Re: Got a portable satellite system now... but
Wonder if this is just an isolated problem to your unit or a common fault. All would be a bit dicky in wind I would think.

Re: Got a portable satellite system now... but
I'm sure there are lots out there who wouldn't have had as many problems as us.
The portable unit we're now using is held in place by 3 concrete blocks - too many rocks in the ground for pegging it - & we've had some pretty strong & gusty winds over the past couple of weeks.
Solid as a rock.

What's the cloud cover like? Also do you have the correct LNB angle?

Re: Got a portable satellite system now... but
Yes Craig, i did. Found where the error was & it was in my head!
Whilst I was running around like a demented bush turkey at a rifle range... herself was on the computer with Mr Google & found a video explaining the intricacies of the SatKing box. So after watching it a couple of times I pressed the appropriate button at the appropriate time & all is now good in the home of the traveling worryberries!
ps: I will be leaving the training wheels on for a bit longer whilst Trina pats me on the had & says... "There, there now!'
Dot... You'll get yours, Alice!!
