Sathawk 3000 Acting strange

Today I did not have any call because it was raining here so I thought I would check the calibration on my Sathawk 3000 meter. I started with a 32” dish pointed to I5A. I used Samsung 0.4dB, connected that to the meter and check quality reading on the meter (Vertical polarity since horizontal does not work).The meter reading was 83%. I then used GeosatPro 0.4dB on the same dish. The meter reads 92%. After that was Sadoun 0.4dB standard lnb. Meter reading was 96%. After that was Pansat 0.4dB. The reading was 98%. Every time I changed the lnb I was checking the signal level on my fortec classic receiver, it was the same on all lnb’s used (78%-79%.)The question is: Why was I getting different readings on the meter but the same reading on the receiver?

Let me respond with what Sadoun will tell you and anyone else who has issues with thier SatHawk. "Make sure your data file is the latest version A4.2 and that will fix everything."

4.2 is the worst version ever released. So many problems and no one cares to fix it. Thank you
