Strong Transponders

[shanklej]

Where can I find a list of strong transponders for C and KU from 55.5w to 121.1w?
If you don't know what transponder to use in searching for a satellite you can search
to doomsday and not find it. As an example I can find Intelsat21 using 4040H
16590. Don't think it has any KU transponders.
Also I guess you much use a different # for the Titanium ASC1 for the same satellite
that has C band and a KU band.

shanklej,

I have good luck using a site called Sathint. Great satellite listings and seems more updated than Lyngsat.

I though there was a list of those on here, but, I guess that got gone in the software swap.

There is still an old listing here http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/satellites-positions-strong-transponders.332738/ but hasn't been updated in quite a while.

"The List" becomes "Why Go There" when it is outdated and irrelevant.

Thank you for responding gpflepsen.
Yes I know about the List. There is no indication of what is a strong transponder
on it that I can see.
Is the dark blue a strong transponder and the light blue not strong??????

then look at

http://www.sathint.com/america

Find all the common channels people talk about.

I find a few factors affect something that is strong.

Good luck hunting and learning!

Sathint is what I use, but I don't think any of the sites really list which transponders are strong and weak.

Probably you could just ask here what transponders on different SATs are strong, I'm sure some people here will help you out.

You can also check Mike Kohl's list at Global Communications, he has lists of Ku and C band TP's that are updated periodically.
