129 has dropped!!!!

[Laddyboy]

What is DHPP? Which transponder should I have selected when I position the dish for 129?

One of the ConUS transponders T17 through T32. T21 and T32 are the hottest transponders for me (i.e., most signal strength).

Thanks to all but this was the solution........I climbed up a borrowed ladder (good 25 to 30 feet high), switched on the outside speakers to hear the tone and started to untighten the two screws holding the dish pointed. I moved the dish about 3-5 degrees to the east and went from low tone (4-5 signal strength) to a MASSIVE 70+ high tone on the 129!!!!!!!!! Not only that...I am getting 70+ on the other two birds as well (up from 35ish on both)!!!!

Thanks for all the input on this :up

Sounds like you could have had the dish a lot lower unless there were a building obstructing your LOS because those are great signals and being higher do not make them better compared to 20000 miles. Higher does let you see over local things.

I had it mounted high because i once was using the multi-directional clip on antenna for locals.......Might lower it later on if this happens again.

Later
