- My Satellite Setup
- CM 3.0m @ 28.2 w PACE
- My Location
- Athens-Greece
By looking at the Eurobird1 fixed beam footiprint _http://www.astra2d.com/eurobird1-footprint.htm, my area (Athens) is in the 38 dBW area. My dish has gain of 43.0 dB and I can just about get channels from this beam (breakup with bad weather).
From the above is it not possible to calculate "how much signal my setup actually needs (minimum)" ?? and would that figure be absolute and true for any satellite ??
