mreaves53 is on a distinguished road
Typical quality numbers

I live in East Central Al about half way between Birmingham and Atlanta. On Ku I get on X0 about 60-65% quality numbers on on X4 I get 52-60% quality numbers on my Mercury II.

Is this about normal for this receiver and my location?

Thanks,

those sound pretty normal. may get a little better with higher quality lnb's but as long as you are getting a clear picture you should be ok.

Thanks Rainman.

I Like your lightning bolts, but miss your 'Cuda.
