Dish 119 Even Transponder Problem

[jwagner]

Having some trouble, hope you all can help.

Dish 500 system, dual lnb, 2 sw 21's, 301 and 508. Check switch shows nothing to the even transponsers on 119.

Did a quick check of the cables on the sw 21's and they seem good. Have not yet checked the cables from the lnbs to the switches yet.

What do you think? Bad switch? Cables from the lnb to the switch? Any easy way to diagnose?

Thanks!

Jim

New idea. Signal strength on the available sats is very low, in the 50's. Could the Dish be out of alignment? It has been very windy the past couple of days.

Sound reasonable???

Sounds very reasonable. Collectors that lose signal on 1 set of circular polarities are off a little bit. They are less off than a total loss of signal of both, but a small adjustment is needed to "dial it in"
