Hi, I just wanted some opinions on my setup.

I had a existing setup with a nfusion HD that runs close to 200' of RG6 out to inline amp then goes to SG2100 motor running 33" dish with vanilla LNB.
This setup had been up and running for the last few years fine pulling in b*v & DN.

My new setup: I left motor as it was, installed new 39" dish with a Ecoda 0/22khz switch running to a Invacom QPH 031 LNB.

I am running the linear side of the Invacom off the ON side - 22khz tone
and the circular side on 0khz of the switch.

My closest sat to South [for my longitude] is 125W so I was trying to get a signal off of that bird but was running out of daylight to work.:grr:
Thought I would post this up to see if I did my homework properly :innocent:

I didn't have the need for 4 ports so that's why I didn't use a DiSEqC switch and with my long run thought that the 1.5dB loss of the Ecoda was a better way to go.

Any thoughts?

What kind of an inline switch is that?

125w the closest to true south ? Where are you located ?
A sw21 is fine - you would use a diseqc switch if you had more than one dish.

Longitude is 124.8
Switch is Ecoda 0/22khz [EC-2111]

Setup looks fine, except I would loose the inline amplifier, IF it is new to your setup. If it was part of your old setup, and worked fine then, I would leave that part alone.

Make sure that you use....

transponder 12104, Vertical Polarization, SR of 4340, FEC of 3/4

or

transponder 12112, Vertical Polarization, SR of 8703, FEC of 3/4

or

transponder 12180, Vertical Polarization, SR of 30000, FEC of 3/4

with any one of those set for 22KHz to find 125W.
