301.013 units not working

[retnuh]

Up until about six months ago, I was using three 301.013 units. Then all of these 301s started acting like a key update was needed. The guide would be up-to-date and they would display the free channels like 101, 500, NASA, etc.; however, all other channels would only display the channel info at the top of the screen. The picture would be a blank screen. I could pull the Atmega128 cards and place them in my 2700 and 3900 units and they would work fine. This was true with Phoenix or Satjammin.

Yesterday, I downloaded the latest Phoenix program and installed it on my Atmega128s. I am experiencing the same results. The 2700s and 3900s all work. The 301s do not.

Equipment:
301.013 single chip with NoRSA and public numbers
Software version X346
Atmega128 18.0 chip

Things I have tried:
Switch test (Receiving good strength on both satellites)
Hard reboot of receivers (Left unplugged for weeks)
Removing and re-inserting card

Any help will be much appreciated.

Don't you need to use the SK method on 301.013's? I never ran one with the NoRsa files, I'm sure it was private numbers. I remember adding a DT08 to a 301.0?? file to run it in a 2800 public number box, or something like that. Help us out guys, I can't remember anymore. Suffering from CRS Can't Remember Stuff.

smae here, my .013's started acting up the same way about then too, sometimes they'd even shut down and reset themselves a few times an hour. i got lazy with mine and dusted off a trust old 3900. my .013 had the same setup as yours, single chip, public, no sk.. i don't know what changed, my 508 never hiccuped

Well, just before the Atmega128s went down yesterday, except for locals, I got them to work. I tried several different suggestions from another site, so I'm not positive which one worked. I believe it was when I removed the "commercial" sports tiers so the software changed from X346 to P346. Try that and see if it helps.
