Peak Signal Strength Transponder

[bsilvertab]

I am installing my first D* system tomorrow morning. What 101 transponder should I use to peak the signal? I did a test setup at my house tonight and was getting 89- tp2 92- tp3 ... consistantly the upper 80's lower 90's. What transponder should I use while peaking the dish?

Thanks,

generally a weak one. use an odd # transponder and you should avoid any high power spot beams.
