    Default Tuning Meter for S-band 3620mhz

    I have been away from my dish for a year, and as a result of weather or shifting, I've lost lock on 2 transponders. I am tuning in 108.2 Indovision on Sband.

    I have a First Strike meter but it was only useful for C band as its range ends around 2150 mhz.

    Can anyone recommend a meter that will tune all the way up to 3620 lo?

    thank you

    3620 MHz is C-band.

    According to Lyngsat, Indovision is on SES7 in S-band, 2535-2655 MHz.

    All modern satellite meters tune 950~2150MHz.

    The output of C-band, Ku-band and S-band LNB(F)'s falls within the range 950~2150MHz, which is the input frequency of modern satellite receivers.

    Oh! I see where 3620MHz comes from .... the specifications for an S-band LNB state L.O frequency: 3620MHZ.

    But the specification goes on to state .... Output Frequency Range 950 ~ 1100 MHz.

    If your LNB(F), answers that specification, your First Strike satellite meter should suffice.

    You are of course correct Tristen. I got confused having not worked with this for over 2 years now.

    I did get the meter working again, it took a re-read through the manual for me to find my flaw. This meter works fine.
