| reply to nkynative Re: [HN7000S] Frequent Downlink "X" marks on Diagnostics page
I get the diagnostic red Xs during perfectly clear weather. I get them every few hours both day and night. As mentioned they are most frequent during peak usage hours. I'm in southern New Mexico where April is our maximum dry month. We have had mostly clear skies since February. This red X business started last December. Before then, it was all green checkmarks. I'm on IA6 at 93 west. I've heard other people are having problems with this satellite.

Without knowing WHICH statistics generate the red Xs - and under what conditions - that statement unfortunately carries no meaning. Many of the statistical categories for example, indicate a problem at the NOC - the ones that are indicated with (N) for example. Not a dang thing you can do about'em either, except wait for it to clear up at the other end.

| reply to rloose Thanks, Rich.
I am on SatMex 5, 970 MHz, so does not seem to be limited to one satellite or gateway. For several months now, there has been a substantial decrease in signal strength on my setup, maybe that has something to do with it.
My "red Xs" show up intermittently as well, regardless of the weather condition at my end. |

| That's a very very strong indicator that your pointing angles are becoming compromised. Do you have a pole mount? wall mount? roof mount?
