Ok, I was bored and found an SW42 while digging through some boxes. So, I tried this:
SW64, 110 sat, ports 2a/2b
SW42, 119 sat
SW21 ties both together,
301/13 rec, s/w P203
First attempt:
Did not check the superdish, 38 tests, came up: sw21 3sat
SW42 as sat 1(119 on sat 1), SW64 as sat 2(using port 3 from the SW64)
Input 1 1 1 1 2 2
119 119 110 110 x x
odd evn odd evn x x
Problem detected, check connections.
Second attempt:
Checked SuperDish, 50 tests, came up: SW21 4 Sat
SW42 as sat 1(119 on sat 1), SW64 as sat 2(using port 3 from the SW64)
Input 1a-1 1b-1 2a-1 2b-1 3a-1 3b-1 2 2
x x x x 119 x x x
x x x x odd x x x
Problem detected, check connections.
Third attempt:
Checked SuperDish, 50 tests, came up: SW21
SW42 as sat 1(119 on sat 2), SW64 as sat 2(using port 3 from the SW64)
Input 1 1 1a-2 1b-2 2a-2 2b-2 3a-2 3b-2
x x x x 110 110 x x
x x x x odd even x x
Problem detected, check connections.
Fourth attempt:
SW64 as sat 1, SW42 as sat 2(119 on sat 2).
Checked SD, 50 tests, came up: SW21 4sat
Input 1a-1 1b-1 2a-1 2b-1 3a-1 3b-1 2 2
x x 110 110 x x x x
x x odd evn x x x x
Problem detected, check connections.

Fifth attempt:
SW64 as sat 1, SW42 as sat 2(119 on sat 1)
Checked SD, 50 tests, came up: SW21 4-sat
Input 1a-1 1b-1 2a-1 2b-1 3a-1 3b-1 2 2
x x 110 110 x x 119 119
x x odd even x x odd evn
Problem detected, check connections.
I left the SD checked since it only found the 3 sat locations the first test.
Granted, I know I only have 2 sat locations at the moment, but the system should see all 3 switches if the logic is there. I'm going to have to say that right now it looks like it won't see all 3 switches. It actually seems to do the same thing that Mike saw with the DP testing, in that it only shows the first sat on the second switch, however, the SW21 doesn't seem to care which port, but which switch. It's interesting to note that it shows the sat 2 line on the sw21 as #2. And, it is interesting that on test 4, with the 119 on the sat 2 of the SW42, it didn't see that one, but on test 2, it seems to have reversed the lines and has the SW64 as sat one as well as the SW42, and has the 119 on the wrong switch. And at no time did it actually say that the SW42 was there.......weird.
When I have some more time, I'll do some repeat runs since the SW42 isn't exactly the most reliable switch, & I will set up the 61.5/105/121 and see what happens with all 5, but I am not very optimistic......
