Question I need Expert LNB advise

I just converted from a generic cir polar LNB to a new Invarcom QPH-031 and my signal quality has dropped somewhat. Also not picking up the Anik sats like I intended. Getting SBS 6 at 74W at quality 90%

I have a 80cm Fortec dish with a Stab HH90 motor and a Pansat 3500sd FTA rx. My location is central Florida (29N 81W).

Prior to the new QPH my quality on Echo7 was 85% now at 40%, Echo 8 was at 85% still at 85%, Nimiw 1.3 was 95% now at 70%. The signal levels have not changed.

I installed the QPH with leads to the DiSEqC, to the motor, to the FTA.

In my opinion the QPH works ok but for some reason I am not getting Echo 7 like I was previously. Did the extra weight to the dish arm make any difference? If so, how do I compensate.

Opinion requested.

What are you getting from the Echo sats? What receiver? What are your settings for the lnbf in the receiver? Which port are you working with on the lnbf?

E7 is Level 68% Quality 40% (before Quad quality was 90%)
E8 is Level 70% Quality 56% (before Quad quality was 90%)
E9 is Level 65% Quality 40%
Nim 1.3 is Level 77% Quality 89% (no complaints here)

Lnbf settings
Lnb = Standard
Lnb Freq = 11250

Not sre what you mean when requesting which port I am working with on the lnb
