I was wondering if I'm the only one having problems with my satellite system? New Coach new KVH system. Seems as if dew in the morning or evening screws up the signal. I've tried 303 as recomended and dish soap. Still no help. I was told this was a better system than my old daytron.

Gordon, ran into a guy in JC who has the same porblem. Says he was told to go out and spray the dome with the garden hose. Said it works but he gets tired of drying off the coach.

Yes, we experience the same problem. We've been told it's because the KVH is a "weaker system" than some of the other more expensive "domes." The dew is a problem that we've tried to solve, too, but to no avail. Right now it's not even working at all...moral of the story is that we won't get this system again...the "tilt up" ones don't seem to have the problems we do in the rain and dew, and as long as they automatically search, they'd be easy to use. Anyone know if the new "low profile ones" have fewer problems with rain and dew? That's something we're eager to hear about.
