Losing Transponders Intermittently

[Dr Porn]

I have a 301.013 with a DP 500. I keep having an issue where I lose only the even transponders on Sat 119. The odds and all of 110 are rock solid, but my 119 evens seem to come and go at random. Anyone have any ideas?

Thx

I can think of the three most obovious reasons

1. The switch is going bad

2. The dish needs to be re-alligned, how is the signal strenth

3. The LNB is going bad.

Since it is just the even on 119, I would venture a guess that it is the switch since a bad aim would cause all the 119 transponders to go, odd & even

A bad LNB would usually do the same thing odd & even going at the same time,

If it was wiring they would all goo to but check your wires and connections, just in case specialy if you up in ice and snow country.

Thanks for the input SJ. Signal strength is anywhere from 83 to 112 depending on transponder. Since it's a DishPro, bad switch or LNB is the same thing. I was just hoping someone else had encoutered this and was able to solve it (without buying another LNB :) )

Yes. same problem with a 4900 running MC camless , swaped to 301
and back up with no further Xponder problems.

Tried the 4900 again with a sw21 and/or a dp34 no help.
