[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 1166160, member: 296628"] [USER=175005]@John[/USER] - When you have time .. could you look at 11996 27500 The frequency is used by both DSTV Africa and Trikolor Russia ... i get pretty much zero from the Africa beam (no plate in feed ). ......but a reasonably strong signal (no lock though ) with a plate in from the Russian beam ... the odd thing is i,m getting signal from left and right circular polarity? .... so i,m puzzled - as this is not the case with 12149 .. ....With 12149 i get signal and lock , on one circular polarity only. ..and no signal on its other polarity . Signal seems stronger in general today despite cloud cover here. 12149 even locked briefly without a plate this afternoon and was showing 10.0 db with a plate in.
