AMC 21

[Lak7]

127W TP 12.139 V S/R 30.001 @ 85% SL and 68% SQ
This won't scan any channel in for me.

Correct, it's a Data TP

125W TP 12.140 V S/R 4.340 @ 79% SL and 91% SQ

should be 12140 V 30000

My dislexic error on the 125W TP 12.1240... 30.000 is the S/R that goes with this TP. I had backtracked and was looking at 12.104 V which has S/R 4.340 MS/s. Oops!

With my CS 5K in manual scan mode I detect:

125W TP 12.140
Scans in two channels, but must be HD??? The video is unviewable, but the audio pops in occasionaly and it sounds like a childrens PBS cartoon or something.

correct. Both channels are HD on there

8pm and still getting LPBS Q68

12140 seems to be lower for me too (50 quality) versus 12180 (95+)

there is a 12140 V next door at 127W

On my 3ABN 90CM motorized, I get a signal that jumps from 45-55 on the Visionsat. It locks just fine, in fact I've been using the Visionsat to record HD shows. A two-degree compliant dish will probably improve this transponder (and others) considerably. I think my decision to devote my new 1M Channel Master to AMC-21 will prove to be a wise one.

My 1 meter gets between 75 and 82 on 12140 and 85 or so on 12180 on my VS. I agree, the larger dish will boost your numbers up.

AMC 21 Caribbean beam

From the SES Americom site:

"AMC-21 also features high-power coverage of the Gulf of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean."

Is there any television on the Caribbean beam?

 

[Mike045]

Is the 12140 V signal still there ? I get 12180 but nothing on 12140.

I do have a fresh Inch of Heavy, Wet Snow on the BUD
Trees look beautiful.......

 

[brentb636]

We have the same wet snow in Holland, just covering the ground, and sticking to tree branches. The big storm passes to our west and north ( hoping).

 

[Mike045]

Nice and strong here

On your 10' Startrak ?

[starman345]

On your 10' Startrak ?

Mike

yes, showing about 69% quality on the Coolsat 5000

 

[Mike045]

Thanks starman. Well, I guess it is because of the trees.

For your reference, the 12180 signal is 94% on the same receiver, so significantly stronger.

 

[Mike045]

I played with my BUD this afternoon, and the best that I could get is about 40% QL on 12180, and 20% on 12140. At least that's viewable.


Thanks starman for the infos.
