I rescanned 97W on my wifes dish and got all the ABC feeds at 14 dB. Hers is a 12 footer also. Apparently, the 12 footer that I use is way out of alignment.

I just tried a rescan of 97W and now the ABC feeds are gone. They must be having problems?

The ABC feeds are back on 97W but I can't seem to lock them. The osmio is suppose to receive H.265 does it not?

I just re-scanned 97W C-band and the ABC stations are gone. TVROSAT and Lyngesat doesn't show them. The 99W feeds are still present.

When does that go into effect? I'm still picking up the feeds on 99W C-band with no problem. I'm getting 13.42 dB C/N on my osmio on a 12 footer (which needs to be repeaked when I stop being lazy).

After you do that and get the satellite positions programmed in, you can then do a blind scan on each satellite.

101W C-band was working just fine 30 minutes ago.

I wish I was 29 again.

I've seen a few of them around. I don't know what they're used for.

I still have my 922 and HDTV side car for it. I spent $1000 for the 922 when it came out. I had a VCRS module also. Too bad we'll never use this tech again.

I can't remember ever having trouble with lightning except at work. Maybe you need spare parts for your body. It sure sucks to get old huh? 71 here. With all the advances made in medical science one would expect to live to 140. Oh well.

Still not a great deal of activity on our repeaters. We have a lot of them including DMR but good luck finding someone to talk to. About the only time you hear anyone is on nets. That said, the local high school runs a ham class in the last quarter of the school year. They had a class last year...

I upgraded to the latest Titanium LNBF that is the 5G RED filter. I hear that he's coming up with another LNBF that tightens the bandwidth even further but I don't know how much that will help.

I still have two 12 footers and I use them on a regular basis. I don't know if I'll spend the bucks to repair or replace anything in the future. The biggest problem that I've had recently is getting replacement mesh for the antennas. Either the dish maker went out of business (KTI, Paraclipse...

105W would do. It's close enough to your latitude to be used for "true" south. As I recall, true south is fine tuned by moving the dish to the edge of the visible arc and move the dish dish east or west to peak up on the signal. I think tvrosat.com has alignment instructions.

TEK2000 website is still up and looks open for business.

I believe there are factory built tools like that already...

A rep for truCable says their connectors will work for any RG-6 without doing anything to the shield or braid. So, I ordered a package of 10 to see if they'll work out like he said.

Yes.

The connectors are Ideal part#92-651 if you're interested. Too bad there aren't any local electronics stores around anymore. But I shouldn't have to guess as to what works. These connectors don't work on standard RG-6, also, which is smaller diameter. I guess I'll just buy factory made cable and...

Universal connectors are suppose to fit RG-6/RG-6Q.

It's been awhile since I did this so I consulted 4 youtube videos and I still can't get a universal RG-6 compression connector to go on standard or quad shield RG-6 cable. the 1/4 inch length for the center conductor seems appropriate but the 1/4 inch cut back on the sheath seems inadequate. No...

I get enough entertainment from my BUD and OTA. But, the BUD has become very expensive. As long as my insurance pays for repair or replacement, I'll keep using the BUD. I do some streaming but not as much as I use to. Everything is getting pricey. 5G has become a problem despite what I have...

113W looks mostly fine where I'm at. But I think I'm having occassional issues on some transponders and suspect maybe 5G interference. I'll have to get out a spectrum analyzer to be sure and stop being lazy and get it done. I'm using non-filtered Titanium LNBFs.

It's been a while but I used solar noon to determine true south. Sunrise Time, Sunset Time Today
