Updating Satellite Frequency Data
If the antenna is unable to find a satellite, or if you are unable to receive certain channels, the satellite’s frequency data might have changed. The satellite frequency scan feature allows you to update the frequency data of any satellite stored in the system’s library.
With the desired satellite, band, and polarization selected, the system will automatically search for the frequency with the strongest signal.
The system will then update that satellite’s programmed data with the new frequency (and associated network ID) and store it in the satellite library.
You will need to enter the following information:
• Symbol rate
• FEC code
TIP: You can find satellite information on the web at www.lyngsat.com or
www.satcodx.com (neither website is affiliated with KVH).
To update the satellite frequency data, follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT!
The vessel must remain stationary throughout this procedure.
1. Track the satellite you wish to update by choosing a valid polarization/band.
2. Set your satellite receiver to signal meter mode. Refer to your selected receiver’s user manual for details.
3. Ensure your TV signal meter indicates that you have a strong signal.
4. Using the receiver, select the desired polarization and band you wish to update. Refer to your selected receiver’s user manual for details.

5. Use the flowchart in Figure A-2 to scan the frequency
data of the selected satellites.
TIP: If you know the satellite configuration data, you can configure the
satellite without scanning frequency data (see “Configuring Satellite
TIP: Scanning satellite frequencies might take up to 10 minutes.
