Radio Channel Question?

[iafirebuff]

I see that according to http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.html that I shold be getting more than 1 radio channel on G10? Do I have to manually input the info? Thanks for the help

I had to manually input those radio stations on my satworks 3618

OK, I will see if I can figure out how to add the info. I think I just go in and manually add the TP and the info. So once in, I should have a few more audios?

Those channels are on second audio of a few channels.

They’re all on the 11800 transpdoner…I think its
KTVC
KYPX
One other

Just select the channel and see if there is a 2nd language button. I’m not near my recever so I can’t check

OK, I will try that! I looked at the list and it shows 4 stations (audio) on 11799 V 1049. Will try it tonight.

Iceberg, now I remember why I had to manually enter those channels, the satworks 3618 doesnt have a second audio function.

When I scanned G10r for radio, KEXP came up on its own (as "Radio 1" I think - great station, BTW), but everything else came up as a 2nd audio channel of another station. KQUP, KMQF were two, but check out 11800 and you should find them. They're mostly local classic rock and country stations, if I remember.

 

[iafirebuff]

I will check those out!

I scanned some extra channels with the 3618, then went into edit channels, entered all zeros for the video and entered the audio pid. This will give you a black screen, but with music. I also edited in the call letters and what satellite they were on.

I got 2nd audio on KQup and WMQF THanks!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Tony]

glad it worked out for ya

As Jim noted, you can manually add them in so you get a black screen but the audio

Not to sound dumb, but you entered 0's in the VPID entry?

If so, that would be the thing to do. It was hard listening to the 2nd audio while Jerry Springer was on

 

[Mr Tony]

yes, enter "0" for video pid, then there is no picture

 

[iafirebuff]

I will do that tonight. I have found that the manual for the Fortec does not go into detail on most things.

The Traxis DBS-3500 uses 8191 as the default video PID,
followed by the audio PID, when manually inputting radio stations.
(Or you can use the video PID with accompanying video if the picture of the TV station that it piggybacks is desired).

OK, I manually put in the 2nd audio radio channels under the "RADIO" catagory. I have the receivers background displayed instead of the video. I have 4 total radio stations. I notice the signal on one is 80%. Thanks for all the help!

 

[Mr Tony]

That's probably KEXP (11805 H 4580)...that transponder is very strong

 

[iafirebuff]

Yes it is! I don't suppose you know how to turn off that cheesey background the Fortec displays on radio channels do you? The flute/sheet music and coffee doesn't go to well with Nirvana or Lynryd Skynryd

 

[Mr Tony]

Trying to figure it out myself

My Pansat shows the info bar at the bottom the whole time which drives me nuts. Black screen on radio channels manufacturers…no goofy graphics

 

[iafirebuff]

I need to listen to the stations and ID them so that I can program the call letter into the ch memory. Man o man is this ever cool
