Now thats an EBNO

[tvropro]

I was looking at EBNO's after my alignment and I see I'm topped back out again. I noticed lately I was getting 13.0 where I was getting 15.0 before. Im so glad to see this again.

 

[eurosport]

I've never had it higher than 10 or so, but all my DCII stuff uses the 7.5 foot dish, so I guess it's OK.
Most impressive with that 15.0 though! :up

 

[Mr Tony]

you suck

Wish I could see those numbers. I use to on X4 KU when Hits was there

And that's in 90 degree temperatures on a 1989 vintage Cal Amp 40 degree commercial grade LNB. I should have known something was up when I've been showing 13.0 lately. !sadroll

It was 104 here today! :devil: I'm surprised none of my stuff outside melted yet
...or burst into FLAMES!

104 that's too hot. :yikes Hell 90 is getting up there by me were suppose to get into the 90's the next few days then get back into the upper 80's by Friday. I have to spend an afternoon (shooting for Friday) on a roof this week working on the guys MATV system that I put the W5 dish up for. Been waiting for parts, there's a shortage on OTA outside antenna's right now. I guess the digital transition has been making companies like Winegard some good bucks.

 

[Mr Tony]

90+ here today and I have a couple projects outside to do...I'm waiting

If I need to get to the roof, the hose is coming with to cool it down

 

[Techfizzle]

i can peak 14.0+ of course my lnbf is not skewed properly

 

[dunnsept]

gonna try for those numbers when I figure out what to use on the dish, either repaired corotor or geosatpro lnbf. . W5 was always my strongest.. 99Q and between 10 and 11 ebno.

measured my dish last night, calc'd f/d as .42, feed was at 36.. always has been.. ever since whoever installed it.. I just left it alone.. can't wait to see what happens when it's setup properly

I can only claim +13.8 with the 8.5 footer and a BSC-621 on W5

i can get 14.0+ on w5, sometimes 15.0+

but tvropro can get 15 on most, yet he has a 12 footer and i have a 10 foot channel master HIGH PERFORMANCE satellite antenna, that i belive will outdo a birdview or a 10 foot winegard

here is iceberg's guidlines


The higher the ebno, the less amount of rain fade you have. In most cases these are the "guidelines"
+3.5 to have a signal
+3.5 to +5.0 to keep a stable picture...rain fade very possible
+5.0 to +6.0 nice solid picture but rain fade is possible
+6.0 to +8.0 strong signal
+8.0 to +10.0 really strong picture
+10.0 and above....highly unlikely the signal would ever go out

so what is the highest ebno can you get possible?

15.0

Attached are the specs on my dish.

Bigger is always better.

Hey Fizzle post a picture of your EBNO....

I'm STILL waiting for that picture!

that is mainly for KU (Shaw Direct). For C_Band that point is moot as C-Band has very little rainfade

BTW Ice we have had some good rains since I put up the 6 foot for the client. I asked him how it does in the rain the other day. He said no problems

Maybe his camera broke

sweet. Send some rain this way

 

[Techfizzle]

here ya go

15.0+ on w5 attached picture

GB=14.0+
T4=12.0+
w3=8.0+ (weak sat?)
T6=12.0+
G3=10.8+
W4=12.0+


15.0+ is as good as it gets, right?

 

[Mr Tony]

+15.0 is the max

 

[tvropro]

Fizzle did his on a DMX music channel, lets see it on a video channel that uses some bandwidth. Mine is from ABC Family on G5 using the generic map (just where I was at) vs channel 600.
