Blindscan question

[mrweather]

When scanning the linear birds what is the accepted frequency range?

I know DBS satellites use 12.2-12.75 GHz. In general, is there anything above 12.2 GHz on FSS birds?

The reason I ask is I've had interference issues before while blindscanning a linear satellite that's adjacent to a DBS one (for example, AMC 9 which is only a degree off from Nimiq 2).

KU Band is 11.7-12.2 HGZ

LOw Band (PAS9) is 10.7-11.7

Galaxy 11 may have a low band in its future, according to Panamsat's website and lyngsat but I've yet to see anything there.

Edit: Delving deeper it seems this may actually be something from the past and is no longer applicable to this satellite.

Lygnsat lists a few TPs on G11 for low band. Never tried and lygnsat isn't always up to date.

We used to have 10.7 to 11.7 GHz for U.S.A. in the past, but sadly it's been reallocated to other use.

The decision was made by the FCC and posibliy by the ITU " U.N. radio reg, kinda like the FCC"

Thanks guys for the input. It'll make my life easier when I scan the satellites.
