Hi friends ..
The rain finally made it to Manchester as expected ..so it seemed a good time to try this ..
The object ...to make a list of all circular polarised transponders which can be locked solid without inserting any kind of depolarising dielectric plate ..
I've tried it the other way round ..ie ..linear polarised channels with a plate inserted..so figured it worth a go.
It in theory should highlight those channels less critical to depolarisation ..though obviously dish size is still relevant.
There were many transponders producing signal in excess of 6db (F15 readings) ..which would normally be enough for lock ..but if a channel on the same or adjacent frequency is using the opposite polarisation left or right circular ..then obviously the receiver would be confused as to which to lock to ..thus ..no lock.
So waffle over ...here is that list..
From 20 East to 40 West.

hope this table is of some use ..and would appreciate if any of our Cbanders could verify and possibly list lockable signals without depolarisation ...at their convenience of course ..
No rush ..its purely academic.

My Satellite Setup
C-band: CM 240cm PF 34W-50W linear Avcomm feedring & OMT + 2x Astrotel Precision LNB & circular Avcomm polarizer + Zinwell LNBF, IRTE 180 cm 1W-34W + ESX241. DM820HD, VU+ Zero, DM500HDv2, Cisco D9865 AFN, TBS 5925 & 6983, XFinder

works also pretty good at 47.5W where I get better signal with my main linear LNB than with circular LNB which is 6-7 degrees off center
4055 locks with up to 11 db, nasa 4k 4177 transponder usually locks at 7dB on my 2.4m dish, while there's no lock on either of these TPs with the circular LNB
