I have a problem that I can't solve .. I get different "beam pattern" results with the TBS5925 and TBS5927 cards .. I assumed the problem was in the "scale" value but changing the 5925 card from "1" to a higher value has no effect ..

26E HR test, IQ 2.4.0.6

I also would like some extra guidance please , my results are exactly how satesco describes but would be extra happy if i could get the same great results as others. If using a windows based PC, could any extra help given include a recommendation for a minimum processor & ram size needed to obtain great results . Thank you
To shorten,if not asking too much,I want to present if you can a video tutorial with the two steps,Calibration and HS,for those who want to use IQmonitor.
I don't know how to make a video tutorial and I will try to help using the "screen shot" option.
Start the Ku band calibration procedure by turning the antenna to a position where there are no active signals, in my area it is position 80E. If your antenna is not movable, cover the lnb with aluminum foil.
Set the settings as in Figure 1, manually set the noise threshold, I set -55.00dB. After you turn on the "spectrum" function, the "H" polarization curve will appear. Turn on the "V" polarization and highlight the "Add" function (Figure 2) and restart the "spectrum" function. Save the obtained RF spectrum with the "save" function and rename the directory name with the equipment label you used (card, antenna, lnb), Figure 3. Click the "standard" function and turn off the IQ program. The RF diagram is now saved (Figure 4) and will be loaded the next time the program is started. If you want to check if the calibration is working, turn on the "calibration" function and activate the "spectrum" function on both polarizations. The result must look like in Figure 5, a completely straight line of 10700-12750MHz ..
You can now rotate the antenna to the other satellite and get a perfectly calibrated view. If you have multiple antennas the whole procedure should be repeated for each of them only once. When you change the antenna, simply use the "load" function to load the saved RF diagram from that antenna, there is no need to repeat the calibration procedure.

Thank you for this wonderful program, I just want to help make it even better
HR spectrum at position 90E:

I repeat the same measurement with the new version 2.4.0.6

I see the boss is working hard .
My today's HR test of version 2.4.0.5 on satellite 62E shows great results

Test IQ 2.4.0.5 on satellite 4.8E with 3 different antennas, 116cm, 120cm and 300cm

I did a little more research on the new version. The test at 13E/19.2E shows a fantastic speed of the HR spectrum. In order for the RF spectrum and HR spectrum to be the correct size as soon as I start the spectrum I have to manually turn on the “Auto” scale function, I think it would be easier if IQ does it automatically. The "Min. Level RF" function is always smaller by 3dB compared to "Noise", I think that for a nicer display these values should be the same

I cannot set the first classical spectrum and the HR spectrum to the same initial value. What's wrong?

My first test with IQ 2.4.0.5, comparison with the previous beta version ..

I used two different lnbs. It should only have an impact when measuring S / N quality and not when measuring the directionality and efficiency of the antenna. I think that only the size and quality of the antenna reflector is important for the beam pattern test.

Yesterday I made a comparison of two very similar offset antennas, the NoName 116cm and the Channel Master 120cm .. The smaller antenna gives about 0.3dB better average signal and seems to be of better quality. But when the same antennas are compared with the "beam pattern" function, a completely different result is obtained, the Channel Master reflector has significantly better directivity and efficiency. 2 different Diseqc motors, DM3800 and DM3800S, are used for the test, which is why there is a difference in the number of pulses per stage. An Inverto Black Ultra LNB is mounted on both antennas.

I managed to capture the frequency of 11604 H, SR 186, LUXE radio on the satellite 21.5E with the beta version 2.4.0.5. It is a very difficult task, although it is an excellent signal.
