[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1133458, member: 178786"] I'm back :cool: There looks to have been quite a few changes to the frequency line up on 38.0 East since I last had a good sniff at it over two years ago. So, off we go, back on the merry go round of scanning at different times of the day, using different LNB's, variation of the feed aperture distance from the dish and variation of the scalar along the feed barrel. In the past I have found that all of the above four variables can impact the signal level and it is a case of recording frequency locks as and when they come as each variable is changed. To kick things off I have done a basic scan using an Octagon SF8008 without ultra fine tuning the dish. Once I have fine tuned the Az/El/Skew I will consider this as the baseline scan result from which I hope to improve upon. Attached below are a few screen grabs from the basic scan, it resulted in 22 frequencies and 70 channels locked. Hopefully these numbers will increase once I have exhausted all the variables associated with tuning the dish and feed setups. .
