does anyone have the different local oscillator fq, so we can recalc for a normal one (and using L/R polarisation !) gonna try and fiddle with a teflon plate in an old universal Ku-lnb for that :) (teflon dielectricum at 45° like the ones used in a C=band but then somewhat smaller) Any other...

And yes I'm on a mountain :) @225m 'Col de Ternère' near the Canigou Happy sightings ! Serge

Hi, receiving Astra 2 here works flawless (all channels) on my 90 cm aluminium dish. The Z-channels look - quality-wise - much less then the others so I suspect the Uplink-properties for these channels are to blame, not the receiving parts. However on my biggger dish (1.3 echostar) i must...

Hi, the amazonas signal is strong (>80%) it sits at 12563MHz/27000 FEC 1/2 it's very handy to calibrate west limit for european users. With my 100 cm dish and Stab rotor I have all sats (amos very weak only the 27000H TP) from 61W to 70.5E, about 8000 services (coded and not, radio & TV & Data)...

Hi, there is the BSC621-2 combo (with integrated disecq switch) LNB but i find it only on the thai infosat site or sold in the US, looking for one too, it sometimes appears on *bay but i don't *bay no more :) Serge, France

OK 1 W that is the location you're at. It means that if you go to -setup-motor-goto O it should point right at intelsat 10-02 (or the position also known as thor 2-3) the three sats are there. If you would go to manual scan and input 11189MHz-V-2142 auto you should find the channel named...

Rehi, First you could maybe try to use disecq instead of usals which is easier to install as you can fine tune each satelitte hand by hand. (as long as you don't have over 50 sat positions i would do this as the recommended way, takes a little more time to set up but the result is nicer i...

I forgot to specify the useless one on my reception list : 61W - Amazonas 12563-27000V very strong 'data?'-signal (comes in at 84%) 24/24 7/7 it's a good signal to point out your dish to the west, nothing more. I think this is some kind of maintance link from the sat to EADS (based in...

Hi, First check if your East limit is not set blocking your rotor ('disable limits') Strongest TP for me on Turksat is the 11804MHz-24446V dreamtv TP (Perpignan, France) Remember that the Horizontal TP's are very difficult to catch while they are on the east-beam so first try to lock to the...

lyngsat is not that complete as many think ! :), although in this case kingofsat does not mention this TP either. The signal is definitely 3 degrees W of 58W so that leaves only the amazonas or echostar 3/Rainbow satellites (latter don't have this TP either !). In RF we get something as mirror...

For those interested, reception on a motorized 90cm dish: I receive (west) with good signals: 61W,58W,45W,43W,34W,31.5W,30W,27.5W,24.5W,22W,18W,15W,12.5W,8W,7W,5W,1W (no amos at all, 11W poor and occasionally had 20W, no 0.8 thor's just 1W intelsat 10-02)) I receive (east) with good signals...

I get a 80% signal of a 12563V27002 transponder at 61W here near perpignan dreambox tells me it is data, anyone knows what it is (Amazonas or another sat ?) using a 90cm dish Serge
