command is also used to test the four User Bands.  The User Bands are assumed to be 100 
MHz wide.  (Using the Spectrum mode will show how wide the User Band is and whether 
it is symmetrically about the tuning frequency.)  In the Digital mode, retuning is 
performed every time the frequency is changed using the knob or the Band/Polarisation 
is changed.  In the Spectrum mode, no retuning is performed while the cursor is within 
the UniCable Band of 100MHz.  To force the retuning, exit the Spectrum mode and re-
enter.  Entry to the Digital Mode and Spectrum mode force UniCable re-tuning.  During 
UniCable LNB use, the 13V/18V and the 22kHz signal indications are still used for 
Polarisation and Band selection, but they are not actually imposed on the LNB cable. 

 
Modulation 

 

 

This function is only available with the Satlook HD.  It sets the modulation type that will 
be tried when in the Digital Mode.  This can be used with the search function to find only 
transponders that are DVB-S or DVB-S2.  The BlindTune algorithms used will search for 
Symbol Rates from 15000 to 30000.  In addition, the Low Symbol rate option can be 
enabled to allow the search for Symbol Rates from 1000 to 15000.  This will search for 
QPSK only in this region.  This option adds extra time to the BlindTune algorithm so that 
when these low symbol rates are not needed, it should be turned off.  This setting is a 
power up parameter. 
 

StartUp Mode 

 

 

The mode on power up can be chosen for the Satlook G2 / HD.  This setting is a saved 
parameter.
