b|ind Scaning

[Space Signal]

whats your fav/best blindscaning you ever used?

 

[Mr Tony]

I assume you mean receiver?

I like the Coolsat 5000...fast scan and you can fine tune which frequencies to tune (a range)

 

[Space Signal]

yeah i meant receiver, cool i'll read your review on it again

I like the Satworks 3618, real user friendly . Of course, the only blind scan receivers I've had any experience with is the 3618 and the Satworks 3688. I did not care for the 3688 at all.

I concur with Iceberg. I purchased a Coolsat 5000, and his review pushed me in that decision. What a great investment. I enjoy scanning for feeds and it really does a good job. The blindscan feature is great and is much faster than on my Fortec Lifetime Ultra.

I also like the ability to do a manual scan because I can check transponders for a signal and find feeds very quickly. Instead of waiting for the scan of empty transponders I just check the ones with a signal and can do over 40 of them in about a minute (manually of course).

Now I just wish we could scan for certain SR... such as only scan for TP with 3979 or 4232.

 

[Mr Tony]

I agree Brandon...I wish you could do just symbol rates or a range

The Satworks lets you do that. Pick a start SR and an end but the speed is no where near as fast as the Coolsat

This is why I was asking about getting some bin writers to help us. If test bins can be written, cant true fta bins be written to improve functionability?

Traxis 3500 very fast and find most of the TP, very good PAL to NTSC, the best.

Satwork 3168 the same but have not a Sat list and DiSeqc 1.2
Pansat 5000HC very slow but the best in find TP, very good PAL to NTSC
Pansat 2700 very slow but the best in find TP, no good PAL to NTSC
Coship 3188 C good, PAL to NTSC no good.
Manhattan ST350 slow and mist to much TP, good PAL to NTSC.
Pansat 3500 slow and mist TP, no good PAL to NTSC.

From all the blind scan receivers that i have test i like the Traxis 3500 the best .

Good video and the best PAL to NTSC conversion for the PAL channels on the Atlantic birds.
