Yes. With a Bullseye feed I see it at 12027.925.

Are you using an SDR or something else to tune it?

 

[lost_mesa]

Yes, a SDRplay RSPdx-R2.

This screen shot was taken using another LNBF, so freq is a bit off.

Well, guess what?! I finally got the WPR Main on 12.028 GHz.

The satellite quality is 70% but it took about little over a minute to lock it in.


Here's the picture link below...

And yes the audio sounds got decoded!

Now I noted my Gt Media won't go below 300 KBs for trying to get Las Vegas station.

Is there a way to get around this or just go to SDR route?

Correct, the V9 Prime can't tune SR below 300.

I discovered this too. But it does lock the WPR mux. Its content is quite agreeable.

WPR is pretty nice. I have 2 Bullseye LNBs on order (Christmas money!). Hopefully I'll get an even more stable lock than the Maverick LNB I'm using (which is quite good already, occasional dropouts only).

Just FYI, the Octagon SF8008 v3 Supreme (from Rick's) can tune low symbol rates. With the dual tuners, I would say this receiver is a formidable competitor in the FTA market. Running KU on one tuner and C-band on the other. Current image (four slots) is TNAP 6.1. Credit and thanks to El Bandido for his help in getting this working.

T2MI vs NON-T2MI drivers

Maybe a decent receiver will show up one day I'm not sure if it's kosher to discuss GTMedia receivers here, but I bought a V9 Prime about a year ago after a member at SatelliteGuys posted that he was tuning WPR with it. The unit is incredibly reliable when it comes to tuning low symbol rates...

Does it do 4:2:2? And what C band LNB are you using for low SRs? I use the Titanium Blue LNB (5G filtered) and was unable to lock any on my 10 footer with the V9.

It can stream 4:2:2 to PC. For C-band we are using the Titanium C140.

Sorta side question, is it the TNAP 6.1 that allows low SRs or the hardware? I've seen the non-supreme version "around"

I asked the question in the thread over on LegitFTA, but haven't received a response yet.
