to be enough play in the arc to make a different in the elevation and I just want to be able to verify the elevation. this is the U mount bracket.
2. I have a merc II and was wondering what is the signal bar indicated? Is this power from the LNB? or something else. What is the quality% measured? i.e if you have signal should you not get similar quality?
3. Does distance and impedance on the RG6 cable have affect on quality and signal? what is the distance limit on the RG6 cable from LNB to receiver.?
4. Does
Diseqc switch add loss to the signal and quality? If so what is the dB reading corresponds to in %?
5.
Motorized system, in general does signal/quality degrade with motor in the circuit?
Thanks.
