[QUOTE="John, post: 1036329, member: 175005"] Done a couple of scans for you on 40.5° West & 20° East looking at LHC signals only before i have to lower the rig down due to wind speeds getting higher. Rain and brisk winds at the time of scans so signals a bit up and down. Dish is a 2.2mtr Elite PF, Norsat 8000RI, AV-Comm Poloriser barrel. Readings done on a Promax HD Ranger+. Poor weather conditions with rain and blustery winds. I personally don't think you will have much luck with the 40.5° W signal, it needs about 7.9dB for a lock. The strongest signal, for me anyway, on 40.5° W is 4.183 LHC at around 13.8dB ... that also needs about 7.9dB for a lock. 20° East looks to be your best bet to establish a reading on your sat meter, see pic, 3.975 LHC the strongest with me at around 12.2 or so dB in poor conditions. It still requires around 7.9dB for a lock on a decent receiver. Try again on 20° E when the weather is more suitable. See both analyser grabs to help you along a bit. *Note: - ignore the false "1 W" indication on the 20° analyser readout. ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
