[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 2168, member: 175277"] This is interesting! (If)the transponder output has been lowerered it is normally through either a loss of power as a result of the solar cell effeciency or changing the transponders footprint,solar flare activity since this is limited to a single potential transponder the last is highly unlikely. I have checked on my system (3.7 mtr + 1.8 mtr Belgium) and I currently do not see a power reduction for the transponder. I have measured the Transponder on a promax where the C/N and is within approx 0.2 db of other Astra 2A horizontal transponders. Could you check the other Horizontal transponders at your location such as 11.836H MHZ this is also on the northern Astra 2A transponder footprint. Also check out 12.070H MHZ this is on the north transponder but from Astra 2b. The dish size increase from 1.05 to 1.2mtr benefits are dependent upon the quality of the dish and hence its effeciency and range from approx 39.0db - 40.5 db for the 1.05mtr and 40.50db to 42.3db for the 1.2mtr. It will help but depends upon how much your signal has been degraded, Do you have the before and current location signal strength and quality? Then maybe I can help you futher Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
