Home Transponders & Minimum & Average Thresholds

[120inna55]

...
61.5:
5 7 10 12

72.7:
12 16 17 21

77:
16 17 20 21

So, those are the EA Home Transponders. What are the WA Home Transponders?

Is there an updated Minimum & Average Thresholds file?

I'm going to troubleshoot a friend's WA DISH today and this information would be useful.

They are:
119
14, 15, 16, 21

110
14, 15, 16, 21

129
19, 20, 29, 30

Here, minimums for 119/110 basically all 60-64 except 119-14 which is 54. Minimum for 129 is 39.

A lot of receivers will probably not show you those transponder signals for 129, you would have to use sat meter. You can also check trans 21, try to get it between 48-55 for equivalent signal value for home trans.

Yep TP 21 on 129 is QPSK so it should pull in on the older receivers. Personally I'd aim for at least high 60s on 110/119 and at least 45 on most of the 129 TPs. TP 21 on 129 should be at least mid-high 60s.

So, what signal strengths should one expect on EA? (Again, this is why we need an updated thresholds list).

At least in my area no lower then mid 40s on 72 and 50s on most of the 61.5

Mid 40's and mid 50's should be expected on EA.

Readings

• Just checked my numbers. 129 - 41to 52, 110 46 to 53, 119 71 to 81. Which way should I adjust my dish to max these numbers?

Looks like your skew is off. Make sure your mast is plumb and check your skew.

EDIT: Also check for LOS.

Skew could go either way, no way of telling from here which way will balance 110/129
