SATHAWK 3000 Signal strength need help

[sal995]

I just installed a T90 satellite with 7 lnb on it and bought the sathawk 3000 to help in getting signal. I noticed i keep getting low signal strength around 33 to 44 and picture quality at 99

what do i need to do to get correct signal reading.

I uploaded latest file which is the 3.8

Many thanks

signal strength not as important as quality if youare getting a 99 on quality you should be good to go.

Hi Sal

You will need to Calibrate the meter.

Here is how to do it:

• When you have a lock on the satellite (you will see Signal Strength and Quality)
• Click on MODE button and hold until you see the calibration screen
• The first option is to calibrate the Signal strength
• Click Mode again (do not hold this time)
• You will see the signal srength and some calibration number on the right.
• Click and hold the Down arrow button until you see the signal strength increase to let's say 70-80 %.
• Stop
• Click Mode > Click Mode again to save.

You can calibrate the Quality as well, the same way.

Usually calibration is required depending on the size of dish you use.
You always want to have signal and quality at around 80% to allow you to fine tune the dish alignment.
