99w c band?

[SatelliteAV]

99w and 97, 95, 101 and 103..... Yep, an undersized dish will illuminate a Feedhorn with many satellite signals. This raises the noise level and lowers the C/N, typically resulting in more errors in the desired signal.

Added to the lower amount of reflected signals from a micro/mini dish, this is another reason why signal reception is so unreliable and unpredictable between locations, hardware and conditions.

101, 95, 103w I cannot get with my microbud but its always fun to work with especially iin a small spot.

I've played with a Primestar 1m microbud (before I was given the 1.2m Prodelin) with a SatAv C2 lnbf, but gave up on it quickly after a few days. I did notice that it was very critical of placement for the conical scalar. Moving a hair one way or the other meant total signal or NO signal. It was amazing that you could get a locked and watchable signal with the MicroHD with only a couple percent quality.

Fridgefta site has a nice forum dedicated to "c-band on the little dish"

what was funny on the calf amp model it has a little notch on it at the top to tell where to put the scalier.

I also lost PRN, I used to have it till more or less three weeks ago. Now is gone. Singal is down to zero, not even a residual.
Dish Fortec 1.8 mts, LNB NS 741.

I also lost PRN

There is no signal there now. 3825 H @ 99W

It's coming in fine in the SF Bay Area on a 7.5=ft dish.

Puerto Rico Network is gone for more than a month ago

 

[kodaz]

are you folks with the minibuds getting tp 3848 H 15030?
u guys got me thinking to get mine out and dust it off .

 

[Martyn]

Oh, sorry. I thought we were still talking about the Puerto Rico mux, not the Puerto Rico Network ...

Yes, I get that on my 1.2M dish most of the time. Right now I'm getting 90% signal and 70% quality. It's pretty steady but marginal if local atmospheric conditions are poor.

I'll take "using an undersized dish" for $200 Alex

Sean Connery: Well, well, well, Trebek, fancy seeing you again. It's been a while.

Trebek: Not long enough

Connery: It's not what your mother said last night!
