Here are some observations I've made of SES-1 @101.0W over the past several days.
My main C-band setup:
8 ft. steel dish (9-section dish from Sadoun)
Chaparral Dual C-Band Feed # 11-1329-1
Chaparral 20K #11-7250-1 C-Band LNB’s feeding a powered WNC SWA-48 switch modified to provide 18V to both polarities.
Date/Time, TP, SatHero SH-200 C/N
06/03 15:00 3724 V 10000 9.60
3953 V 2734 14.55
3957 V 2734 15.60
3961 V 2734 15.75
3973 V 5924 13.05
06/05 21:45 3724 V 10000 8.70
3953 V 2734 14.40
3957 V 2734 15.60
3961 V 2734 15.30
3973 V 5924 13.05
06/06 14:55 3724 V 10000 8.85
3953 V 2734 13.95
3957 V 2734 15.60
3961 V 2734 15.45
3973 V 5924 13.05
These readings are very stable on the SH-200 with almost no fluctuation after they settle down.
The Amiko A3 and A3 Combo lock and play all the channels but the “problem” TP’s (3953, 3957, and 3961) exhibit some
breakup then signal loss. After a second or two the channel locks again and the cycle repeats. The quality displayed by the receivers is stable, in the 70's on the original A3 and in the 80's on the Combo, only changing by a couple of points when the channels are lost and then returning to the previous values.
The Amiko Nano HD plays MeTV and MeTV HD without problem but doesn’t even scan in any channels on the 3953, 3957, or 3961 TPs. The quality displayed by the Nano continually flashes from about 75 to 0 to 75.
Just thought I'd share this information.
