Crazy Scan for 18ghz

[Archive-8]

I had tried version 1.0.2.118 when it came out, but still couldn't get it to change the LO in KA Inverto option.

I'll try your version if I may Chris, could you send me a PM too please?

Just sent you a pm

 

[Llew]

Thanks. May be be a subtle difference between your version and the public one

Something that @Vipersan said, can you try scanning Astra 19.2E with the blscan2 box ticked. And if possible please post you scan?

Astra 19.2 Skystar pcie card (top)
Astra 19.2 TBS6983 (bottom)

 

[Llew]

That's the scan I get Chris with the TBS6983. My Skystar card's on the other PC, I'll try that later and post both results.

 

[Llew]

Whoops. Forgot to connect the BBC.

No idea what I'm getting here with the TBS 6983.

 

[Llew]

Well at least it scans correctly over the range with the Skystar pci card, but since I swopped LNB's from the Norsat to the SL3 in the dark, I haven't adjusted for max signal in H or V. Will have to wait until tomorrow.

 

[Vipersan]

Hmm ..
I dont see any of those No Locked signals on your scans Llew ..
So..Perhaps it is that background # crap which aint in evidence at your location..
Hopefully I'll get mine up and running tomorrow and see what I get..
cheers

 

[Llew]

Yes it's clean enough, but I'll need to check properly tomorrow when I get the LNB set up for best signal H/V.

I do have a suspicious mast or two in view over at the railway depot across the way, but I haven't had anything obvious come up on my scans.

I'll check with the Promax to see if there's any interference here, but I can't recall seeing anything like you or Chris seem to suffer.

 

[Llew]

A scan with a better aligned SL3-01 doesn't show anything untoward around the Newsnet frequencies. Just the usual noise over the spectrum.
I notice that although 18556V shows as unlocked in the scan, it's perfectly lockable at 12dB usually.

Promax analyser the same, just a beacon frequency from one of the 19.2 birds (18503 to the right).

 

[Vipersan]

Extremely windy and very wet here this morning ...
So whats new ..
So I got the latest CS version running and did a quick scan..
Signal levels obviously down across the board due to weather ..but was half expecting to see more of those crappy signals than I did..
There are however 3 signals in the 18557 region ..
One of which would be the newsroom feed (unlocked) ..and 2 of those unlocked signals 18562 and 18569 more or less in the exact same region ..
Thoughts ?
I'll try this again ..when the wind drops and the rain stops.

Great, thanks for this version of Crazyscan , it works well with the BBC and 6983.

Just made a test between SL3 and XMW DRO and the result is not so bad for the SL3 !
PS: same antenna and weather conditions (not good)

in H:
SL3+BBC:

XMW DRO

In V:
SL3+BBC:

XMW DRO:

Yes, Crazyscan v88. Won't work with the TBS 6983 though, only cards like the TBS 6925/5925 and Skystar Xpress HD.

Llew,

Would you please have a link to the v88. version of CrazyScan?
Also, do you know if I need any special version of other files such as streamreader?

Thx

Hi,

I have just noticed there is a CrazyScan2 version as well as a CrazyScan version. Would anyone please be able to tell me what the differences are between these versions? Also, are both these OK for Ka Band?

Thx

Crazyscan2 is for DVB-T/C cards.

There's a later version of Crazyscan which we are now using for the SL3 LNB. Drop Chris1979 a PM for his link to the version, I'm sure he will kindly oblige.

I am planning to use CrazyScan with either a Nortel LNB or an XMW LNB and not use the SL3
Is the version you are using now OK for the Nortel and XMW LNB's?

Thx
