Hellas-Sat 3 @ 39°Ε

12136V 28334 at 18.5 db with 1.5m dish

but no channels yet

 

[ocean04]

Any other reports, what is the signal level compared to hs2?

Here it's about the same as hs2/f1, 14.0db sf4008 2.4m. Was expecting weak signal here (outside footprint)

I am getting 12137 V 28330 3/4 S2 8PSK 90% signal quality on HS-3 with 88cm dish = 14.6 dB
Lower signal quality on 11135 V 30000 on HS-2 = 13.7 dB with the same set up.

Here the HS3 transponder 12137 V is stronger with 18 dB, while the HS2 transponders above 12.5 GHz are between 15 and 16 dB.

A chart I compiled for signal comparison.

Hellas Sat 2 Quality signals with TM6902HD + 100cm
10970 V 30000 = 87%
11011 V 30000 = 86%
11052 V 30000 = 87%
11077 V 3333 = 86%
11082 V 4444 = 86%
11134 V 30000 = 87%
12523 V 30000 = 86%
12523 H 30000 = 83%
12564 V 30000 = 85%
12564 H 30000 = 81%
12605 V 30000 = 84%
12605 H 30000 = 83%

12738 V 30000 = 86%

HS-3 today 12137 V 28330 =86% 100cm

is footprint same as hellas 2? or larger coverage?

I couldn't receive Europe beam previously but now I can get very weak signals with a mutifeed system. If I used Hellassat at the center, I am sure I could get decent signal as a friend from Turkish a forum got decent signal from12136V (9.2 db) with a 90 cm offset dish from the eastern end of Turkey, which was impossible previously.

[Europesat]

Thanks all
When will be the transfer fom hs2 to hs3?

.... Now seeing C band carrier levels being tested on LHCP.
Freq: 3804 LHC.
Vid of observed carrier being raised and lowered to follow shortly.

From what I understood HS-3 only has TT&C at the edges of C-band (3700.5, 3701.0, 4197.5 and 4198.0 MHz).
Other C-band satellites are too close (Express-AM7 at 40°E, PakSat-1R at 38°E). Probably you're getting 40°E here?

... That could well be the case, there are no documented allocated frequencies on 40° East at 3804 LHC so who knows ?. Re: frequency allocations for C band on 39°, .... the Ka documented frequency use for the Ka channels was way higher than the observed Ka testing frequencies which were way lower down the band. Perhaps it's the same scenario with the C band tests ?? ... time will tell.
Anyway , .... here's the vid of the observed carrier activity for 3804 LHC which is just to the right of the red marker.

test channel

12117Η 28334 DVB-S H.264
18.2db with 1.5m dish

 

[william-1]

100cm dish + TM5502HD

 

[william-1]

88cm dish + TM5302HD


The signal is strong enough for 45cm dish reception.

 

[ocean04]

Two more 12308H SR28332 and 12482V SR28332

 

[william-1]

88cm dish + TM5302HD

 

[MCelliotG]

Crazy signals in all of them! The "weakest" is 12482V at 20.2db and the strongest one is 12309H at 21.0db on my 1.30 dish!
