74.9°E ABS-2 (?)

**qwer** · 31. Juli 2015

From Position 74.0°E, not sure if G-Sat-14:

Peak on 18665 V

Edit: Maybe an CrazyScan error?

I did some searching again, Gsat-14 only has a single beacon in Ka-band (near 20.2 GHz) for propagation studies.

Okay, thanks hvdh.

Today in circular right - only from this position...

18362 R - 45MHz wide

No constellation with TBS 6903/TBS 6903X/TBS 6925

This one stays a mystery!

I suppose you are sure, it is not 74.9°E ABS-2, that has unspecified Ka-band?

Since 2019 there is also GSat-11, but that one has only 19.7...20.2 GHz.

No, not totaly sure - so it is probably 74.9°E ABS-2 and to be confirmed by scan from someone else of course...

Thanks once again hvdh

... renamed as 74.9°E ABS-2 (?)...

This is the Ka-band footprint of ABS-2.

Circular transponders in Commercial band would be 435 MHz, and in Military band would be 225 MHz wide.

Have you tried Ka-band C already?

**qwer** · 28. März 2021

Okay, thanks and I hope not to forget to try next time in band C.
