When I first put a 6' "portabud" together I tested it out on 87W since I had interest in many channels there and my primary receiver had about 67 S2 channels loaded. I'm running a Geosat C2 on it and it will tune the Nasa, This TV and ME TV easily but the RTV channels are prone to continuous pixelation and freezing with it. I find it more enjoyable with my 10' that is running a BSC621 for years now and find it parked on 87W most of the time.
