Thought I would open this thread rather than hi-jack sky0001's any further. Brentb636 asked about symbolrate ranges of the Twinhan so I did a few tests.
I chose AMC3 for the satellite, and Tsreader 2.8.46b, tried both the twinhan 1020a and Skywalker 1 at various symbolrates.
On the Montana channel 12145, SR 4340 the Twinhan would acquire a lock anywhere from 4338 to 4343. The Skywalker would lock only on 4340 or 4341 actually I was surprised it locked at all, usually I can't get a lock.
On the PBSHD channel, 12140, SR 30000, the Twinhan would acquire a lock anywhere from 29988 to 30008. The Skywalker would lock anywhere from 29945 to 30045. Quite a difference there, the Skywalker did better at the higher symbol rate. Brent, that is a real difference from what you are saying you are getting with your Skywalker on a 30000 symbol rate. I wonder if the lnbf being used is a contributing factor? I'm using the Invacom quad.
