Hi,

I have a Lacuna MKIV that works great, besides the battery that is crap :) A new one is too expensive, so I bring the PSU when I use it.

I would like to update the dataset to my needs. I use this one in Norway, and here we mainly use 1W (Thor5 and Thor6) and 5E (Sirius)

Can someone tell me the recomended frequency to use when searching?
The reason I ask is that I need the meter to tell me both Thor5 and Thor6 because when it today tell me I have a great signal, I do have that on Thor6, but it is way off on Thor5 :(

I found all the software I need to edit and update the transponder-data.
On Thor 1W I can only get the meter to recognize the satellite on Vertical. Switching to Horizontal, it does not recognize it..
On Sirius 5E I can read H and V, so I don't think the meter is broken, just don't have the correct info in my dataset.
Here is the info on the 1W Vertical that works:
Screen_Hunter_27_Sep_11_21_39.jpg


Here is the 1W Horizontal that do NOT work:
Screen_Hunter_28_Sep_11_21_42.jpg

To be sure I get good signal on both Thor5 and Thor6 I would like to have 4 transponders for the two Thor satellites, H and V on both of them.
Any one that can guide me? Maybe there is only one transponder per satellite that send sat-info that the meter can understand? I am blank and a bit desperate :)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I insert the freq to my meter, but still no luck.
Only the orginal 1 W Vertical work.

I even copy the orginal to a new entry, but then the meter do not find the sat... I double checked that my new entry is 100% identical... this meter is giving me a headache.....:mecry:

Those freq's are correct for sure so its deffo your meter no doubts at all ,
you may still pick up a fairly decent Horizon Meter cheap enuff its still a good quality meter and fairly affordable .
i myself just use the very old typee Satlook Micro + MK IV
its a really old swedish meter but has never let me down in 15 years yet except for a new battery .
good luck and try Flysat dot com aswell for freq's most peeps here use it as its very upto date and accurate .

cheers .
