My empty bad Scans for this Beam.

Smelling something only in High Band

Very much work to do with my Feed....

Smelling something only in High Band

...I can smell shomething here too (-10dB, but no fake)...but nothing right now on 12650 V 30000...

/edit1: just a bit more (skewing)...

12650 V 30000 -10dB

12530 V 30000 -2.6dB

/edit2:

others in low band from 1.0 to max. 2.0dB (on 11171 V 30000)

Just another unlocked scan (of course) in low range - first in year 2023, I think..

PS: 10986 V changed now to 3/4 DVB-S2 QPSK (in July ´23)

/edit:

far far away

The same satellite was searched with the program IQ monitor, a very powerful tool for analysis, all parameters are accurately displayed, although there is a lot, very much missing for reception. With spectrum calibration, the RF signals are very noticeable.

My current Scan in higher band

bol@nov please try a scan in 12.5-12.75 MHz vertical range.

After a little fine tuning it was possible for me for the first time smell the high band frequencies

...getting 50% of them "positive unlocked" today... as well as I need 50% more of signal on 11171 V to lock...

Just another look in my no-locked area... I´m nearly positive in the early evening hours...

Even at my location West Africa beam is visible! But only at band 12500-12750

Parameter still possible here on:
11671 V 30000 5/6 DVB-S

dito in year 2025

Just my night trying. Typical bad result, of course.

Freqs. in higher band visible, but not in one shot

Just for showing my actual scans.

All positive in higher band except 12730V

Not good the rest.

Still some maintenance to plan with antenna to look forward acceptable gain in KU

After few regulations this morning I could intercept two more Freq. in midband with negative result

Just my current scans.. only 11490 V 51430 (GS) lockable - as expected ... nothig in high range...

...getting all DVB-S2 transponder with positive dB signal... that´s positive for me here...

/edit: since a long time unchanged -10dB unlocked signal for DVBS transponder 11671 V

...another positive scan from my place... about 1.3dB under LM for 11171 V (my best signal)
