I apologize, Gilbert - I didn't answer your question - you have your LNB
power set to low . . . you need to have the Polarity set to Horizontal to
drive 18VDC.  You are only driving 15VDC with Vertical setting.  Unless you
have a feed actuator, you don't need to worry that you are actually
changing the polarity from what should be set manually.

Here is what I have for NOAAPort:

        LNB Power:              On
        LNB Status:             Normal
        Voltage Range:          13-18v
        Long Line:              On
        Polarization:           Horizontal/Left
        22KHz Tone:             On

        Satellite Interface Settings:

        Receiver MAC Address:   00-06-76-05-01-c0
        Receiver Mode:          DVBS2
        Frequency:              1130.0 MHz
        Symbol Rate:            30.000 Msps
        ModCod:                 2/3 16APSK
        Gold code:              0
        Input Stream Filter:    On
        Input Stream ID:        18

        Signal Lock:            On
        Data Lock:              On
        Uncorrectable Rate:     0/Second
        Packet Error Rate:      0.0000e+00

        Carrier to Noise C/N:   17.1dB
        Signal Strength:        -41 dBm

And for NWWS:

        Input Stream Filter:    On
        Input Stream ID:        2

        Data Lock:              On
        Uncorrectable Rate:     0/Second
        Packet Error Rate:      0.0000e+00

        Carrier to Noise C/N:   17.1dB
        Signal Strength:        -42 dBm
