My Satellite Setup
1.5m IRTE PF, Octagon OSLO external Ref., TBS6983,
Various L, S, C, X & Ka bits. 1.2m S/X/Ku/Ka Prodelin on Az-El (being refurbished)
My Location
Essex
Very strong despite being behind a tree:
SNRT Laayourne (Morocco) on 19417.8MHz RHCP 3330ks/s S2/8PSK 3/4
Arabic language radio on 18415.5MHz RHCP 555ks/s QPSK 3/4
The transponder noise extends from about 19.35-19.50GHz and there are a few other narrow signals around 19375MHz RHCP which I can't lock using CS.
Thanks to @John for confirmation

Unfortunately, that's all you can guess from this transponder with a diameter of 2.20 m.

Not our beam

... this signal is at least 5dB down from my normal 20dB today with fairly cloud free skies at the moment.

Good signal here for 19417R and 19420R. Doesn't change much over days I've checked.

Saorsat LNBF on Triax 88cm.

... @ Llew, have a look on your Promax with a LO set to 21.200 for the Saorsat lnbf and tell me what the downlink frequency says when your looking at 19.417 R please. I'll explain later :D

23072 John. A reversed spectrum of course (BTW, my actual LOF of the LNBF is 21245, as I've been twiddling the DRO screw testing it on other sats).

Chaps, This may be an awkward question but why is this thread attributed to Es'hail 2. There are two other satellite co-located with Ka Band capacity at this location. Why Es'Hail2?

By the way, I'm getting a very strong signal on 19.418Ghz = 20dB C/N using the Inverto LNB made for Saorsat on my 1.2m CM dish near Tewkesbury.

I suspected that Llew but here's what had me scratching my head.
My Promax is running the latest FW, a few days ago i dug out my Saorsat and put it on a spare slot on the changer.
Unless i am going senile, i'm sure i entered 21.200 LO into the Promax and it gave the correct downlink freq of 19.417.
I tried it a bit later on the same freq after the Promax had been switched off but the downlink freq came up as 23.3 thereabouts.
Long story short - i set the LO to 17.635 which it seems happy with.
CS or EBSPro are quite happy with 21.200
Thanks for looking

Yes, using the Soarsat on a regular spectrum range as on the Promax, you need to change the LOF to read each downlink frequency

The Crazyscan version I use on the Saorsat correctly adjusts to the reversed range.
