[QUOTE="BombedOne, post: 581785, member: 300998"] I'm checking various language forums to define the end of widebeam signal reception. So far, most far point is 58°47'0.15"N 56°25'21.64"E - 0.9m dish receives widebeam signals OK. This is just amazing, and prooves theory, that these transponders are set to maximum available power, to fully test power supply capacity of actual satellite. When tests finished, power will be decreased. Just two things make me curious: 1. Why shape of widebeam was just corrected after placing the satellite in position? and why european beam was introduced at all? I think, alignment mechanism of some TP's transmit dish failed, and get stuck in a position, which forms current "wide" beam :) 2. What was these frequencies I was able to receive (10916 & 10948), and what they going to replace? They are not match of any existing TP's not on astra,not on nearby satellites. The most close (10921) is UPC direct TP from 1KR... During blind scan, my receiver can make some errors, but they generally are in 1-2mhz range (say 12120 instead of 12121) so I don't think this was a fault of my hardware. [/QUOTE]
