Value of R1

Post by M1ASR » Wed Feb 07, 2018 8:46 am

I have just built and tested my unit using my sky dish. I have sky Q, so I wondered if I would have an issue with a hybrid LNB, but all seems ok (the timing lock cycles 85%_90%, but solid picture). I notice that the LED series resistor R1 is 3.3K. Is this a typo, as the LED only just lights with such a small current. Or am I missing something? I used a smaller value in mine.

I think something must be wrong with the LED, or you set the voltage too low, but then the rest wouldn't work. But all it is is an indication that the power is on so hardly matters.
