    Here is a recent blindscan of 105w c band:

    As you can see in the results, it takes a long time to scan 105w c band in part because of the numerous radio services listed.
    The scan log will show exactly how long it takes to scan a transponder. The DVB-S 4033V 5426 SR transponder took a little over 1 hour to scan and returned nothing as shown here:

    The full scan log of this satellite is attached and the correct folder that is needed to capture it on usb drive is attached in a zip file. Scan logs are generated after every scan and end up in /tmp of receiver files if the correct folder is not available on the usb drive.

    Tools are available for satellite dish adjustment or alignment. There is a signal meter app that is available on Google Play for Android smartphone or other Android devices. IF you have wifi network that the Edision can connect to, and IF you have a wifi signal for that network at the satellite dish then you may use the signal meter app to help align or adjust the satellite dish.

    The signal meter app also announces the signal reading in audio, so you do not have to look at the Android device while adjusting the dish. I use a combination of Android phone with the Signal Meter app, and a TinySA Ultra Spectrum Analyzer. I think I have about $200.00 including accessories in total money spent for the TinySA Ultra. The TinySA Ultra itself does not cost that much, but I got a band-pass filter to look for 5G interference, and that thing was around 50 dollars.

    The Signal Meter app does not cost anything, but the receiver has to be connected to a wifi that has signal at the satellite dish. And you also need an Android device of some type to install the signal meter app onto.

    The TinySA Ultra needs a splice into the lnb and the receiver has to be powering the lnb for it to work. The TinySA Ultra displays ALL of the transponders for one polarity, and is a great tool for dish adjustment and alignment. Most times, the TinySA Ultra will display the satellite transponders before they are strong enough to be seen by the fta receiver.

    Here is a screen shot of the Signal Meter app on a smartphone and the TinySA Ultra being used for dish alignment yesterday. Note that no wires are attached to the smartphone as it gets the signal information from the wifi network the receiver is connected to.

    A scanning coding error has been found. This error is causing the long delays in the scanning of the 105w satellite, c band. It will be fixed soon. More information about this error will be in the thread link below.
