Re: [CRTech] Unity ebNo question

Mike,

I have a couple of receivers on large dishes that start after a reboot with 
EbNo's around 12 then climb to >14 over time and they work fine.

On the rare occasion when those receivers start to misbehave (funny audio 
dropouts or whatever) then we pull the plug and they normally go back to 
working 100% again.
