Brian, his post says it's a 36"

BTW, I think he is Moses Primo from 3ABN according to his user name and location

We noticed the same in our testing with TP13: 11960, The SQ dropped rapidly when bumping East/West as compared to other transponders.

If any of you have a meter to measure SNR or Spectum Analyzer on the G19 transponders, it would be interesting to see if these issues might be due to interference from adjacent satellites.

The smaller dish with wider beam width appear to not reject adjacent satellite interference?

It looks that way Brian

Winegard 30" dish on main setup
GeoSatPro 36" on 2nd motorized

The LNB on the main is a Sadoun dual .4
The LNB on the 2nd one is the WSI dual (the orange one)

SE Michigan

11842 fluctuate 59-66
11929 fluctuate 59-66
11960 no signal
12146 66
Made no difference when peaked on 11842.

Tested again, able to receive signal. LNB was off by one milimeter

Sorry to mess you up. I am Moses Primo from 3ABN but I am not from MN. I work and live in Illinois. 3ABN has 127 TV stations around the country that we have to move dishes from AMC-4 to G-19 and that is what we are doing now. Thank you for your help in taking time to make the measurements and give your report about G-19 reception. Thanks

Welcome Moses, and thanks for the interview with Brian from Glorystar which we used on the SatelliteGuys Radio Show.

Hello Moses and welcome, no need for apology, you have not messed up anything to my knowledge. I figured that's what you were doing and already knew you are from Illinois. Be sure to give our regard to all of the staff at 3ABN!
