The QPH031 is STANDARD and the FSKUv is UNIVERSAL. So make sure you have the correct settings for the LNBF when you switch from one to another.

have tried with all the configs shows on the diagrams that cames with the LNB . have the linear cable going to the FTA reciver and the circular going to dish reciver. Any way the echo works ok so is the AMC-KU 101 with full signal but all others no lock, there is one setup that will try tomorrow ( the 2 C first and third cable going to the 21 dish swich and the forth L cable going to the FTA.
One question on the setup screan under LNB i see universal followd by the other frequenzy setups but not see the standard , wich is the standard or what i got chuse for the standard setup.
THANKS, Having lots of FUN setting this up

I am using one of these (Invacom) and have been frustrated by something similar.

I would often lose the signal whenever I am in a setup menu. It would act like the LNBF had quit. Finally noticed that, even though this is not a Universal (low-band/high band) LNB, I still have to turn on the 22 KHz to make the Ku FTA Band work. Often, I can then turn 22K off and it stays working. But, occasionally it drops out again. It usually will fail when I go in to a setup again, unless I left the 22 KHz set to "ON" (not to "Auto").

This is with a new Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra.
