What can cause the carrier lock level to not be as high as expected?
I noticed that my carrier lock level is sometimes lower than expected for the signal level we see on the spectrum. Sometimes 40-50 even 30-40 other times 70-80 (mostly at nights).
Comparing with signals of equal level, my D value is lower in relation to another signal of the same level and FEC, the difference can be even 1 unit of D.
At images below you can see my signal at different times has very different values considering the same configuration.
I've already checked the connection cables and everything is well connected and of good quality.
I have been discussing this effect with friends but we have not yet been able to identify the reason for this variation in the level of my Carrier Lock, which means that my D is not even the most suitable for the signal level I get on the satellite.
My setup is 2m dish prime focus, DATV easy 3.05 poty.
All comments are valid and welcome, this is not a big issue, just trying to understand what this happens and what make your Carrier higher at satellite.
