4.2.14. POWER Scan

•
The POWER Scan is the most powerful scanning tool for finding ALL
available satellite channels on a satellite in your viewing area using your dish
(dish size can vary results). POWER Scan is very popular among
hobbyists who are interested in finding new channels and 'wild feeds' that
contain temporary programs.
•
Press OK on the POWER Scan menu to begin using this powerful tool.
•
Select a satellite to be scanned.
•
When a full POWER Scan is performed (in other words, no change is made
to the search parameters), the receiver will first search the satellite for all
available transponders. New transponders that are found will be added
to the bottom of the list of transponders stored in the receiver. Once the
POWER Scan is completed, the receiver will then start the channel
download process. Any of the search parameters may be modified for
the POWER Scan.
o Mode: Choose between FTA (free-to-air) channels, Scrambled channels or
ALL channels (FTA and scrambled channels).
o Type: Choose between Horizontal and Vertical polarity; or Horizontal only;
or Vertical only.
o Start/Stop Freq: Allows changing the frequency search range. For
example, for a Universal LNB, the values can be changed to any range
between 10700-12750. For a C-band LNB, the values can be changed to
any range between 3400-4200. For a circular LNB with an L.O.
frequency of 11250, the values can be changed to any range between
12200-12750. For all other LNBs, the values can be changed to any
range between 11700-12200. The default values are set to the most
common search range.
o Freq. Step: Allows changing the step value. For example, instead of the
search moving in increments of 6 MHz, it can be changed to 12 MHz. It
will be faster to complete the search with a higher value, but a lower value
may be more precise in finding transponders especially at low symbol
rates.
