No trouble found 
Since my last posting, my Lighthouse has either had a 90 plus signal level (with lock and traffic download)
or I am getting a 20 - 26 signal level (with lock and traffic download)
I checked my dish setup, and am spot on the beam. I also checked my FTA signals, and they remain solid with no problems when Outernetās data stream signal levels change. I also looked at your FTA channel transponder (now in the radio section), and it remained at its high nominal level without changing in both data signal level situations.
I have also power cycled my Lighthouse during each situation, and it makes no difference. The fluctuations come and go.
Even now with my low data stream signal levels (in the 20ās), I receive traffic fine and have not dropped lock. Hope this makes sense to somebody.
I have not made a log of the signal levels, and wonder, Branko, if my Status Reporting includes that information that you could look at there? Ken
What do you think is going on? Ken

@kenbarbi Sorry for the lack of response by the team. Weāve all been very focused on releasing Lantern and the new L-band service, which can be received basically everywhere in the world with just a 10cm antenna.
@branko Any thoughts on what Ken has observed?
Iāve been consistently receiving Signal Levels of 96 and have not lost lock when I drop to 25 or lower.
Iām not in trouble, but I wonder if anyone else is seeing this kind of performance (note I donāt say this is a problem)? Ken
Today, 10 Jun 1204 UTC, Iām getting a signal level of 41 on Galaxy 19 and receiving traffic fine.

Itās been down for me since yesterday - at least every time Iāve looked. Other signals on this satellite and transponder work fine on my STB. I first noticed it yesterday afternoon, following a local power glitch, so at forst I thought maybe a problem at my end, but the Lighthouse seems fine otherwise, too. Screenshot taken just now:

Our Librarian screen looks very similar to Barefoot_Mikeās, and has for the last day or two. Weāre using the 90cm dish/LNB available from Outernet: http://store.outernet.is/products/90cm-free-to-air-fta-satellite-dish-with-lnb-and-mount
Two things look different between our Librarian display (and Barefoot_Mikeās) and kenbarbiās:
-
We have selected the Universal LNB Type, like Barefoot_Mike, rather than North America Ku band, even though the specs seem to indicate it should be the latter. When we use the latter, we get 0 signal/quality; when we use Universal, we get 7/.7 signal/quality.
-
Our Lighthouse firmware is v 2.6.1; Librarian is v1.0.dev2. The versions of kenbarbi are later. Should we try updating?
Thanks for any adviceā¦
The LNB Type setting should match the LNB you are using. The various LNB types differ in the frequency range and local oscillator frequency(s). The specs listed on the page you linked:
Frequency Range: 10.95 - 12.75 GHz
suggests itās a āUniversalā LNB, so thatās the setting you should use. That is confirmed by the fact that you receive signal (even if not the desired data stream) when on that setting, but not on others.
If youāre curious about the different LNB types, this might help:
I get no signal lock if I change to universal LNA:
If I go back to North American Ku LNA I get nothing now. Ken
Iām dead in the water now. No sigal. Ken

No signal on anything? By the way, even we ran into the universal/NA Ku LNB-issue.
@H_Neil: Yes, please update the receiver. The latest firmware version is 3.1

Still nothing. I even power cycled the Lighthouse in case something was āstuckā. Once it was up and settled again, I still get:
Other broadcasts on 11929 are received just fine, so Iām guessing itās an uplink issue.

It could be an uplink issue. Iām waiting on some feedback from @branko
