[SatelliteAV]

5:30pm EST 3/18/2010 - Request from Uplinker and IntelSat Engineering

We urgently need your testing assistance for a temporary transponder currently Testing until 12mid EST today 3/18/2010.

1. Please provide Signal Level and Signal Quality for these 4 transponders.
2. Indicate if you peak SQ for 11842, does the SQ drop on the other TPs?

• TP6 - Frequency: 11842 Polarity: Horizontal Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ
• TP11 - Frequency: 11929 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ
• TP13 - Frequency: 11960 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ

Coolsat 5000/Geosatpro 36" dish

11929-76
12146-75
11842-75
11960-75...actually bouncing between 72 & 75

no I did not peak on 11842. I am peaked on 11966 but even if I try on the 36" to peak on 11842 I dont gain anything quality wise and dont lose anything on the other...When one goes they all go

 

[Mr Tony]

The 30" has different results

11842-73
11929-75
11960-75/76
12146-75

I am peaked on 12115...If I peak the 30" to 11842 then I lose quality on a few transponders like 11966

Peaked on 11842:
TP6 - 11842 Polarity: Horizontal Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 84%
TP11 - 11929 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 86%
TP13 - 11960 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 76 to 78% touchy
TP25 - 12146 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 86%


Peaked on 11960:
TP6 - 11842 Polarity: Horizontal Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 84%
TP11 - 11929 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 84%
TP13 - 11960 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 82 to 84% touchy
TP25 - 12146 Polarity: Vertical Symbol Rate: 22000 -SL SQ = 85%

First peaked on 11842, I then had to jog the motor slightly EAST to fine tune 11960 which I found very touchy to peak. All of these TP's seem a bit touchy today as if the beam has been narrowed or more narrow than days ago.

I just tried peaking all frequencies requested on my unimesh 7.5 and i noticed as i nudged west i lost all signal on all fr's except 11842 .Mind you the sig dropped off quite a bit but hung there for , 4 more clicks ( west ) till it dropped on the GBOX.
