I'm excited. If this stays like this, I'll finally have good reception on Badr 8.

11727H 27500 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
Test?
Signal 0.0dB

 

[wellikan]

I don't have enough power

 

[Satfaca]

Some optimism here as well.
11.766 H is obviously a replacement for 12.399 V. Unfortunately in Irdeto.



It looks like 11.727 H is off atm.

 

[Satfaca]

11.727 H testing again.

 

[Satfaca]

Guys increased the power again.

 

[dreamsat]

I only have minor fluctuations here. The signal is very stable.

 

[wellikan]

After the

Satfaca​

message, I checked the signal strength of -7.1 dB. Now it is 5.4dB

 

[Satfaca]

I only have minor fluctuations here. The signal is very stable.

Here stable as well... I just got lucky last night by catching the moment of powering up the transponder (11.727 H).

12.015 V - The Summit just started.

Hallo
My result in very heavy rain, between 11700 and 12200

 

[dx qwer]

Finally I can lock 11766 H on the limit via TBS 6522. In the morning hours signal is about 1.0dB under lock.
PS: 11727 H is "disturbed" from strong signal at position 28.2°E (11719 H 31430), even on 2.2m from my place...

12015 V 27500 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK Badr 4????8???Beam???

Hard to tell. But comparing the signals I'd say good old BADR 4.

 

[stephan94]

This morning it didn't rain. The result is much better
but it's not enough for 11728 and 11766
