61.0°E ABS-4

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    Anyone tried to receive this old satellite already?


    Mostly S-band, but has one 25 MHz Ku-band transponder centered 12226.


    Also beacon could be received by qwer and sometimes by me, I think it was 12202, while on other positions like 63.2°E.


    Right now I can't see the beacon, there is however a bump at 12221 V, maybe some activity?

  • Thank you hvdh for reminded us of the satellite :70:
    12230 V,5548,1/2-who knows,maybe with a bit of luck I would have locked the signal?!,which is now fluctuating.

    There is also a QPSK signal on 12198 V ( very weak)
    The beacon (not on 12202 ) ?

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    12230 V 5550 could be MIS continuous, each of our scan showing a different modulation (QPSK: 8PSK and 16APSK)..just an idea.


    around 1dB here (1.80m dish)

    Thanks all for trying! The mystery continues, nobody locks 12230 V.


    Don't understand where 12198 V comes from. Here showing nothing (of course with 120 cm).


    But beware of Astra 1G at 59.84°E (incl. 0.7°), capable of high-band.

    Hi Feedsat,


    I get 12203 V, looks like Telemetry?

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    12203 V: I get nothing here, my KU LNB is not PLL on the Channel Master but couldn't have 5Mhz of difference especially when 12228/9 V is OK for both of us


    strange but definitely too weak for my 1.80m dish :33:


    I will keep an eye on it during good weather conditions.


    Thanks to hvdh for having remind us this position.

    A little bit history from archive (03.03. and 05.03.2014).


    PS: Must have a look on another time.

    Thanks marval450 for your feedback!


    You can try it with manual scan, choose SR 5550 and DVB-S2 and click "Blind Scan" off. You can also try EBS, if you want.


    Good luck! :74:


    PS: My signal is too bad to do this right now.


    EDIT: hvdh was first.


  • Ofcourse I tried it all ,no luck... :37:

    Situation today.


    12227 H 23995 8/9 DVB-S2 QPSK, occasionaly

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    I can see in your profile that you use a TBS 5925.


    Maybe that´s the reason here (I don´t know) and a TBS 6925 or TBS 6983 could lock this one...


    Thank you for trying, marval450, and thank you for your post!


    Best Regards
    qwer.
