I am going to provide the RF questionnaire to you below so we can attempt to identify potential issues within the RF environment at your station. Historically, this has been the quickest route to resolution for potential station RF issues. Please provide detailed answers to the following questions.

Is the dish reflector solid/segmented/mesh?

Does this dish have both horizontal and vertical feedhorns?

Does each feed horn have a <b>phase stable digital signal capable</b> LNB?

How are the LNBs powered? What is the DC voltage? 

Is there a Terrestrial Interference (TI) filter installed between the feedhorn and the LNB?

Please provide the TI filter make and model  

Describe the cable run(s) originating from the dish and terminating

at the MagnuBox® (type, length, impedance, routed aerial or underground,

Describe the make/model of any splitters/switches in the RF path between the feedhorn and the MagnuBox® input 

What type (F or N) and style RF connectors are you using (crimp or compression and

Have all RF connections been checked for moisture, corrosion and are they tight? 

Has the entire cable path and components been checked for damage? 

Is there anything in the immediate area that could be creating the interference? Possible interfering signal sources include other RF and/or cellular antennas, air conditioning equipment, exterior security lighting and signage, motors, marine or aviation radar, etc.  

What steps have been taken so far to resolve the issue or what has

Any additional information that you feel would be helpful?
