How to flash the 2700A without deleting settings or channel list



This procedure will keep you from deleting your antenna settings and your channel list once they are setup. I've seen this come up a number of times and thought I would post it in one place.

1. Turn the receiver off via the back switch.
2. Hook the null cable up between the pc and the receiver.
3. IMPORTANT!! Turn the receiver on via the back switch and WAIT for the receiver to boot all the way on. You should first see b-7 5 scroll across the receiver display then a quick blink 7.5 followed by On and then the last channel number that was selected.
4. Once you see the last channel number show on the receiver display then open up the loader, select the bin file and then download. Once the download complete pops up on your pc screen you should be good to go.

This will work when loading the factory bin as well. The only time you should loose the settings and the channel list is if you do a factory reset in the main menu of the receiver. You can even load the factory bin with the procedure above and once you see download complete popup on your pc screen then load the newest fix out and still not loose your settings or channel list. Hope this helps someone out.

Note: This works with the original pansat 2700A.
