Thread: Trouble pulling in weak W3

To All

Is anyone having trouble pulling in W3? I heard it was weak but I thought I could still pull it in with my, DSR922 4DTV, Norsat 8515 lnb, 10' SAMI dish I get T4 Gal.28 real good. So what's the problems? It would be greatly appreciated!

getting it just fine here with a 8.5' dish.

I guess I'll have to do little more tweaking on my BUD. By the way rainmaker, what type of lnb you're using if you don't mine?

87, that's one of the strongest birds up there for me down here in MX, so you should definitely be getting it. Strongest signals are TVU and NASA.

Let me check if I see some analog might be easier to find it that way: no active analog feed right now

W3 on the 922 is Amc 3, Amc 9 is W9 at 83w. My Lnb's are the Norsat 8515 c band and Norsat 4506A for ku. and a Chaparal co rotor II feed horn.

You are right, my mistake!....it is on amc3 87*W. I'm having great reception on 89*W Galaxy28. Can't tell about AMC9 83* I don't get anything on that sat. I went back to AMC 3 and tried tweaking nothing yet.

Amc 9 has a couple of RTV feeds East and West. on the ku side.
