[QUOTE="drhans, post: 859046, member: 333600"] Finally got a chance to install a Fortecstar 2.4m to check the 2F signal in Prague, Czech Republic. The Fortecstar 2.4 is a crappy dish. Probably not even as good as an average 1.8m offset dish would be. But it was just so cheap. Anyway, I managed to get all the 2F transponders 24/7 including light rain with the only exception of 11023 H. Although the measured signal is about the same as the other transponders, 8PSK makes it unstable, breaking up in rain and even with clear sky at cerain hours. What's also interesting is that Vu+ Solo2 manages to deliver stable 11023 H picture while it already breaks up heavily on a DM500HD. I measured the signal only with a DVB2000 Nokia9600 and Vu+Solo2. 2F UK spotbeam frequencies range from 42-48% on Vu+Solo2 (breaking up at 44% for DVB-S2 and at 36% for DVB-S). DVB2000 shows "44-4A" on DVB-S TPs. [/QUOTE]
