xcuse me beforehand about being so long-winded.
Recently had a chance to purchase a verifiable Birdog Plus USA meter because; it did not work and they were going out of business.
Meter booted up and verified USB 4.0 Plus with 2008 version. The gentle lady whom sold me this device said it would no longer recognize a sat or a LNB.
At home, first thing noticed was that the warranty seal was broken, so nothing to lose (I know, too little-too late). Anywho found is that the connecting input board (help me guys as it appears to be a small tuner board) with dual F coax connectors, was lying on the bottom of the case. The only connection between the physical input (outside the case) and the internal connection being 2 gold plated insertion/probes, 2" long X 1/16" in diameter, completed with shoulders for bushing inserts-2 (high frez. isolators).
Believe I finally solved the connection problem but I feel there should be some other means to secure this board from future problems. Basically, all this verbage is to ask if anyone of you guys have opened their case, and if so, how is this board secured?
Just for the hey of it I did send an email to perfect10 with same info but having never dealt with them, not sure of their response.
