Hello all,
I've got Starband Nova satellite internet, & I need to re-aim my antenna.
I bought a Channel Master 1007IFD signal meter & haven,t figured out how to use it correctly! The instructions seem kinda vague to me...
Heres how I tried- Connected the meter to the dish LNB, turned on signal meter, selected 18v/ level/ & tone switch.
I don't know what setting to use for the gain knob, so I set it mid position.
As I rotated the dish the analog dial indication would increase, I got it to where it seemed to peak & than secured the antenna & reconnected my modem.
Made no difference at all- still no signal on my modem. When my system was working well I had put marks on the dish mast to indicate where it was aimed when working, so I don't think I'm too far off.
Any advice on how to properly use the signal meter would be great!
One other thing- I noticed when I put my hand between the feedhorn & the dish, the meter indication would jump up... I would think that would block the signal to decrease the indicated signal???
Thanks for any help!
