TBS 6908 can't scan Thor 5/6 0.8W

Postby zkab » Wed Feb 04, 2015 12:33 am

I installed the drivers 'linux-tbs-drivers_150130.tar.bz2' according to the documentation for my TBS6908 card.
Installation went OK.

dmesg | grep -i TBS
[ 8.432304] TBS PCIE Detected TBS6908 Board Rev 3

But still I can't scan ... which I did without problems with my cheap testing tuner card Hauppauge 5500 before.
What is the problem ?

sudo w_scan -fs -c SE -s s0w8 -C UTF-8 -O 0 -R 0
...
trying 'S2 f = 10747 kHz H SR = 25000 3/4 0,35 8PSK'
(time: 00:11)
trying 'S2 f = 10747 kHz V SR = 25000 3/4 0,35 8PSK
...
ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder
Nothing to scan!!

Hi
maybe your frequency seting wrong.I see the unit is "KHZ" not "MHZ",you may need to add three Zero.

Thanks
Best Wishes
