TurkSat 4A is testing @ 50 east

[mar-val]

What screenshot is that signal meter from, mar-val?

On the screenshot are receivers Openbox X810 and DR.HD F15.;)

 

[Vipersan]

Does that mean the eutalsat ka band lnb will pick up the beams?

The only ka beam I have so far read about was in KA band B ..
,,and yes I have been monitoring on and off with my SL3 ...
So far nothing ..but then it may well be a very tight footprint ..
or I simply mis-timed my searches.
Flysat list just one so far :- 19750 L
and was tested with the Tanitim broadcast..but eventual use will most likely be data.

So yes..The inverto dual used for Saorsat should also do the job,

A huge signal off 11982V 20000 2/3 this evening - SQ 76% on the F3

carrying the usual Tanitim3.

Thats an Old HD Gui firmware for the Dr HD F15 what version is that please and do you find it better than the newer HD Gui variants.

Just noticed on the F15 screenshot the Sat degree quotes '45°' east

 

[mar-val]

F15 has max 64 sat, positions ,I dont have position 50E,so I added it to 45E.
Im using FW 1.21pv4. Older 1.xx softs show SNR below lock correctly as it is,like PC cards. And 1,21v4 looks for me the best.
2.xx softs show below lock still same . Signal is flickering from 2,0-2,9, no matter what modulation.

 

[Archived-1]

Only locking one TP here tonight, 11892 v 20000, a strong signal at my location.

 

[Archived-1]

From lock to nothing, I travel 19 small clicks on the actuator on the above TP, I cant believe how wide the beam is.

Yep, I found that too. Snr shows correctly up to v1.25p and then it's broken for good. I wonder if TMs and D15 suffer the same fate...

IMHO 11919V has been there all the time as well but the mux only contains null packets.

 

[pontiend]

This morning on my TD88 I get.
11891 V sr 20000. 90%.
11918 V sr 25000. 82% Black screen.
TM5402HD TD88.

Still the same this morning.

This is a very understated and relaxed Testing Phase, it seems!

New test found on European beam this morning @ 50 east
11891 V 20,000 Turksat_Tanitim3

 

[Lazarus]

It's been there since 15 Apr - pretty much the only constant in our daily observations.

Reported as gone here http://www.flysat.com/turksat4a.php
So I will let them know that it is back.

 

[william-1]

50 east 11919 V DVB-S2/QPSK 25000 4/5 strong signal but no audio or video pids Turksat_Tanitim test has gone.

 

[pontiend]

11892v 20000 is coming in here alright

 

[tempo]

The third month of Turksat 4A testing has started already. I don't know how long that will be and why do they doing so long testing.
Current spectrum of the sat in my location is in attachment. Two vertical polarization transponders are in west beam, but single horizontal TP is in east beam (nothing there in Slovakia).

To establish the rights of use of an orbital slot , every satellite provider , he has to keep the satellite at least 90 days (3 months) on this orbital slot .

So , Turksat 4A has to stay at 50E , at least 90 days , before moving to 42E .

 

[Laser]

So is the plan to keep Turksat 4A at 50east until July when Turksat 4B is launched to 50east full time?

Yes then after testing of 4B is completed 4A will then move to 42 east.
