Re: Transmit / Uplink Problem
I've been having this same exact issue starting tonight. I have an older Gen 4 system and I've been suspecting that age is catching up to it. The weather here is fine, clear, sunny, and hot. Best I can figure the gateway is in Montana, the weather is clear there as well. I did some research and people with similar problems have had radio issues. So I called and upgraded to Gen 5 hoping that it upgraded the transmitter as well. Turns out that it doesn't. I called a tech who had me reboot the system. Of course, it cleared the error state (I had done this before), and seeing that the board was green he didn't see a need to do anything else. So in frustration I just went with the upgrade. It needed to be done anyway, but somehow, I seriously suspect the radio is succumbing to heat/moisture. Of course, within a half hour it glitched again. Any help is appreciated. It could be something temporary on Hughesnet's end. I've noticed that recently I've had more glitching, I've just now started watching it more closely.
