11 W reception

[abrasat]

Is there any active frequency on this satellite right now, that can be scanned with a 100 cm dish in west europe?

 

[Channel Hopper]

What C band LNB is on the end of your dish ?

Express AM44 at 11.0°W - LyngSat

@11° West C-band, RHC here - North Nottinghamshire. - 2.2mtr PF / Circ poloriser / Norsat lnb.
** 5G interference present at this frequency causing problems.
3662 RHC. 10806. 1/2.

Thanks, I have only LNB for Ku Band. I wanted to prepare for eventual feeds

The satellite is in inclined orbit, you would need a second motor (or two LNBs) to get continuous coverage.

 

[EnoSat]

Today short feed on 11616H
Stable transmit only data

Thanks for the information. Is it possible to scan the transponder of a data channel on a enigma 2 receiver and check if the signal is available?
Does anyone know of some app (android) that can also scan frequencies on a enigma 2 receiver? I mean something like the SignalMeter app for example, but additionally with the transponder scan functionality.

If your enigma receiver has a blind scan (not all do) you can see which frequencies are found from the search, data ones will be rejected once the search for receivable bouquets is underway.

Man, I didn't realise that 5G caused issues elsewhere on the arc. Thought it was just the deep western side...

If you have a suitable e2 receiver:
1, the data channel also transmits the TableID

2, the data channel does not broadcast the TableID


If you do not have a suitable e2 receiver, the data channels may show LOCK instability

The worse could yet be coming CJ - these two gentlemen seen playing on their man sized cherry picker last week are only 300mtrs away down the road and due South of my 2.2 Cband. Not too sure what they are doing yet as they got 'rained off' last week but it could be another nail in the coffin for the bottom end of Cband reception

@Channel Hopper, @EnoSat: Thanks. I have a Vu+ Duo 4k receiver, it does not support blindscan
