DR HD D15

[Costactc]

The weather was extreme yesterday and my motor is still crippled and I may have passed judgement a bit too swiftly on the D15. Scanning the Atlantic ku sats spot on once again.

The D15 has been growing on me and even its slightly underachieving tuner hasn't discouraged me. It as excellent and extremely fast blind scanning receiver and its ease of use menu has me parking this one on my ku setup. It will lock tp with a 4.0 db level but the channel may be a bit glitchy, 5.0 db and up and your good to go. Most of the strongest known tp in our neck of the woods on ku scan in with a minimum of 14-15 db and there is the rare occasion when it's at the 18-19 level.
Setting up a new sat or tp is childs play but this requires the Clark Tech editor in order to have a North American satellite list, once done just scan away. Transponder and channel info just requires hitting the info button twice. The time and date work flawlessly with the time showing on the front panel display when the receiver is off.
The Menu:
Installation Menu:

Dish Setting- set up your sats here with all info and a convenient sat finder option(spectrum analyser) and also a beep function for signal quality.

Satellite scan- automatic, blind, Pid and manual. There is also a beep function here as well.

The last one is quite cool if you happen to lose your manual you can access it from your receiver.

Curious, is that spectrum analyzer of any use on the weak and unknown transponders or is it just eye candy?

[Costactc]

I haven't taken this box outside on an install or even when aligning any of my dishes yet. I have noticed slight improvements when I nudge the dish east or west but the db level is more then sufficient for attaining peak signal quality.

Costactc just wondering what would be the setting for Cornwall for motorized dish, mine is still out of line, keep going on the foor and still not getting all sats in, i can only get from 72 to 125 due to foof peak,

The proper coordinates for Cornwall using Usals are:

74.7 w and 45.0 n.

Set your motor to 0 or go to x depending on the motor type. Our most southern satellite is Amc 6 at 72w and the NBC mux should be scanning in off the charts.
