[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 861163, member: 196043"] There has been some debate in the past about the data channels. Hopefully this info will help. The two old data channels on transponders 60 (11009V) and 72 (11186V) that have been running for quite some time both have very similar signal levels to the new Astra 2F European beam transponders here in Finland (ie near the threshold on a 1.8m dish). Therefore I think they are also 2F European transponders. The new data channels on transponders 89 (11464H), 90 (11479V), and 92 (11509V) are very strong - same level as Astra 2A North, even on an 60cm dish. So I think these must be on the 1N Pan European 2 beam since they are out of the range of 2A, which is the only other satellite capable of producing such a high signal level in Finland now. This is the first time I've seen this beam in operation. [/QUOTE]
