Missing Transponders on 61.5

I was wondering if anyone else is using this bird. I'm not able to pick up some of the transponders(12603 is one of them).

I was wondering if anyone else is able to get that one. I'm able to get almost all the other transponders on that satellite, but there are a few that aren't coming in.

I was just wondering if I am missing something. I left the settings for it at default, and I verified that they are correct. On my other receivers, the signal is over 90 on all the transponders.

Are there any other troubleshooting steps that I am missing? I'm going to go try connecting to one of the other switches that I know are working to rule that out, but I don't think that's the issue here.

OK, I figured out that the problem isn't that it isn't picking up the problem, it's that it isn't switching properly. Sometimes it will stay stuck on 110/119 and pick up those channels, or pick up nothing if that same transponder isn't present on the other sat.

I guess I will have to mess with the switching to figure this out.
