AMG C-Band

[RnR]

Did we lose AMG off of C-Band?

I'm presently not seeing them in their prior slot on G19 (3771 Vert).

I blind scanned this morning and the Coolsat 5000 found AMG on 3992H, seems they've moved. Big signal on the Coolsat.

same symbol rate of 9983?

I was wondering where they had gone

 

[Mr Tony]

Same symbol rate. Hope they are not going to hop this all over the sky, I like it and would rather not have to search every time.

Well - I'm happy to learn they are on the same bird, but wish they were still on the V side of things.

Thanks for the discovery!

I believe I also saw them on Galaxy 19 Ku as well in one of the globecast or PIT or RRSAT muxes (just the entertainment channel, not along with the syndication feed in a two-channel mux like on c-band)

 

[Mr Tony]

they use to be on 12177 TP on G25 (at the time) a while back but moved to C-band a good 6 months or longer ago

Hope they stay here for a while. The meter is pinned on the Coolsat, I don't get any stronger signals anywhere in the arc.

I'm gonna work on it this weekend. When first reported I could barely get a blip but it was very cold out so I didnt try hard

Got it on CBand... I waited for the temps here in Michigan to take a break and sneak above freezing. My polarotor (sp?) apparently still works as I have 'em now!

I hadn't changed polarity on my Paraclipse in a LONG time - that system will be celebrating 20 years in the field this October without an electronics failure (other than a battery and fan in the Sierra III rx). My Norsats and Chaparal dish gear have been TOP NOTCH performers over the years.

Whew!
