It`s been 2 years since my friend Peon tried reception in the extended C band 4.5-4.8 GHz. Unfortunately he wasn`t lucky that time. After so many months he decided to give it a try today again and here come the results:

Arabsat 5A @ 30.5�E (locked on the following frequencies):
4556 RHCP, SR 1000,FEC 1/4, QPSK
4672 RHCP, SR 12000, FEC 3/4, 8PSK
4714 RHCP, SR 4860, FEC 5/6, QPSK
4720 RHCP, SR 4860, FEC 5/6, QPSK

There is data transmission on all transponders.

Unfortunately, Peon's 2.5m PF dish doesn't seem to be big enough at the ocazie to get Insat beam, as ca. a 2.7m dish is needed to get at least 1 transponder locked. The good news is that there is a 3.7m dish ready to be installed later this year in Peon's garden, so hopefully this will help to get more transponders from Insat 3C.

SES 6 @ 40.5W

4641 L - ca. 2dB under the lock threshold (possible reception with 3m+ dish)

Peon used his Norsat 8115IF LNB to get the results above even his 2.5m dish is not big enough for the second frequency. Well, the time to set up his 3.7m PF dish is coming...

Anyway, the Norsat 8115 IF is not the only one lnb that we currently have for this band. There are also 3 pieces of RSC 2245-IND lnbs that will be later use for some tests.

What`s more, I`d like to point out to one very interesting lnb. Superior Satellite from Montana, USA sells their 8000RI DRO LNB that covers 3.625-4.8 GHz band. LO stability at 5.75 Ghz is �500 kHz and noise temperature 20K (identical to Norsat 8520). The price is unknown to me yet as Peon has his 8115 IF lnb that is probably the best lnb on the market for a reasonable price. Of course there would be some interest, but even if the LNB is very impressive, it can not receive full C band. It would be impossible to get frequencies as low as 3.4 GHz because every receiver has tuner that works to 2150 Mhz only.

5750-3400=2350 MHz

Things are getting better in this band and there are new active transponders on SES 6 @ 40.5W again. The content is more than interesting as there are also UHD channelssuch as NASA UHD available.

Note: NASA UHD picture will be posted later as Peon`s trying to figure out how to show the full picture as VLC makes little troubles with this station.

@marluck
vad ca esti din bucuresti ,ai idee daca a reusit cineva in zona asta sa receptioneze 40W?
