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

    Yes, a SDRplay RSPdx-R2.

    Yes. With a Bullseye feed I see it at 12027.925. Doubt it will go away anytime soon. It's feeding about 14 stations and translators across rural Nevada and beyond. Some of the stations on 99w are feeding over twice that amount. Often on rural mountain tops that probably don't have fiber.

    Yes, Nevada Public Radio is KNPR Las Vegas Thanks for checking. Too bad the Rx doesn't lock it. I've been looking at getting one because of the low SR ability, but didn't want to spend the bucks without being certain.

    How about KNPR 99w Ku 12027.5 V 185?

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    In New Mexico there are plenty of areas away from major roads that have zero cell phone coverage because of the mountains. Our previous home had a weak 4G signal from a Verizon tower 15 miles away. Zero signal from any other provider.

    Fear of Poles

    Our old place was a constant parade of wildlife going past the living room window. These guys really encouraged me to fully automate the tuning on all my ham antennas. Didn't want to be outside tweaking something at 2 a.m. No wildlife at our new place, but no C-Band dish either.😢

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    Is there any 4:2:2 video on the Ku band?

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    It took about 3 attempts, but I was able to get WPR on a blind scan. Very cool.

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    OK, I was able to add the music channels using the AliEditor. Thanks for everyone's help.

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    Ok, not being on the channel I want to edit worked. Makes sense maybe. Prevents the pids from being overwritten.

    Thanks for all the info. I'll give it a try

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    I tried it on WRAL. As soon as I hit save, I can see the pids on the right hand side of the screen change for a fraction of a second, but they immediately return to the original values. Like they are being overwritten by something. Not sure what software version I have. Where do I find that?

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    From the orange channel functions, there is a PID editor using the remote. But I can't get the new PIDs to stick after doing a save. They always return to the original numbers. It's either non-functional, or there is some trick that I haven't figured out

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    Does the V9 have the ability to edit/add PIDS? Either with the remote or with an editor? I haven't been able to find that option on mine.

    Eutelsat 65W - C band range (4.5GHz - 4.8GHz)

    No 5G, hardly have any 4G signal. There was a strong terrestrial microwave signal at 4.5 GHz. But it wasn't strong enough to overload the LNBF. At some point it was shut down.

    Eutelsat 65W - C band range (4.5GHz - 4.8GHz)

    Don't know about that one, but the one I have works from 3.6 to 4.8 GHz. So I doubt mine would work in a 5G environment. It is 10 years old, so maybe they have improved.

    Eutelsat 65W - C band range (4.5GHz - 4.8GHz)

    This was discussed about 10 years ago. I have an LNB for that frequency range and have received Eutelsat 65, SES 6 and a few others. Unfortunately I had to move and no longer have a C Band dish set up...

    KKAB-DT is now on the air in metro Albuquerque!!

    OK, getting KKAB now. I had forgotten that a 7 element yagi that I bought few years ago for the 222 MHz ham band was really a ch 7 to 13 tv antenna. Dug it out of storage today and getting an ok signal just holding the yagi at ground level.

    No, I don't get a hint of any signal on R.F. 14

    KKAB-DT is now on the air in metro Albuquerque!!

    I have a CM7777 preamp but haven't tried it. If I was going to do something I'd build a 3 element yagi for the roof first. Top priority is getting my 90 cm dish set up. Don't want to get distracted by OTA stuff.

    KKAB-DT is now on the air in metro Albuquerque!!

    I scan in about 85 channels on the indoor antenna. KKAB has a directional antenna pointed away from Santa Fe.

    KKAB-DT is now on the air in metro Albuquerque!!

    Only getting a hint of a signal from KKAB here in Santa Fe. Not enough to lock. Using rabbit ears inside the house. Would probably work with a decent roof top antenna.

    USALS Motors: The Device from Hell

    I feel your pain. I had a different brand of motor that keep running away into one limit or the other. I ended up mounting my 1.2m Ku dish on an old C Band mount and actuator. It worked flawlessly for years.
