Astra 2F: Pre-Operational Discussion

[tothbros]

ASTRA 2F Ku-band: Europe/UK 48
all ku bands transponders cover ANY PART of 10.7 to 12.75

out of the 48, do we know how many are UK and PE Beam?

i thought it was a fact that no tp's on 2F under 10.95 GHz...sometimes I get lost between fact and fiction here

 

[Lazarus]

Oh, there's plenty of fiction ..................

From my reading, there were reports that no test freq's under 10.95 were seen when the sat was @ 43E. I'd find it incredibly strange if the sat did not have the ability to support the full freq range. So there's either an issue (which we are only guessing at) with the TPs from 10.7-10.9 or it's simply the lack of facts leading to fiction.... No one seeing those freq's during testing doesn't mean the capability isn't there.

ASTRA 2F SNR strong here in Stockholm, Sweden Beacon is on 11007MHz V with around 13.8dB

So to simplify things a little, what are we expecting to change overnight:


11.023 H, SR 23.000 FEC 2/3 DVB-S2 *PSK "8901" and "8911" (BBC 1 HD's) already there

10.964 H SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (CH5/5USA/5*/Channel 5+1),

10.994 H SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (ITV 1 Granada HD/ITV 1 Central South West SD/ITV 1 Anglia West SD/ITV 1 Meridian North SD/ITV 1 Yorkshire East SD/ITV 1+1 Yorkshire SD),

11.052 H SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (ITV 1 Central South SD/ITV 1 Central East SD/ITV 1+1 Wales SD/ITV 1+1 Westcountry SD/ITV 1+1 Tyne Tees SD),

11.126 V SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (Channel 4 HD/4Seven SD)

ANY OTHERS ?

pe beam testing high signal 12425h and 11470h spot beam
same tp 2a low power

 

[Mr Hoover]

pe beam testing high signal 12425h and 11470h spot beam
same tp 2a low power

12425 H spike in Portugal "looks" like the 2A/2B south beam level

[solly]

[easydigital]

Something as definitely changed here in stockholm getting strong signals from Astra 2F /1N channel 4 much stronger!.......

 

[C0re]

Channel 4 HD you mean?

 

[easydigital]

I am receiving stronger signals "Astra 2F /1N " as somebody already said it could be because of weather conditions....

 

[Analoguesat]

Whats thast supposed to show? Formatted like that its almost unreadable.

im getting much stronger signals on all 1n tp's as well, but its because of the weather conditions. proper winter has arrived, signal always gets much stronger in these conditions

 

[tothbros]

so much so, that a fellow sathunter in hungary has managed to catch 11023H with an andrews 240 dish...even if only for a few hours in the late morning hours

 

[trigger]

Signal levels might be up slightly as getting STV on working ok on my Sky box right now and would not normally see anything until late at night on my dish.
Just a side point 2D used to fade at night here but 1N gets stronger

Cheers
