5G Interference on all Transponders

It's a grading system for the cosmetic state of used items. Grade C is the lowest grade for items that show heavy signs of use. Here is a guide: What Are Refurbished Grades A, B, and C? | RefurbMe Blog

Yes, I actually got the grade D one for $50. I believe they are now sold out. I'll spray some white paint on it if it works.

The Performance Plus LNBF is still working well for everything 4.0ghz and up. I'm just bummed that I am having issues with the FTA Weather Channel on 127w. But I did try something that does help a little. Much less errors with my Faraday LNB Cover.

That's pretty cool! Might work even better, IF you can ground that added foil with a wire going to a ground rod.

Is that ordinary aluminum foil? I think I still have the LNB covers but I don't normally use them.

I used regular foil and then some spare reflectix bubble wrap.

Hey, it's cheap to try. I still think it would work even better, IF the foil was also grounded.

Well, no luck at all with the ebay 5g red filter. It feels like it maybe worth 3 or 4 dollars at the scrap yard or i could use it as a door stop. What do you think?

I think you should try Titanium's suggestion from post #37

...
You might also check the 1170-1350 IF with the 3700-4200 LNBF. If seeing the same terrestrial signals in this portion of the band, they are within the bandpass and a physical barrier between the downlink and the source(s) might be the best solution. This portion of the N77 band might have testing, but not cleared for licensed terrestrial use until December, 2023.
...

Titanium's suggestion will test 3800 to 3980 MHz. If there is terrestrial interference in that frequency range then the only way to get the mux you want would be an RF fence.

I scanned 113w tonight and found a lot of channels in the 3800-3900mhz band to work perfectly. Absolutely no errors. But 3900 is pretty well completely gone. 3980 is watchable for some short periods but error correction eventually loses the battle. I thought it is interesting, but the channels left in the 3800 area are likely 95% Spanish

I'm hoping that they relocate their services above 4000 and increase their power level.

In that case I would strongly recommend that you to follow the advice from Titanium's post #37 and my post #48. The reason for your reception problem should become evident. There is nothing wrong with your C138s.

The Performance Plus C238 models,,,,just ordered one. Brian maybe will get it out tomorrow Want to see how it works ,,if better than reg Red C238 i have now. My corotor stopped picking up most everything before i got the c238 , so i know Brian does good work.

 

[flody1]

Got the C238 Perf Plus from Brian today. 127w 3980 Weather Ch 15db 98 Signal / 98 Quality on SmartDvb. Both are good , this is better . I'm sorry I didn't write down the numbers I had before.

 

[Captain Midnight]

I wish I had good news. I guess power up has happened again in my area. Everything is pretty well gone again, with the Perf Plus C238. It worked about 6 weeks. But I guess I'm out of luck now. Really need a blue model, Brian *wink, wink*

As previously suggested... Have you tested to see if the interference is inside or outside of the bandpass? *wink *wink

I don't currently have any test equipment. The sudden interference from Saturday night was over and gone on Sunday. Someone suggested it is possibly testing for the next power up of 5G. I was just a tad fed up and annoyed on Saturday evening. I had a great feed I missed. I'm sure it's inside the bandpass. C band finished repack on almost everything several months early.

I like your idea and would like to give this a try with my C-band dish. I wonder if there is a spray on product that would provide the same result as the aluminum foil?

I'm not sure. I don't quantitatively know how much the foil is helping to be honest. I'm just throwing ideas against the wall and seeing what sticks.
