C-BAND on 1.2m andrews so far so good

[deepbluesky]

Turok 40.5W is stronger in the iberian peninsula. I saw some reports on a spanish board before. They are starting with 1.20m. But even if this is the case, it depends on how well the feed suits to the dish you are using. In any case even in Portugal i wouldn't go below 1.80m, better 2.40m for guaranteed reception.

Thanks.
I will install this week my 1,8m antenna to 40,5w.
After I will make all commentaries to reception in Portugal.
Regards.

Ok. You should also consider
55.5W: http://www.lyngsat.com/intel805.html
58W: http://www.lyngsat.com/intel9.html

I am not sure if 1.80m would suffice for these positions but you would need a motor.

Before you buy anything better ask in the portuguese section to be sure.

Hi!
Very Good!!
what,lnb ,do you using,normal 14/18 V Switching,or one with polarizer?
try also now on 37,5 W in Cband Metro Tv,from Ghana,Signal since 5 Days,are very strong ,before,it was weak ,and you need up to 2 meters!

on 30,5 e i reveive every transponder,but eastbeam only 35% Signal in dvb 2000

Very good are you using the 65mm lnb holder which you can get for the 1.2m fortec star which you can see here http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/S/LNBHolder3.htm also the Conical Scalar ring which they sell looks good http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Order/LNBFS/C-Band-LNBF.htm

Do you have any pic of you dish with the c-band lnb on it you can post up,

thanks turok,rd i am using 14v/18v switching, the first holder i made out of 52mm copper tube then i bought proper holder from sadoun,the connical feed i made from an original polar feed.i will get some pics as soon as i can,i found the di-electric plate increased the signal when two eighth from opening.

 

[pride21]

this is a pic of dish with c-band you can see how i staggered feed to make it connical then inserted 1 inch wide ali, the same size as each ring

Is it possible to pick up Pakkssaat on 38E with a 1.2 Andrews Channel Master Dish in the UK?

 

[Montafon Guy]

.. sorry friend:


Not even with 2,4 m -
you need about 3 - 4 m for receiving this Satellite! :-downt


Regards Montafon Guy!

 

[dx qwer]

Hello,

I would say that you need a >5m dish.

Here in south western of Germay I only get a few frequencies with small and weak signal.

Best Regards
Edgar.

 

[Turok]

hi!
in around 1,5-2 years,****** will also be replaced!
on packsat kuband,also in pakistan it self the have reception problems
in the last 3 month,many freqencys has been changed,some comes new,and old switched off,is there now a difrent in some singal receiving then before the change edgar?

 

[dx qwer]

Hello Turok,

no, it all remains the same. Nothing changes!

Best Regards
Edgar.

 

[Turok]

how,is the p.a.k.s.a.t. signal on your 4,5m andrew dish?

 

[Montafon Guy]

Hello Turok ,


in one Word: ugly!

And the Programs are not very interesting for me either!


Regards Montafon Guy!

 

[Turok]

yes there are many test cards on it,signal,on daytime,is lower then on night time!

what is the strongest transponder at the moment?
would be very intresting,to find out the difrence between 3,60m mehs and 4,5 m andrew on p.a.k sat,dx quwer and you should make a blindscan,lets say,tomorow,evening @ 20 h,and find,to find out,how many channels more ,the andrew antenna can catch!
i hope you have good signal on the rusian ntv channels on 36 east to in kuband?

 

[dx qwer]

...signal,on daytime,is lower then on night time! ...

Hello,

in case of 38°E in Germany, this is not true!

Best signal is here ~ between 10.00 GMT+1 and 13.00 GMT +1. Some times signal quality is different later/sooner.

Power TP are (for me) 4104 H and 4055 H. I didn´t get anything from vertikal polarisation.

Best Regards
Edgar.
