| | | Satellite Dxing,
Last week before the North East’er rip through New Jersey, I went down to the bay to try and find Atlantic Bird 1 at 12.5º West. I found 30º West with no problem (nice salsa music and salsa dance contest on Cuba Vision.) I slide the dish over, and at the azimuth for Atlantic Bird 1, I did a blind scan and came up with a strong transponder that was id as Skylogic, a satellite Internet provider. The transponder was 11593/H/3504 and it scanned in 4 radio stations that had no audio. They were, AB1eu, AB1sa, IP-Roaming and PCR. I could not find out any info at Lyngsat, or Skylogic’s website. Has anyone ever seen an Internet transponder with a low symbol rate that scanned in as radio channels with labels? The pictures of the find are attached; receiver is Fortec Dynamic, 500 Dish with a Universal Chaparral LNB. |

The pictures of the find are attached; receiver is Fortec Dynamic, 500 Dish with a Universal Chaparral LNB. | I have attempted to scan a DN sat (72.7 or 77) with a Coolsat 5K and with a Fortec Dynamic and the channels there came in as radio channels when they were actually TV channels, so not the same scenario as you are reporting.
By the way, nice van, can I have it?

If the signal is MPEG4 most receivers (that handle MPEG2 only) will log those channels as radio

I thought I tried it before but just tried the AzBox and it shows the strong
signal but will not scan in anything. The Fortec Dynamic scans in exactly
the same as you do (mikelib).

I get the same problem on the Coolsat 5K when scanning 77W. I did managed to scan in one TV station and it is encrypted. The Van was a retirement present to me, I was going to use it travel a lot, but it gets limited use. I use it to go and see the kids and grandkids down in Charlotte, NC. I have a 2004 model on a 2003 Chevy 250 Express Chassis check it out: http://www.roadtrek.com/models.aspx?ModelID=12&YearID=11&Country=USA Quote:

If I was locked on to the correct satellite I should of received the North America spot beam that is listed in Lyngsat one of these days I am going to invest in a spectrum analyzer. Quote:

I have already received Atlantic Bird 2 at 8º west; it has one transponder spot beamed toward the east coast of North America. It has two Arabic Stations on it.

4.7 deg to be exact. It's the farthest east I can get. Caught a video feed on AB 1
yesterday late afternoon. That was a rarity.
