Title: tracstar satellite down
Post by: Bill and Diana R on May 28, 2011, 03:41:14 pm

Our tracstar has run uneventful for the life of the coach now 8 years.
We are full-timers, so it is used.
Today, I received a "communication from antenna error."
Has anyone else experienced this?

I've seen and corrected all sorts of errors on mine, but never seen your communication from antenna error. I even looked in the tech support manual and could not find it. I suggest giving Tracstar a call on Tuesday, they have always been very helpful to me.

We had the same or similar TracStar system in our 2003 U295. Before replacing it with a Winegard Travel'r we had several problems with it, but TracStar service was always very helpful. Here is the website for service:

Cobham SATCOM TracStar Products - Customer Support Center (http://www.mytracstar.com/esupport/)

You can send them an email. The page has a troubleshooting guide and other info that might be helpful.

Thank you.

After the sun set and the temp dropped, I plug the unit in and, of course, it worked.
I think it may be related to the Las Vegas heat.

Will call on tuesday thanks again.
