No signal from 12303 V 27500 3/4 Hotbird 13E (B)

Box is Zgemma H9S.

This is is the frequency for FTA channels from Spain. I like to listen to the radio channels and a bit of TV, just to keep my limited Spanish knowledge ticking over. If I move to the frequencies either side of 12303V I get a signal and can store the channels found, but on 12303 NO Signal.

This is one of my primary purposes for having the dish set on Hotbird.

Are you getting the correct channels on the 'frequencies on either side'? i.e. Revival TV on 12322 H ? If not I'd suspect you have set an incorrect local oscillator frequency for the LNB

@MenloPete : thanks for your input. I was able to get Revival TV, but in order to get 12303V tuned had to refocus dish. Is the S2 signal less tolerant of inexact focus?

Yes, this TP is definitely weaker. I had lost for example, TVE International until I adjusted the LNB slightly. As I have a multi-sat there is not much room for improvement. Even now during rain the signal can break up, Other frequencies are fine.
