Amos 2/3 @ 4W

[Archived-1]

Hi all, just having a look here, conditions are not the best but picking a few channels up, I will try again in the next few days when conditions improve .

I find signal levels vary a lot. Sometimes I get lots of channels on this satellite and other times just one testcard. I guess that is what happens when you live at the edge of the footprint.

Hi Andy, yes I am sure I have had more channels from here in the past, I did try a manual scan on a few other TP and they was trying to lock, like I say conditions are not the best atm, 5W booming in.

Poor during the day, but I have 28 fully locked FTA TV services right now on my 1.1m

@ Amos 2 4W G ?, if so your doing well

 

[Lazarus]

Yes indeed. Happy to do a scan for FTV & Encrypted if you think a numbers comparison would be useful?

Mind you, I'm not getting much off 7.2W right now: A mere 29 FTA TV.

 

[Lazarus]

Ok: 84 TV Services in total.

TP/Network Scan, to avoid 5W.

Good stuff!

 

[Lazarus]

Actually, that last scan pulled in another FTA, so that's 29.

 

[Archived-1]

Many thanks T, I did think I did better here, but I have not checked for months, I will try a scan now and see what happens.

 

[Lazarus]

Martin, we've known each other a while now, so do call me G, not T

 

[Archived-1]

Sorry Gordon I do in the staff room / pm, but try not to on open forum out of politeness not knowing if it was ok, but now I have the go ahead .

Ok it must have been the conditions, it was blowing a gale and raining when I scanned, unless I am now pulling fta from 5W G ?.

You've got lots of 5W in there, Martin, certainly #001/2 and from #35 onwards.

 

[pontiend]

A blind scan found 22 transponders .All over 10925 were off 5 West.

 

[Archived-1]

Thank you Gordon/Ray, I will try and fine tune better now things have calmed down

 

[Archived-1]

Many thanks, only pulling 11591 V 2000 from 5W now very strong here, 31 fta channels scanned in from 4W on the last scan, I will scan in the day and see what I get

 

[Archive-8]

Is amos a full range sat or does it have a band plan and if so what?

 

[Lazarus]

Just had a quick look in daytime conditions: All still locked apart from 10759 H 30000, whose Channels are pixellating.

 

[Captain Jack]

On a good day, I can get all European transponders on Amos 2/3 but more often than not, it will be a select number of stronger channels (Xtra TV TPs are the weakest).

Receiving the SatTelecom transponder here on 4 west 11389 H 27500 @ 40% Quality = 5.4dB much stronger than a couple of months ago.
