ADMC has come up on Nilesat 201 now (12092 V & 12111 H).

Are they both 27,500 S/R and DBVS2? If they are, I'm not getting a sniff here, though it's early for the signal to peak.

 

[pipino]

yes 27500--5/6 DVB-S2 12.092 in V and the other in H

I havent peaked it mate just to the side so it has 90% signal just so i know where in the sky the dish is at

 

[satelliteman]

If you could then find 23.5°E, pretty sure you'll get onto a rough Badr, then get it tweaked with a pro meter, not a wet towel

 

[garyg]
