Re: [DW4000] Signal strength drops from 60 to 10 every few hours
Three possibilities come immediately to mind; transmitter isolation, IDU power supply, Hughes.
It's very common for the TX ISO to be good on a transponder of one polarity, but bad when moved to a transponder of the opposing polarity. The remedy requires an antenna repoint to optimize ACP on the new transponder.
When the RSL starts going nuts, check to see if the IDU power adapter feels hot. Typically it's just warm to the touch. When they start to go bad, they heat up.
Hughes is trying to force legacy users to upgrade to the HN7000S. I can't rule out corporate malice, in that your newly assigned gateway could be providing substandard performance - on purpose.
There are other possibilities, but check the first two out first. Not much you can do about the third for the moment.
