I received a beacon on the 20705. Can someone check that with KA-Band equipment?

Thank you

I do believe this is it - i'm on a modified Hughes lnb on the lnb changer at the moment but tomorrow i'll change it to a propper Band C lnb and re-check

Ich glaube, das ist es - ich bin im Moment auf einem modifizierten Hughes lnb auf dem lnb-Wechsler, aber morgen werde ich es auf ein korrektes Band C lnb umstellen und [ATTACH = full] 133291 [/ ATTACH] erneut überprüfen.

danke für den test

Here's the results using a Ka Norsat Band C lnb in Horizontal linear.
The Promax also shows 20.706 next to it.
** I changed the lnb to Vert pol linear which gave the same dB readings so it looks like it's a Circ pol signal. Unfortunately i do not have a circ poloriser on this lnb unit.

It is LHCP ! I have a polarizer.

Thanks for that

.. Still coming in strong here today in North Nottinghamshire UK with the Norsat Band C lnb & 1.2 Gibby dish. Vertical beacon at 20199.5 showing good strength.
Iv'e not observed any other activity in the last couple of days.

The carrier at 20706 is now RHCP and and a second is near 20230 R

I have carriers on 20709.106 and 20706.497 RHCP (2.609MHz spacing) and the beacon on 20199.5V (but received on RHCP). I can not see anything around 20230R. @John I can't see the 2 low level signals to the left of the main pair (20709), even in narrow bandwidth.
Gilat 8002, 18750MHz LO (GPSDO locked), unmodified RF, 1.2m dish

my scan is in RHCP (Inverto LNB is reverse) 2,20m dish

Only just got back in from this Christmas shopping malarky - will have a look asap

Still can't see anything around 20230 but found another carrier on 20771.599R. It's a bit weaker than the beacon on 20199.5V.

Can't see anything at all due to heavy rain fall - Ka has just dissapeared into the noise

hello,

here is a reception in Band B LHCP. I think the frequencies are a fake lock.

best regards

My first scan just now showed two frequencies locked at the same time on the one scan - the locking frequencies now seem to be one at a time at different frequencies.

 

[John]

... and now 10 minutes or so later - two different frequencies together on the same scan

... another scan at 12.25pm - another freq

I've seen the SR 2036 a few times at different frequencies.
