Weirdness on Mercury II

(I posted this in another thread, but it belongs here so I wanted to repost it.)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

After not being able to receive new frequencies on my Mercury II when I did a blind scan, I decided to just trash all of my saved data and start over....

I performed a factory reset and rescanned in all of the satellites that I enjoy receiving programming from, (Galaxy 10, Hisp@30, Galaxy 25, AMC 3, etc.).

It was a timely process that took a half of a day (walking away and coming back) but it solved all of my weirdness problems, until...

I scanned in Galaxy 25. Like it was reported above, the offending Freq is 12152/H !

I deleted Frequency 12152/H and haven't had a bit of a problem in over 12 hours. (I deleted it last evening).

If I do a factory reset again and re-scan in all of my favorite satellites, next time I will write down all of the ones that I want to re-save. That may make it a little easier to put everything back where it was.

I am having a problem retrieving a certain channel on Gal 11 that I had entered in manually, but I am going to keep trying on that one, because I may not have entered it in correctly (4 or 5 times).

In summary, Factory Reset, GOOD! Re-Scan everything to restore to original condition! The Mercury II responds to the remote and does what it is supposed to do now. (oh yeah, and delete the 12152/H on Galaxy 25)

Thanks!!
Bill
