Anyone know what is considered good signal strentgh? What are the limits when the signal is considered poor?
Which TPs are you concerned about? I can compare them with mine for a reference if you want.
I'm not necessarily concerned, just want to make sure i'm getting good signal before it's too late get them to repoint. Most singals are in the 90s some 80s... a few in the upper 70s.
Sounds pretty good, though I don't think I have any 70s. The guy who realigned mine in January did a GREAT job.I'm not necessarily concerned, just want to make sure i'm getting good signal before it's too late get them to repoint. Most singals are in the 90s some 80s... a few in the upper 70s.
Would the PQ improve?
Your 103c readings are very low. Were these taken in good weather? In good weather mine are all in the 90s. Granted I'm near Buffalo, but for national TPs we should be very close.Can anyone in the SF Bay Area give me some numbers to compare with? Not sure if my readings are worth improving although I do get the checking for signal message on certain channels : This is with a Slimline 5LNB
101 - TP's 1-8 (91,95,90,98,88,98,91,97)
9-16 (91,95,91,97,92,98,91,98)
17-24 (91,63,91,100,91,98,90,98)
25-32 (89,0,91,68,92,98,88,98)
103 - TP's 1-8 (All NA)
9-16 (All NA)
17-24 (All NA)
25-32 (All NA)
103C - TP's 1-8 (81,73,78,72,79,73,77,73)
9-16 (77,73,79,74,79,76,NA,NA)
17-24 (70,NA,NA,NA,NA,76,NA,NA)
25-32 (All NA)
Once D11 is at 99, there will be 2 at 99 (99c and 99s), 2 at 103 (103c and 103s) and I believe there's 2 at 101 (though only 1 sat at 101 shows up in the signal strength). You should be able to get very strong signals from all those slots (though many on 99s and 103s will be low or 0 since they are spot beam). There's also the 110 and 119 slot which are further out to the side, but I still get 90s and 100s on them too. I think it all depends on how good/patient the technician is.Thanks for the info guys. I will wait for 99 to get lit then make the call. Question so are they all in the same general area or will some sats be much stronger than others when we do the signal test?
