I tried for 87W on my Azbox with the 10 ft mesh dish. I could not get a reliable lock, the Q was 0, but would occasionally jump to the 80's and immediately fall back to 0. I do have a little 'slop' in my dish frame, so I may not be 'spot-on'. I haven't tried 137W, but may later. I have the channels on Ku, 83W, of course.
Finally got my dish off the 2" thick 4 foot diameter concrete pad it was mounted to for the last three years...It's been slowly leaning more over the last few winters.I decided to get a nice 8 foot pole at $50 and a few bags of concrete to mount it correctly. Hopefully tomorrow it will be lined up and I'm hoping for a slight improvement on 87W and 137W...Will post results then.
I wish I had a 3.8 meter solid dish, or any 3.8 meter dish for that matter. Unfortunately, something with that kind of wind load would become a large missile down here during hurricane season.
Yeah 3.8 meter...I'm lucky to have the 8 footer I've got! After mounting the dish on my new pole last night and today, RTV is coming in on 87 and 137W. 137W is by far easier fro me to get. 87w bounces between 52-63 on RTV. The stronger Tp's are 70-75%
After having a solid 87% signal quality on this MUX on 87W early last week I now can't get any signal.
On this dark, gloomy, rainy morning in Western, PA this Luken MUX on 87W is now coming in with a solid 86% signal quality. Go figure!
87 West (Luken)
Hello guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that this last week the Transponder for Luken was very weak for me since the change here in Northern Indiana. I was only getting about S/45-50, Q/05-12. Today it is a great S/90, Q/60-71. That is wonderful. My weather here today is looking pretty good and I plan to go out to the BUD and really try to fine tune this great signal and quality while its here, (very slowly though). I didn't know if others were getting this good of signal. It might be a good day to try! I use a 7.5 Mesh.

, but still nothin'. 137W, only, for me.
Black screen, faint jumbled audio in the background on MicroHD/Birdview C/Ku.Tried bumping the dish, no good. All of 'em. Had it a few weeks ago.
And, for me, with no tree or obstruction issues EVER, Only 360 North and some others, nothing on 137. Rescanned, found nothing. Am I missing something?

137W is still my choice in S.West Ohio. I get 87W but it's touchy low 50's. Everything else on 87W in at least 75%.
Thanks Iceberg for the merge, Sorry about that!
I got the fine tuning done on Luken 87W. I ended up with S/90 and Q/70-72. I can only hope that will last for awhile.
