[QUOTE="John, post: 1039119, member: 175005"] ... there's a nice 2.3 PF for sale on your doorstep :cool: - - but just taking that satellite at 55°W, it's linear so you won't need the loss inducing slab which is a bonus. dB levels on all the available transponders vary quite a bit for signal lock, anywhere from 3.1dB up to 9.4dB. If you want to be able to look & lock at all available tp's then you need something like the 2.3 upwards. If you are only wanting a particular Tp that requires around 5dB or so to lock then you will be ok with a 1.8 or possibly a 1.5, go for the larger for a better margin.
