1000.2 Dish, Western Arc with 222K receiver receiving 110, 119, and 129. Sunday evening in Denver, CO was checking signal strength ahead of anticipated snow storm Monday. Strength on 110 and 119 were normal and average. However on 129 transponders 16-32 were pegged at full green bar and numeral of 125. I checked at about 11:15, 11:30, and 11:45 with the same results. The next morning readings had retreated to normal ranges of 20's to 40's. Anyone experience this?
Next question. My readings on 110 and 119 are equal to or better than table of minimum and averages. Yet 129 seems somewhat less. 129 trans 19 is 25, 20 is 25, 29 is 23, 30 is 26. From the table looks like 129 should be in the low 40's. Why is 129 low if 119 is "peaked"? I obtained my azimuth, elevation, and skew from Dishpointer,com. I have observed this from late summer into fall and now that leaves are gone from trees believe this removes obstruction from leaves or branches from the equation. I would like to maximize signal strength on 129 for the upcoming winter snow storms.
Thanks for any input and insight.
