36.1°E Express AMU-1 <SSA>

**qwer** · July 1, 2022 at 5:49 PM Official Post

As far as I can see, there does not exist a toppic for this position on this beam... So I give here a GO!

PS: I know, that for all "more western guys", it´s no problem to show their complete locks also from one position - reports already in this toppic: 35.9°E.

...but for me it´s more difficult - and I can´t get any locks - but it´s good enaugh (I think) for give a try in this (linear) frequency range (0.2° more to the east in azimuth)... I even can see parameter from two tp in DVB-S (showing wrong FEC in my scan) ...

PS2: 12245 H is from Eutelsat 36B according LyngSat.

Just my second try - one month later - but signal is more weaker at this time.

PS: 12245 H is from Eutelsat 36B according LyngSat.

Just my october ´22 unlocked-try in this range.

**qwer** · May 28, 2023 at 1:51 PM

Just my first scan in 2023 from this postion and SSA beam. All unlocked (of course from my place and my used setup).

Best DVB-S2/8PSK signal is about 3.2dB under LM: 12092 H 27500 2/3

DVB-S signal is visible: 12303 V 27500 3/4

Probably changed to DVB-S2 now:

12226 V 27500 2/3 DVB-S2 8PSK

/edit: Next DVB-S parameter visible on: 12207 H 27500 3/4

Just my "no-locked-scan" at "prime-time" (at my place) from SSA beam.

PS: I can "see" DVB-S signal from 12303 V.

Midnight scans on SSA and Africa beams from my QTH

One scan for 36B and one for 36C both polarization.

Bad situation on S2 Freqs. on 36C comparing my old scans in 2018, and lower signal now.

I don't know if signal decresed since 2018 but surely my KU setup needs some works hoping to forward real gain of my dish

FYI: I´ve copied superdish66 report above also here in this toppic. Big thanks!

Now,

midday scans. On 36B signal grew up, so I could lock all its Freqs. by fixing Focus on 36C.

No changes for 36C Freqs still very poor (No Lock on S2 Freqs.)

P.S. H Pol. with TBS6983, V Pol. with TBS6908

A little better in the evening at 20:30

36C grew up a little bit and Freqs in DVB-S are all stable

No chance for S2 Freqs. 11996 V just near the lock

Just my scan from this position/range and beam after more than 1,5 years...

One lock in CS blindscan possible - but not in manual yet...

Things have changed and getting worse... only one DVB-S frequency remained (accordiing my last scan)...

**qwer** · March 24, 2025 at 5:25 PM

Just another scan on that beam... nothing lockable...

**superdish66** · April 27, 2025 at 10:51 PM

Here is my very poor situation

DVB-S Freqs. Lackable on the limit. No chance for DVB-S2. NW Italy

**superdish66** · June 23, 2025 at 11:12 PM

Now, after some works, but it needs patience and more adjustements planned for next days

Better situation. Many locks. Better in H.

No Locked Freqs. are very near in manual

11957 V - Locked at -10dB, but not possible to analyze.

Extreme lock in manual in a second time. lucky in analysing stream, but surely it is not possible to detect any pictures

**superdish66** · July 20, 2025 at 1:49 AM

Tonight's Test, not all locked in one trying

In H still two low Feqs. very hard.

In V tonight I lost 12303, but better BS than last time. In V it's more difficult.

Let's try next days earlier than tonight and after few more works on the antenna
