[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1079584, member: 178786"] Attached below is today's scan result table for 46.0 East in C-Band. The noticable feature of this satellite is that there is a bunch of frequencies all with low symbol rate with only a small separation between them, in some cases only 1MHz. The cluster is between 4116V and 4137V. I manged to achive signal locks on most of this cluster but a couple of them required manual tuning. I think there may be scope for improvement on the signal levels I recorded as I was using a Zinwell LNBF inserted into a "non polo pipe". The plain pipe was needed to get the feed throat aperture to the focal distance required for the dish. The current feed holder on the dish does not allow an LNBF to get close enough unless it is "piped up" I will return to this satellite when I have fitted an alternative set of feed support arms to the dish that allow an LNBF to be clamped at the correct focal distance without needing to be "piped up". .
