[QUOTE="Ask, post: 833342, member: 380170"] Steve Just before Christmas I received my first WS 6918P, but I had to return it. Just a few days ago I got the new one, and as I understand, the instrument works well. At my place on the west-coast of Norway I don't have the best reception(1.2m dish) regards to Astra 2F, but approx. 30 km to the west(parallel to UK spot) one guy get 80% Quality with a 1.2m dish. The readings I have so far from the 5 tps are only[B] - 43 to - 45 dBm[/B] and [B]- 57 dBm[/B]. The Constellation diagram show a "burst/ dots" nearly all over(in a ring). As I tried the tp. 10714 on Astra 1N I got[B] - 33 dBm [/B]and L86%/ Q100% reception. I know I have to buy a new dish later this year, but I need an advice how to interpret the result so far? (Is this correct: -45,22dBm = 0,00003 mW, -43dBm = 0.0001mW and -33dBm = 0,0005mW ?) Regards Ask [/QUOTE]
