and now I can finally get the frequency of the north of Bavaria with 1,20m

 

[satesco]

It's on the Europe/African Beam.

I knew that, but I'm making an important note for those in Europe who want to receive this transponder.

Over two/three hours is going to be better signal on 12722 H

Hi -
I,m getting 126 channels from this sat -- using a " fixed" 90 cm Channel master with only 2.4 elevation view at my location ..... but cannot get a lock on 12722 H ..... signal is floating between 5.0 and 6.0 db ... nowhere near enough ..
I wonder if a 1.2 dish would do it ? (i have my doubts) ... i,v watched this SABC news channel many years ago - it would be good to have it again.
Regards.

To me, in the morning it is far better, in the late evening it starts blinking ... (signal up and down then no signal.... then up down then no signal)
Northern Italy

You might get another 2db with a 1.2, if that will be enough for you to register a lock.

Hi
Thanks for your reply .. I will monitor signal levels for a while to see if its worth a try .. although signal levels seem quite a bit higher at times this morning .. (up to 8.0 db) the fading effect due to my very low elevation here - is worse...( down to 3.5 db)
According to Lyngsat i need 9.4 db to lock ... so its unlikely that i will get any stability even if i manage a lock ...

Well if I would go for a 1.2 I make sure that I will get a general all around reception (not just for one particular Sat)
otherwise it will be a no go.

Hi -
I have a motorised 1.2 c.m. channel master in use here .. but cannot see 68.5 E with it due to a building roof .. i may "borrow" the dish face and swap it with the 90 c.m. just out of interest .. My view of 68.5 E with the fixed dish is through a gap between buildings and cannot really a be permanent fixture ... i could have it there for a few weeks though.
A bit windy here today for removing the 1.2 dish face .. its in a rather exposed position ..

If you feel like having a go without incurring too much trouble.....otherwise just let it pass......

Hi -
Managed to lock - scan - and get a frozen image with the 90 .c.m. ...... so i,m encouraged to try the 1.2 now
