Nice one nelson-b the only thing with scanning is you miss a lot of channels I go from one transponder to another which I find is quicker than a slow scan it can take so long.

Hi Pride -
Yes - I find the blind search on the F15 varies a lot between satellites for some reason?
on Paksat the blind search works well for me and seems to catch everything possible even though the signals are borderline/weak -- but on one or two other sats, with weak signals the only way to find signal "is" to go through the list from one transponder to another. as a blind search reveals next to nothing ?
regards - Nelson.

3732 V has changed modulation for 8PSK but strong signal now

Hi -
Thanks for the info - Feedsat_DXer for the past few days i have the 3 m prodelin lined up on this sat and i,m receiving 3732 V at 8.0 db here tonight -- this is a first time lock on this transponder for me :)

You're right nelson, until today it was impossible to lock this one with a 3.1m from this part of Europe .
On tuesday a first sign, the fec was 3/4 instead of 5/6 in QPSK-S2 but weak and today: Surprise :cool:

tuesday's scan QPSK2 3/4 and lock:

Blind scan today on the 1.8m with the C band LNB in the centre... 4 transponders.

Yes. those transponders seem the strongest ones. A very fringe satellite in UK (and Europe in general, it seems).

Just did a blindscan - have a new TP I never received before, 4089V Dunya. Weak but stable.

Nothing else new, just the usual.. VTV university on 4163V, AJK TV on 3985V and PTV on 4055V.

Attached below is today's scan result table and some channel pictures from my scan of 38.0 East in C-Band.

I managed to achive signal locks on 6 frequencies, all of which were stable enough to provide channel picture screen grabs without any pixelation. Most of the signals seem to be stronger in the evening apart from Roze TV (4101V) which seems stronger in the morning.

Update:

I managed to lock another one making it a total of 7 frequencies. The signals seem to be marginally improving as the evening progresses? The new frequency locked is Dharti TV (4017V), picture attached below. I am just over the threshold for a lock on this one at 5.6dB with 5.5dB needed for a lock.

Your doing well ..... i find it an odd satellite ... reception of a transponder might be good for a few nights then go weak or disappear completely a few days later ...
Certainly better reception for you in the south than it is for me up here .. not set up properly for C band on the 2.4 here currently, so cant check it out - Very stormy here tonight in the north west.

Thanks Nelson, I swapped over the feed arrangement from the Zinwell LNBF in a "non polo pipe" to a Titanium Wimax LNBF without any type of pipe. I had to fit a shorter set of feed support arms to get the Titanium LNBF feed throad aperture closer to the dish and to its correct focal distance.

The LNBF swap over probably got me about 0.4db instantly and then I adjusted the Az/El for the new feed arrangement which nicked a few more fractions of a dB. It was just enough to tip a few of the frequencies persistently just under a lock into the lock zone. The other factor is time of day, most of the frequencies I locked seem to have higher signal levels in the evening.

I might swing the dish back round to 46.0 East now I have changed the feed arrangement to see if I can squeeze any more juice from that satellite? On the other hand, I am tempted to start twizzling about with the polarity skew and the feed/scalar pair distances to see if I can nick a few more fractions of a dB.
