hello changed the 6th leg sahh well, practically nothing has changed, it turns out I stopped searching for channels, that is, you turn on the search for channels, he writes invalid! Well, let's say if you take the intelsat 85 satellite, then you can work with it both vertically and horizontally, but only one frequency is 11720 N and 12640v, that is, it turns out 18 measured and 13 volts comes out from lnb, on each transponder, but the search for channels does not happen and not all frequencies are some other system is going here what else can be?

and he also does not see the circular converter at all by zeros 11750 the frequency of the head is set. I tried it this way, but for some reason he doesn't see tricolor.tv plus he doesn't see it.

Check that you have the correct LNB setting, 9750/10600.
That you are only getting the upper band channels suggests you have 22kHz "ON".

If you have a tone type finder that goes in the LNB cable, plug that in and check for 22kHz on or off.

Try scanning with the charger connected.

Hello! there is no such thing, I have a new seeker! the frequency of the head is right, well, something like this 9750 10060 from its end from one satellite 2 frequencies work, this is 11720 vertical 12640 and the rest do not work! search for channels Yes, I'm trying a 12V battery charger while I don't have it, maybe the reason is that it's not so I'm not using it from the switch, maybe that's why the train doesn't happen, that is, 8 Volts should be supplied to him, but I have an 8v charger.

The charger input for the GT Media finder-Meter is 12v.
They are supplied with a car charger and a mains power adapter.

After all that you have posted i think you unit has a fault.

did not understand you a little! there seemed to be a car charger included in the kit. Yes, there is one. Why would he charge me the same cars? and also the unit was running a 12 volt charger, well, I use it and connect it to me even when the battery was connected before and I found the channel search when I just bought it and then gradually started something frequency, that is, the signal is not present, I will reset it to the factory like again the quality of the signal will appear well, so when the antenna was tuned it was constantly And gradually it stopped passing some frequencies as I understand it.

You talked about this adapter that connects to a car or something. And why should I need it? I connect and here is a 12V power supply.

I suggested using the unit on the charger as this boosts the voltage inside the unit.
If the issue is the unit is making a 22kHz tone from the switch mode power supply that will stop you from using the lower band of the universal LNB. This happened with the very early V8 Meter V71.
Running on the charger increases the voltage inside the unit and changes the frequency the switch mode power supplies use.

The Tone type finder is one of these.
One of those will show if there is a 22kHz tone present when there should not be.
That would help you know if 22kHz was your problem.
Not all tone type finders have 22kHz indicators.

I very much think your unit is making a 22kHz tone, either from the power supply or by a fault that has the normal 22kHz hardwired on.

Hello! When I switch horizontal, let's say transponders at the output of lnb, let's say a transponder 11760n, I measure it with a device lnb shows 18V But it turns out that the voltage is on and there is no signal, only one purity 11720 works, well, although the same voltage goes to it, the voltage is also 18v, I measured it and if you switch the transponder for vertical frequencies, let's say 120/40 there is a voltage of 13 volts, the signal comes from it! and take other frequencies vertically, too, 13 volts shows well, there is no signal, I have already tried this device to change the frequency, the head also set unicadel9750-10600 well, nothing changes! you suggest me just connect at 8:00 in what is behind this as his battery, that is, then maybe it will go to voltage I understand and the signal will go, but what is below you satfinder photo and sent me what you meant a little did not understand?

Your universal LNB has two parts. A receiver for the lower band and a receiver for the upper band.
These two receivers are accessed by having the 22kHz tone OFF for the lower band and ON for the upper band.
If your finder is faulty and its internal power supply is making a noise at 22kHz, this will mean that the LNB will always switch to the upper band receiver.
There are internal power supplies in the finder that change the voltage of the battery up to 13 or 18v.
These power supplies are switch mode, that is the turn on and off at frequency to control the voltage.
If that turning on off is at or near 22kHz this will make a tone in the power supply for the 13 or 18 volts for the LNB and the LNB will always stay on the upper band.
There are also other power supplies in the finder for 5v and 3v for the processor too. These may be a cause of 22kHz tone as well.

This may not be happening in your unit. I suggest that it may be happening as you can not access the lower band of your LNB.
It may be another cause that is blocking access to the lower band of your LNB.

