65E Amos 4

[pride21]

hi all I had a go amos 4, flysat list a data channel on 11255H 6984 its coming in at 95% quality but no lock its acm/vcm.

 

[satesco]

At this time there are only test carriers on this satellite:

hi satesco this transponder is just past 64.2E would you know where this transponder is coming from if its not amos 4

 

[satesco]

Hi pride21,
This test carrier is for Amos 4.It's still active now.
Here's how Ku-band beam on this satellite:

 

[pride21]

many thanks satesco for your confirmation on that

According to Flysat there´s now channels on 10860V/10915V. These mostly familiar from C-band nepalese/Indian channels using likely India beam. No signal here unfortunately.

Yes I tried them this morning but no luck.

 

[adonis1]

Also no signal.

Can´t believe this...thanks DVBS2/QPSK and low FEC

 

[margusten]

mar-val , can't believe this.

Such a wide transponder on 1dB C/N level received ?
Do You have pictures.

 

[mar-val]

Hi, it depends on mode and FEC. S2/QPSK 1/2 is locking very low C/N.
What pictures ? You mean pict of some channel? I will make some tomorow,if I get signal...

 

[margusten]

Yes, I mean picture of some channel. Is it watchable or disturbed?
Seems that FEC 1/2 is most important. Half signal and half control bytes.
I have to try these channels too.

 

[bonou2]

I tried to catch something...unfortunately bad luck

 

[mar-val]

Well, it's pretty windy here, signal unstable ,but I got some pictures with DR.HD. It is right on the limit.
For a watchable picture is needed more than 1,2 , I think .

What size of Dish are you using please.

 

[bonou2]

i found this map --Amos 4@ 65° East---

 

[zorbua]

So if these two Freqs are on the Russian beam then not much of a chance of receiving them.

 

[tempo]

I have very low signal below lock level, so it isn't Russian beam. I had very powerful carriers during tests on the same transponders.

 

[mar-val]

What size of Dish are you using please.

It is Kathrein 220cm.
I saw some reports: Germany-360cm, Poland 270cm,colleague Onacila from East Slovakia -250cm.

 

[zorbua]

Wish I had that size, mine is only 150cm.
