You're right, mm1352000. There is no permanent transponder on that frequency but I ran a scan of Port A, C band, tone switch off and exported it to an .ini file so I could see all the results, and it looks like this:
The "0" value is the number of transponders found and under that are the frequencies, polarities, and symbol rates. I then changed it to Port A, Ku band, tone switch on (same as my original error) and got this:
Ignoring the frequency differences, there are differences, particularly in symbol rates, but also many similarities. 11727 is not active at this time and neither is 4173. But, one of the frequencies on port A, 3920, has a symbol rate of 3704, and on the "Ku" scan of port A there is a transponder with that same symbol rate shown at 11979. 11979-10750=1229, and 5150-1229=3921 which is only one off from 3920. So it appears that the scan program is actually seeing the C-band signals even though it's reporting them as Ku.
I then did the same comparison on DiSEqC port C. This is Port C, C band, tone switch off:
And now Port C, Ku band, tone switch on:
It seems obvious that the first two scans (on DiSEqC port A) are very similar, while the two Port C scans are not similar at all.
So, that means that the information you wanted to see (in the fourth, fifth, and sixth screenshots in my previous post) may be valid after all. At least now I understand why it was showing Ku band signals on all three of the DiSEqC inputs. Thanks!
(By the way, I tried to post this earlier but my broadband went down hard - I could only load pages VERY slowly, and repeated attempts at posting this reply failed completely.)
