ESPN XDS Receiver Carrier Settings
Changing Frequency and Symbol Rates:
It’s important this procedure is performed during local programming. The receiver may
need several minutes to “learn” the new configuration once it has been tuned to the
ESPN carrier.
Once the new frequency and symbol rates are entered, your XDS receiver will
successfully lock on to the ESPN carrier on AMC-8, Transponder 3.
Make a note of the Eb/No signal strength.
Next, make a note of the frequency and symbol rate currently in the receiver. If your
receiver does not lock onto the new settings, it will switch back to the Cumulus carrier.
But just to be safe, write it down once you are in.
How to Change Frequency and Symbol Rate
Select “SET”, Right arrow to “SETUP”,
Left arrow once and this will get you to “TUNER”. Press “SET” twice.
Use the up and down arrows to change the frequency digits, and the right arrow to
select each digit in the frequency.
You can always escape out of this by selecting “ESC” third button below the display.

Press the “RIGHT” arrow to go to the SYMBOL RATE.
Press “SET”. Use the up and down arrows to change the symbol rate digits, and the
right arrow to select each digit in the symbol rate.
Press “SET” when done. Hit the up arrow three times to take you back home.
