For the 110,119 sats, we check signal strength on transponders 14,15,16 & 21. Which transponders do we look at on 129??
 
They req us to have min of 50 but try for 60 or better on the 129. I just found that out last week after getting to the meeting late. That's what happens when you gotta drive 130 miles for a meeting with bad weather the day before. But being new with all of the questions I've been asking, I decided to come to this forum to learn a little more so I don't seem like I ask too much or anything.
 
I just had to use 14,15,16 and 21 today on 129. Guess it's the same as the 110,119 sats. Funny thing....at this one site today, 129 on 14 had 27 signal, but 21 had 71 what a difference!
 
TP 14 on 129 would be a spot beam so its strength varies depending on where you are in or out of the spot. TP 17 and up are CONUS, IIRC.
