Hi, I am having a problem getting my sat meter to work properly. When used with sky lnb's its fine but when I use it with my new dish and mti LNB it doesnt seem to work and even at full sensitivity it will not come close to 10 on the range. My equipment if it helps is a raven 90cm elipse dish, MTI LNB 0.3db model AP8-T2BL and cheap £10 meter. I know LNB and meter work but not together by the looks of things.

Please help

Sunny

Maybe it's a bad connection? Sometimes different components fit together slightly differently. Make sure there is no short between the inner and outer components of the coax, and make sure that there is a long enough protrusion of the inner core from the F connector. It needs to stick out a good few millimeters.
