A bit of a curious data transponder -

12616V 1000 DVB-S2 QPSK 1/3

I was trying to get this last night, it seemed to lock at a pretty strong level with my meter (Satlink WS6933) but on the Octagon SF8008 mini there was no sign of any signal.

Data rate would be something like 700kbps so I'm wondering if there's maybe some radio hidden inside, like the adjacent frequencies used for RTL Belgique, Hit West etc.

This was an hard one: last chance i recorded full tp with EBS pro and analyzed the content with notepad++
It turns out the TP is used for Asterisk PBX data, so nothing interesting for us :unsure

Another one from me :D Again pretty strong -

8°W 12506V 4250 DVB-S2 3/4. I think it's 32APSK. It locks at ~11dB C/N on my Satlink meter periodically, so it's most likely GSE.

Can anyone lock this on a GSE-capable card (TBS6903X, TBS6909X, Cine S2 V7, etc)? I'd be very grateful for a full TS dump! On the hunt for more satellite DAB feeds...

More surprisingly I don't often see the MENA beams here on the 85cm, but 11179 V is coming in relatively clearly.

Odd if the beam pattern is correct.

Coming in loud and clear here ( on the SF8008), the GTMedia remote is currently AWOL.

Both working without issues here on the GTMedia Combo. Bit of an empty stadium though.
