AMC 21 PBS

[jge]

Hello Guys

I am looking for some advice.
I have been trying to get Amc 21 for the PBS
channels. I got it, then I lost it due to a windy day.
As far as I remember the quality was oscillating
between 45% and 80% before losing it. It was Ok.
I have not been able to do it again.
Too much time trying to tune my set up.
My setup includes a 1.2 meter ku band solid dish.
I have several Lnbs:
1) Avenger DMS International Digital Ku band single LNBF
2) Spitfire Elite DMS International Digital Universal Single LNBF
3) Titanium PLL-1KS Ku band LNBF
4) Digital C/Ku LNBF DMS International

I have several boxes:
1) AZbox Premium Hd
2) Openbox S9
3) (old) Viewsat Platinium Lite
4) (old) Viewsat MaxHD

I am located south the border (Tamaulipas Mexico)

Which LNB and Box are my best options here for the tuning job?

Thank you in advance for any advice that you guys may provide

P.S. I have had a hard time with this bird...
Would be that an effect of the signal being blocked by Mr. Trump wall? ...
just kidding ... no intention of being political here

I would check your connectors and coax. If wind knocked it out, should not be that far off.

A wall is better then the way mexico treats people that cross without papers.

Id agree that the dish shouldnt be too far off assuming it was fairly secure to begin with. First thing id check is if my pole was still plumb and then check my azimuth as from my recollection elevation shouldnt change easily on most 1.2m dishes unless it wasnt tightened down. Happens to my 1.2m all the time as i run it on a temporary pole and it moves around a lot.

The AZbox or Openbox,don't think the Viewsats can pick those up,and the Ti pll,make sure the LO is set for 10750.

Thank you very much for your answers.
I will be double checking the shape of the connector, coax,
the pole being plumb and my azimuth.

As waylew suggested I will be using the AZbox and the
Titanium PLL.
I am planning to get the following tp:
12180 V 30000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK AMC21

Regarding the AZbox settings
what would be the adequate value for the Pilot?

Thanks again for any reply that you might provide

Pilot = 0 on the AZBox.

Pilot = 0 on the AZBox.

Thank you very much Keith Brannen!
