[QUOTE="hvdh, post: 1005891, member: 187415"] Hello [SIZE=4]Dušan, Have a look at the Attachment EngineeringStatement, page 14, where the table shows that the Ku-band User Beam Downlinks use the GXT file KUHD (for horizontal) and KUVD (for vertical). These are the files "Attachment Schedule S GXT 20" (for KUHD) and 21 (for KUVD). This can be checked in notepad (see beam_id). KUHD and KUVD spot shapes are identical, by the way.
