24.9 COM51 “Direct Tune” Feature
The information shown in Figure 42 below is one of the subsections available on the Advanced
Edit page.
➢
This section gives you a method to force a tuner to a satellite and transponder pair.
➢
This can be useful when attempting to track and isolate RF problems with the COM3000 system.
The data required to perform this operation can be gathered from the basic “Tune” interface
shown in the advanced tune section (see Figure 33 - Advanced Tune Screen )
➢
A brief explanation of each field follows:

channel. This number correlates to a specific satellite and can be used in conjunction with the
“Frequency_Index” field below to determine whether the card is locked to the correct channel
version.
