[Mertzen]

Your dish can be peaked out a bit more. 99c and 103c should be around 85-95. If your dish is easy accessible you can DIY. D* won't send out a tech for those values.

are all those 0's normal?

 

[Mertzen]

are all those 0's normal?

Yes, 99s and 103s are used for local spot beams. If you are not in that area the value will be 0. And there are spot beams on 101 and 119 also.

 

[Grentz]

You shouldn't have any issues with those values, but as Mertzen said you could tweak 99 and 103 just a bit to help combat rainfade.

 

[techrep]

You probably need to raise the elevation, about 1 turn of the elevation fine adjustment bolt, to peak the ka signals and even out your 103c numbers.

I see you're in Sacramento. I'm living in the same area and with the exception of my having slightly higher numbers than those you have on the 99(c) and 103(c) sat's, our readings are almost identical. I don't know if you aligned the dish yourself using a receiver however if you did, I'm guessing it's an HR21-200?

Did you ever try and peak 99 or 103? I found that I could improve those numbers by a few points but if I looked closely, TP's off the 101 would show a slight decrease. I'm thinking we're in region where an absolute dead-on alignment off the 101 DOESN'T necessarily guarantee bullseye alignments on the 99 and 103 birds. Drove myself darn near bonkers attempting to bring my 99(c) and 103(c) readings up into the 90's. What I found is yes, you can indeed BUT, you will give up a little on the 101. I've got pictures to prove it... :hurah:

My dish was aligned by the installer. I've yet to mess with the alignment because all of my channels seem to work just fine...
