53E (Express AM6)

[John]

This mornings grab is the first time (i think) that i have seen the correct transmitted receive parameters that match the original channel data for reception shown on the screen a week or so ago

I think Watan is still being degraded by about 5dB but it's now got one narrow signal at 11661 underneath it and another one on 11665 extending its apparent bandwidth at the top end. The signal on 11661 was present a few days ago as was another narrow signal on 11668. I think that the RF level of Watan has remained the same for a while.

@John , it's interesting that your analyser shows the CNR at 13dB and the MER at 8dB which is consistent with my 7-8dB SNR today vs. 13-14dB when in the clear. If you tune to 11665, can you get anything with a SR of 2000ks?

Just checked the plot now Graham, when i posted earlier there was nothing else showing either side of 11660, it was clean - now my Promax plot shows the same as your latest plot - unfortunatly i can't narrow the lock capture range on this particular Promax HD Ranger+ so as to capture just the area of 11665, it just latches onto 11660.
I'll manually input the info into the GTCombo and see what i get

Nothing found either side - now gone to a clean plot as of 2pm Uk, only 11660 showing.

Same here, but the signal is up and down here...
