RTV on AMC9

[kingofku]

Has the little mux that could (RTV) on AMC 9 gone away?

 

[phlatwound]

No, it is still there, just checked it.

 

[KE4EST]

Yep it has not went anywhere.

Yup still there. I've been watching it and Pbj and Tuff tv for days.

Strange. I did another blind scan and it didn't show up. 11735H 4.444 SR right?

 

[KE4EST]

yep.....What receiver are you using? Try to put in in manually.

AMC 9 at 83.0°W - LyngSat

My 1.2m is fixed on AMC 9 - getting Newchannel 3F no problem. Manually entered parameters but nothing.

 

[phlatwound]

That doesn't make sense. It's coming in great on a 90cm Fortec here.

3F is a little stronger (71% Q) than RTV @ 63-67% .

Both blind scanned in no problem.

I'll have to put my spec an on it - antenna may need to be repeaked.

I get a lock with 4440, no lock with 4444.

I get a lock with 4440, no lock with 4444.

This is the SR I use in my sat truck on a 2.4m antenna and my IRD (an Ericsson RX-8200) seems to like it fine. I'm tending to think that the antenna got knocked a bit (it's on a non-pen mount) and may need to be repeaked.

Blind scans in at 11741 H 4439 for me.

 

[Mr Tony]

I've always seen it on 11735...symbol rate fluctuates between 4440 and 4444 depending on blind scan but its there

 

[Panavision]

Ice is right. I just remembered that the LNBF on my stationary AMC9 dish always reads a few MHz too high.

I finally locked RTV @11741 on the Micro HD. It did not blind scan in...maybe cuz 11735 was already in the TP list and the numbers are too close. Was sure perplexed for awhile as to why I could lock 72W and 87W but not 83W, so glad to see this post.
