Low Signal Strength on 123°W

G18 - 11800 weak?

As anyone else having issues on 11800 on G18? Everything else is working fine, but I'm getting really fluctuating signals on this transponder on a few recievers. I was thinking my dish may be a bit off, but the PBS stuff on G21 is coming in great too.

Just wanted to check with everyone else before I start trouble shooting further

Stable at 70% Q here...:up

11800 has been the weaker of the two main Equity transponders (11720 and 11800) as of late... Quality is up and down here in New Orleans...

I am also having trouble getting a lock on 11800 here in San Diego.

I am having the same issue here in San Jose, CA. Able to lock but not stable enough most of the time.

Thanks guys!

Same issue here near Montreal Canada.

11800 is weaker then it was on G-10 but I have no issues with It breaking up etc. Q peaking out at 60 on my Pansat.

Same problems here in Missouri, I can receive it OK, but signal is much weaker than it was months ago. I do have a smaller Primestar & DirecWay dish and the signal on that transponder is weaker than it was on the previous bird.

Do you have your receiver set up correctly for Linear Sats vs. Echostar's Circular 119 Sat?
Remember LNB L.O.=10750
Have you ever gotten 123?
