HX 50 Invacom LNB Setting

I'm putting the word out. If you have recently purchased an HX 50 modem and you recieve a LNB with a brand name of Invacom then this pertains to you. I was at my witts end trying to figure out why my reception could not get over 29% signal strength. After working with Bentley Walker tech support i was still nowhere closer. Finaly i was working in the Manual Configurations page looking over my setup documentation from BW. one of the settings on the page pertains to what type of LNB you are using. When I initally set the Modem up i used the drop down menu and selected "INVACOM" as the LNB i was using. So last night on a whim i went back into the drop down menu and selected "PURE" as the LNB. Much to my suprise when i came out of the settings page i had a lock on at 92% on the W3A satellite. So if you cant get your signal over 29% and your absoluteley certain that you are aimed in the right direction, cange your LNB settings and see what happens

To clarify, our W3A Middle East HX terminals use SPV-30 switchable 9.75/10.6 GHz LNBs. You do not need to set an LNB model in your HX settings, simply set the 22kHz switch to off and the local oscillator frequency selected will be 9.75 GHz.
