11127 H, 5000,5/6,8APSK-IRIB Karbala2 SD

11158 H, 2500, 5/6-KERMAN SNG

It seems that the situation in Iran has a silver lining for us here in Europe: with the recent changes, the signal at 78.5E is better than before, and IRIB channels can be viewed clearly and without any issues.

11174 H, 7000, 5/6, 8PSK-Takta3A is scrambled. dreamsat reports it, but it is not listed on Lyngsat.

11639 H, 32000, 3/4, 8PSK-new symbol rate.

12174 H, 12380, ?, S2X/256APSK, 0.10- Data, new.

12231 H, 3394, 1/4, S2-Data, new,

12239 H, 3394, 1/4, S2-Data, new.

How do I allocate space for the spectrum? As you can see, the app can only read a portion of the frequencies.

Here's what the same spectrum looks like with Crazyscan2.

11787 H, 23332, 1/2, S2-ABS promo, new

The signal on Yamal 402 is stronger in the afternoon and evening in my area. The signal strength in the upper band on the two Russian muxes reaches up to 12 dB. Compared to April, I’ve found a new mux at 12620 H, 27500, 3/4, which is listed on Lyngsat.

This time, I also picked up 11276 V, 10866, 1/2, in addition to other DATA muxes.

For the past few days, a receivable signal from the East Africa beam has been maintained in my area on two MUXes, 10984 H and 11164 H.

In fact, these two are detectable, and I can often lock onto them. I have never been able to lock onto 11105 H, even though it has the same reception parameters as the other two and comes from the same area.

Hi Fey, thanks for the upcoming release.

I'd like to know if you've taken a look at the 34.5E stream files posted in #199.

They’re interesting streams that you can access with your antenna if my files aren’t working.

Kind regards

Just another update her for the GSE list...
11474 V 30000 - already appeared in superdish66scan above
11523 H 5119 - probably new
...

I'm also adding the reports for the SES Demo HD promo:

11592 V, 23331, 1/2 and 12520 V, 30000, 1/2

Otherwise, the same muxes as in my area.

With a weaker signal in my area, the Crazyscan and Low Symbol Rate apps managed to find and lock onto the three Dutch radio stations in the upper band at 16.0E.

I’m thrilled that DVB app developers are diversifying their offerings and tackling the issue of signal scanning and acquisition—something that, not long ago, was unimaginable for the average user (we were/are in that same boat). In this regard, Ukrainian Yuri Filatov, alias Strannik, with his app, IQmonitor, following in the footsteps of crazycat, has explored and found an extraordinary solution to highlight (subliminal) signals in the spectrum that would otherwise go undetected with other DVB apps.

For now, it’s the only app that lets us see the “unseen” (ghosts, just kidding) amidst the cacophony of noise it analyses, so that our signal hunt actually yields something.

With the ambition that characterises him from his forum posts, and now on this topic, PantaSat at least lets me dream that it’s possible for his app to sift through the noise to find that meaningful carrier signal (parameters) and give us the feeling that a DXer’s search wasn’t in vain.

Of course, what I’m saying now is just in my mind as a seeker, and in reality, there may not be an app capable of “miracles.” But in this age of AI we’re beginning to live in, it’s at least reasonable to hope that a developer like PantaSat might succeed in offering us a silver bullet with his ever-evolving app—providing tangible proof that the subliminal can be palpable.

But I’d better illustrate what I was saying above with a textual metaphor I obtained using the IQmonitor app at 16.0E, which detected a series of muxes with valid parameters and which could be carrying, who knows, anything. Knowing that in this part of the band there were/are several radio stations using low symbol rates, you might think that these frequencies also carry streams(?).

Encouraged by the settings you suggested in your app, especially for those of us on this DX forum, I set out to scan with FeedScanner, the same part of the band as IQmonitor. The app didn't find anything; only IQmonitor can detect many frequencies. The only issue with these, or others we find using the app, is that we couldn't figure out what they actually contain. Given their strong signal, I keep wondering what they might be hiding. So far, no app has been able to reveal this to us. Maybe an AI will be the next “developer” to show us what these muxes are all about.

Here are the frequencies in question:

I hope I didn't miss any files for your analysis.

Perhaps a comparison test with an STV091X-based card (6983/69093, 5927)—which many users have—using the Crazyscan app and TBS Universal Analyser, also at 21.6E, would be more relevant. I used the Blindscan2 feature in both apps for the scan.

As I expected, CrazyCat seems to have outdone himself with his app by implementing BLScan2 (do you remember when he asked us back in 2015, if my memory serves me right?), especially if we want it to find muxes that can’t be locked!

After I enabled BLScan2, I recall the signal strength seemed to have improved slightly, making this STV091X-based card the best-performing one on the market for DVB-S2 reception! No other card or model can match it in this category!!!

In the PantaSat app, I enabled "Force BLscan2," which gave the best results compared to the others—Direct BLscan, Threshold, and BLScan No Spectrum.

However, PantaSat’s FeedScanner Suite app, with the BLScan2 (no lock) feature enabled, achieves the same performance with the tbs6983 card as Carzyscan does

But instead of adjectives or superlatives, it would be better for other users to scan and compare the PantaSat app with Crazycat’s app using these cards.

(I know it’s annoying to bring up an issue that’s already been discussed here, but I’m not sure what impression the washed-out red on a white background—as seen in FeedScanner Suite—will make. It seems to me that for such a high-performing app, it would be worth considering a different colour scheme or spectrum highlighting.)
