    The TBS 6983 is your best bet. There is an established thread for this card in the link below. It's around the £200 mark from various suppliers including some site sponsors no doubt. https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/tbs-card-6983.162419/

    Looks like the edge of the footprint is just outside my front door:D I get a decent signal with a 1M dish, varies between 9.7dB and 10.5dB depending on time of day. Right now it's at its peak.

    Astra 2G at 28.2E: General Discussion

    The output of TPs 65 & 67 is the poorest I've seen yet on 2G. Roughly 1dB lower than 105 & 107 and almost 2dB lower than 103. Edit: - Sorry, meant to post this in the general dicussion thread. Mod edit: Moved for you

    I would swap a few dB for some decent weather :D

    Astra 2G at 28.2E: General Discussion

    Readings from my 54cm dish show similar results for 2E UK and 2F UK in this band. They do have slightly different RF profiles though. Power outputs for all TPs across all 3 birds are lower in this band than comparable TPs on the same beams elsehwere in the spectrum.

    New layout to the forum

    Thumbs up from me for the fixed menu bar, particularly handy on mobile devices.

    Hi Milamber, I'm not exactly on the fringes so no danger of losing any services. The 1.3dB of a difference was 15.5 v 16.8 ;) I was actually intrigued by the observations by some that 2G wasn't exactly on station. That's when I noticed the difference in output levels and apparent peak positions.

    12207H coming in at 9.7dB here in Glasgow with a 1M dish. Happy with that, on a par with Thor 6 K2 beam here.
