Managed to scan in Channels from 12054, but the signal fluctuates massively.

 

[Lazarus]

12054 now stable.

12226 up and running

Here's the complete oversight of BADR-6 transponders, it will be interesting to compare if/once they switch to BADR-8.

Locked (with 2.4m):

[Lexzie]

Any predictions if Badr-8 will change the footprint compared to Badr-6?

 

[Pride Of Cucamonga]

Is Badr-8 interference likely to impact 28.2 reception in the Valencia region?

 

[wellikan]

It is possible if the antenna is small and incorrectly configured, closer to 26e

 

[Pride Of Cucamonga]

It is possible if the antenna is small and incorrectly configured, closer to 26e

would a perfectly aligned dish on 28.2 still face some interference from 26e? i.e. if all the 26E sats disappeared one day, would the signal improve (even if very marginally)?

 

[rodscha]

i read on the French forum that,when a sat inaugurates "new" tp 's,,the signal is often stronger in the 1st days to facilitate retuning & then they return to normal strength... that could be the case here.Link to Badr 8 (last message,in French)
Badr means 26E btw

 

[hatters1976]

It's the first time i see a satellite Badr 8 taking so long to introduce its new services!
Do we have information of this delay? Since May almost 7 months now ... from launch!

[Satfaca]

11.804 H moved to BADR 8., presumably NW Africa beam.

 

[rodscha]

has anyone locked the 12073 H frequency?

 

[Satfaca]

No problem, still on BADR-4 as it looks.

 

[rodscha]

so,not any stronger than before?
it doesn t seem to like my region,lol!

 

[solly]

No problem, still on BADR-4 as it looks.
