Another Update:
I managed to lock the Mehran TV frequency on 4104 V, SR1600 with an signal level of 6.4 dB. I think this will be the last one I can get with the Precision 2.0m dish as there are no others reasonably close to a lock that I can try for.
After a good bit of time allocated to messing around on 38.0 East I managed a total of 11 frequencies locked with pictures. I have attached below a couple of channel screen grabs from the Mehran TV, the latest one locked.

An excellent set of results M.B. - From what is a very difficult satellite to catch anything from here in the uk . and i,m well aware of how much time you will have spent getting those results too
As i think we discussed,, each transponder seems to require its own unique dish position and - or l.n.b. / scalar adjustments to get the best from... And on top of this the transponder signal strengths seems not to be constant either - but varies day to day / week to week . The last one that i struggled so hard to lock a few nights ago (in clear weather) now seems to stay locked all day and runs without freezing (in cloud and rain), .... whereas others i locked without issue a week ago wont lock, or will only lock briefly in the evenings.
So i would not rule out other transponders being possible to lock in the future .. Its just very time consuming l.o.l.
