After purchasing a new FTA system consisting of a Traxis 3500,
Winegard 76cm dish,Sg 2100 motor, and an Extreme lnb, I have
spent a few weeks searching for satellites without the motor
untill I permanently install the dish . Well, after I found Galaxy 10R
I am considering purchasing a second dish so that I can leave one
aimed at G10R. Having said that, I need to know if the poor signal
quality on tp11720 can be overcome with the existing dish or if
a larger one is in order. Last night I peaked the dish to pick up
tp11720, and found that I lost several points of PQ on the other
tp's. I eventually ended up with PQ of around 68% on the strong
tp's and 50-55 % on the weaker one. When I turned the unit on
this afternoon I had PQ of 18% on the weaker one, the others
were the same as yesterday,but as I am typing this, the signal is
up to 33% PQ. How much does the time of day have to do with
this, or is this a moot point? My zip is 14823, oh and by the way,
I am very happy with the Traxis unit, very easy to operate and I
feel that it takes away much of the frustration a new to ku band
enthusiast could encounter.
