49e yamal 601

[Lasseparabol]

Did a scan on 49E Yamal 601.
Don't think it's a noticeable difference vs old Yamal 202, maybe 1-2 dB more.
Made in southern Sweden, perhaps greater differences in the rest of Europé.

I am not convinced the switch happened yet. There's no difference at my end on the 1.8m.

The signal became a bit weaker - especially on 3936L - was 46 - 48%, now only 32 - 38%.. on 1,8m mesh + 25K. Perhaps AV-Comm C band high performance circular feedhorn and Norsat 5500 15K LNB will help.

Yamal 202 is moving, at about 72e now: Real time satellite tracking for: YAMAL 202 YAMAL 601

A satellite signal level evolution table and a few channel screeen grabs from 49.0 East (Yamal 601) are attached below.

There are currently only 4 regularly active TV frequencies and one radio frequency. I managed to lock all 4 of the TV frequencies but that is nowt special as the UK is favourably located under the satellite footprint. The only frequency that was not constantly locked was 3752 R which was OK during morning and afternoon but under the level needed for a lock in the evening. On to the next...
