G10 RTN Signal Survey

[tvropro]

Those of you who use an offset dish for G10 ku. I want to do a survey for 11720 Vert. Just curious how the crosspolar from 121 effects different parts of the country. So please post your quality level, receiver type, dish size & type, lnbf, and location. Thanks

Edited to add 11799 and 11720 before.

Here's my info:

11720:
Quality - 60 peak was 75 before.

11799:
Quality - 78 peak

I don't think the readings will tell you much because almost every receiver gives a different level, there doesn't seem to be any standard.

I don't think the readings will tell you much because almost every receiver gives a different level, there doesn't seem to be any standard.

I was thinking that it might be worth adding another transponder or two into the readings so that even though the individual number on each receiver doesn't mean much, comparing numbers from the same receiver on different transponders might be helpful.

11720 - 45 (down from 60, though I have noticed in the past few days that sometimes it does get back to it)

11799 - 74

Usinig my motorized Primestar 84e with OEM split .7db LNBF with Fortec 5400IR receiver.

I think they were a little higher before.

Interesting results so far. Seems that the crosspolar is a problem everywhere. I think we should write down our current numbers and see what happens when G-18 gets up and running. It's suppose to launch March 8th. I would think there has to be an improvement.

How long after launch will this satellite be in place? I don't have a motor (yet) and this is the best I have had it positioned...if it'll be in place in a few weeks, I'll probably not move my dish until after so I can compare "before & after".

I'd be telling a lie if I said I knew. I think they co locate the bird and do testing before they make the swap. Maybe someone else can chime in and give us more info.

I am maxing out at 73% on the BUD. That is about normal for me.

It does seem that the audio is weaker. On the Panasonic 42 HD it used to be good set around 10 to 12. Now I have to have it in the low 20s to hear it.

Doesn't seem to be affecting any channels I find on G10 so far.

It usually takes 30 to 60 days after launch for a satellite to begin regular service. I don't think Galaxy 18 will be launched in March. Sea Launch is behind schedule due to a launch failure last year. Next up is Directv 11 on March 9th. I'm not sure if Galaxy 18 is next in line or if there are other satellites scheduled before it.

The Dish Network signal at 11724 V 20000 is no longer on Echostar 9. The only signal now on Transponder 1 is at 11732 V 3976. I'm not sure how much this would affect the RTN signal on Galaxy 10R.

Interesting... Something happened that's causing a reduction in 11720. 11732 really shouldn't be an issue. Maybe Equity's uplink has the issue, running a reduced tx power level, or that transponder on G-10 has seen better days. Wonder what current EIRP levels are on that transponder?
