    Paolo> What's that? Can you help me?
You have to set the inversion for some channels, but if you get a
signal on that transponder than it is probably already correct. 

    Paolo> Waiting info from you!

What kind of messages do you get from cam_set? Is the CAM recognized?
Could it be that the CAM is expecting an answer to message, like a
password?
In that case you would need to check that with cam_menu.
