said by teledatatech :Thanks; I cycled thru the other transponders, That only works if you actually know all the satellite parameters, and they're not always readily available. Worse yet, the SBC files are quite often long out of date. If you have just ONE of the parameters off (when checking for signal strength), you'll get some red number below 30.
Even the Tier I call center doesn't get the updated parameters in a timely fashion, as I've had to correct them more than once. Sometimes Tier II in Florida has more current parameters, but I've caught them out in the past as well. You have to get to Tier IV and beyond (engineering) before you can actually consider what you're being told as current and accurate.
OR - ask knowledgeable members here what their operational G17 satellite parameters are.
