Amiko A3 and 16APSK/32APSK

[T134]

DISCLAIMER: FRIDGEFTA/AMIKO AMERICAS DOES NOT SPECIFY 16/32APSK FOR AMIKO A3 UNTIL SOMEONE IN NORTH AMERICA CAN VERIFY IT WORKS.

Today I happened to notice in AMIKO EUROPE specifications that 16/32APSK is listed. I've got no way to test either of these as I don't think anything comes down using these modulations on Ku or the limited C-band I can get here.

Can anyone list some regular feeds and locations for 16/32?

Can anyone with an Amiko A3 in North America test and verify?

I think there's a thread for it at Rick's board, but yeah, you're going to need a bigger dish...

I have not been able to get any picture or sound from those channels listed "over there". I can lock some with my tbs6925 pc tuner but they do not have a dvb program on them.

I have access to an DVB-S2 encoder right now and can confirm the Amiko A3 does do DVB-S2 (16APSK all FECs), SD HD MPEG2 H.264 video confirmed. It currently will not lock DVB-S2 (32APSK) transponders.

Also interesting lowest SR it can lock is 1.000 MSPS for both DVB-S and DVB-S2 (X-PSK).

Highest SR it can lock for DVB-S2 is 45 MSPS.