There is also a 22kHz tone generator in the unit.This may be faulty and staying ON.

The tone type finder I showed you will display a LED if it sees 22kHz tone in the LNB cable.
If you had one, or could loan one, you could see if this was the fault.

Good day! Well, the fact that when you switch to the transponder there is no noise at all. the only thing is that the processor is audible and that's it! and I also tried different things and 9750 separately so nothing works at all 10600 in my opinion 1 frequency works well, it also turns out one transponder works even on a universal one, even like this I put separately, that is, the lower upper purity! Yes, a malfunction in the device I do not argue! even when I bought it, I had such a problem now I'll tell you! I set up the signal there is everything that shows more correctly the quality then once you switch something there is no signal to overload it seems like there is a signal or the signal has not all disappeared and everything when setting up helped me to reset it to the factory settings, then it turns out after the factory settings it seems to be quality and he sees everything, but then when my battery burned out imcontroller burned out on the device, the power is all that turned out to be these feathers with a direct cable from 12 volts I connect and work with the device, but in my opinion, as far as I remember the first time I have from charging 12V in my opinion and Cochesto signals all the transponder worked, but gradually something incomprehensible happened, and he just stopped seeing them, and here it is not clear what is the reason! on such a satfinder, only I can buy on aliexpress to order just what he will give me I somehow even set it up for this it was, in my opinion, it works from a gap from the antenna and from the tuner, in my opinion, as soon as the signal is caught, the beeps start ringing go so long as soon as the signal is lost it beeps less just what did you mean with this device so that I could see the pointer?

And at the moment I get controllers there are not worth now because all the tracks are torn out! I do not know if it has something to do with this controller, maybe this is the whole reason because of it? Now I connect the device directly from 12V, it turns out I use it from the power supply, so the controller is torn out and I do not use the battery.

Hello! What do you think the HF tuner itself cannot fail to pass 22 kg of some frequencies? maybe he gives some kind of hindrance, nevertheless, try to solder the controller I think the power can be due to the fact that the controller is not standing there removed due to the fact that some transponders do not act this way if I had the same device question- then the controller took off for the sake of interest, checked how to control itself without power supply And so I don't have another thin satfinder, so I would like to clarify?

But look with my device what happened! it works only at one frequency, here 11720 further I scroll horizontally, he does not take anything vertically, one takes now 126 40 stopped taking him, it’s definitely the end, it’s not known what happened to him.

Hello! I came to a new device, opened it and looked that is where the power controller is a little from right to left a little bit there is a difference from my old board, in the end I checked all the same voltage that this device has the same voltage that the old device has the same voltage but I don’t understand what the reason might be be why he does not pass the transponders to the old device, this one catches all the frequencies and searches for channels, but that old channel search cannot produce not all frequencies they see, I don’t know maybe this is still HF lnb connected?

Hello, I read the information you posted. The power control IC has burned out and the PCB circuit is broken. You can’t repair this kind of thing. You can only contact the seller for after-sales service.

Hello! I don't quite understand you are writing the microcircuit feeding the circuit, is it your microcircuit burned out, or does it concern me with the answer, that is, my device?

I sincerely abandoned my V8 Finder. I even sold it. It lacks much information for signal adjustment. Basic information such as the level of the dB signal rate. and things like that. It only displays strength and quality. Thus it does not help in more delicate adjustment of the antenna. The bad thing is that the interface of the V8 Meter is the same as a TV receiver and not a satfinder. I want a satfinder. Something that displays more information of the type of signal received. That way you can't continue. It is a good device. Unfortunately too basic in signal information.

no i bought a new one the same! but it seems to me that my old device has a problem with the HF tuner; there is simply no tuner to replace it! can you have that konalv he does not find too the problem of the HF tuners themselves.

Hello! Already, as I wrote in May, the device went out the second I found the reason it turns out to be the ali m1502 chip, it all goes to the tuner! Khan's chip, I wonder how others do not break this device, I have already broken two of them and what is interesting is that the m1502 is not in China, so I want to add if the chip flies out, the device can be thrown out there are no chips in China, so I am tormented I do not know where to get such a chip.

I assume that after your second unit stopped working you tried doing a flash.bin recovery?
