    Radio Neighborhood Moving

    Looks like the radio neighborhood is moving in 2017 as AMC-8 reaches the end of its life. All radio customers are moving to AMC-18 / SES-11. http://www.amc8migration.com

    DIRECTV Down?

    Same here in North Texas, their phone lines were busy but are now dead. Edit: Even the sales line is out.

    Hauled this in over the weekend

    It does have an extremely satisfying grumble. You described my powertrain perfectly, I'm a sucker for keeping things stock so its got the 350 with the Q-Jet. The motor itself is actually aftermarket, the original motor was a 305 with that junky Electronic Spark Control. The previous (original)...

    New S. NM Radio station

    910 was playing oldies last time I drove through back in 2010. RD is coming back but will be largely FM HD-2, RD never made any money and likely Kids Nation won't either. (Anyone remember Radio AAHS? I have the callsign that went on their Dallas affiliate building) Looking at nielson KWML is...

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    I'll snap a few when I get back to the house this afternoon.

    New S. NM Radio station

    Can you tell if they are rolling their own format or grabbing it off the bird? Seems a ton of these AM stations that gained FM translators have gone the music route. Awesome in a way to see music kind of return to AM.

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    They are separate line items, I left it in the "On" setting. Thats what I fugured "strength" meant as I've seen others mention it that way. Turning the LNB power to "off" changes nothing, however disconnecting the coax does result in all 0's. (Well 12% strength actually, what a near useless...

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    Ku LNBF: GEOSATpro SL1PLL LO: 10750MHz Zip: 75418 Signal Quality: 0% LNBF is powered on per the "Strength" Reading. Reciever settings match the current LNB. Reciever is X2 M1HD. Power setting is "ON" which I take to be automatic as 13/18V and OFF are the only other options. Thanks so much for...

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    J is now at the bottom and I flipped the bracket as suggested. I suppose at this point we'll take it from the top, I cannot get 99W or 97W on ku.

    Bring back AM stereo CQUAM

    I have a C-Quam exciter and one AM Stereo tuner left in my possession. Technically speaking AM Stereo is superior to FM multiplex stereo in nearly every way, mainly due to the fact FM stereo tech is well over 60 years old with AM Stereo tech only about 30 years old since the last improvements...

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    Thank you for your help! I'll try swapping the mount back over to A and go from there, great tip for the pole! I think if I just raised the dish slightly on the mount I should be good to go, think I could temporarily get away with bumping the dish up on the clamp and just using the bottom two...

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    Good to know! I'll keep trying at it. A sat guy I talked to did say G19 was just about straight up. (Which is good since now I know I'm adjusting elevation correctly, plus using the "A" scale the feedhorn arm kept hitting the roof mount post.) One a side note, I have been impressed so far with...

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    Ultimately the Geosat will be fixed to Galaxy 19, with the BUD aiming at AMC-8.

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    The Bolt was installed through B since the satellites I need to hit are above 50. (Aside from AMC-8 which is at about 30 degrees for my location) Admittedly I had a somewhat hard time following the Geosat instructions beyond initial assembly. Using the "B" side of elevation shoots the dish...

    C Band LNB Placement on 90cm

    Almost sounds like the C-Band LNBF needs to be as far back as possible (If I'm picturing the LNBF correctly). I have a dedicated XDS sat receiver that should help things a bit, talking to cumulus they said Radio Disney tried to use the 90cm dishes with what they called disastrous results. (In...
