Re: [DW7000] AMC3 Outage?
Well, it's working today, but barely.
Yesterday evening, I swapped out the transceiver and the signal strength went up from 12 to 26. Occasionally it would lock to a carrier and show 30 and even 43, but it would not make a real connection. I also tried swapping out the power supply in case that had failed, but that didn't make a difference.
Last time I pointed my antenna I had a signal strength of 65. Lately it has been about 59 or 60. Today, I'm at 48. I'm thinking something has gone wrong with this spacecraft, but I'm not sure. Perhaps I have a cabling problem. I'll have to check that this weekend.
The other thing I think I am going to do is to accept a 0.99m 2W dish that my brother has offered me. That should help out with signal strength if it is on their end.
Of course my LAST resort would be to call HughesNet.
