Transponder Blind Scan

[Eastcoast]

Hi

This question may have been asked before but havn't seen anything about it.
When I blin Scan with my Coolsat 5000 sometimes it will stop on a transponder with say a 70% quality for 8 or so seconds and not log any channels radio or tv the scan is set for all types of channels and happened with a satellite east of 61 deg.I don't know wat sat it might be, but I seen a sig so scanned it.

it could be a data channel. If you blind scan one satellite name, scroll through the list of transponders via the manual scan and see if it hits. If it does, let us know and we might be able to match it up

Thanks
I'll give that a try.
As you probably seen the other thread on Amazonas I have picked up some new signals.

[Mr Tony]

Amazonas is pretty cool

Hi Iceberg

Somewhere east of 61 deg maybe around 50-55 I found a signal with a S-77%, Q-70% Freq 12.097 V, SR 29998.Got any ideas what that is and looks like on that one in the scan of aal channels with auniversal lnbf .

 

[Mr Tony]

29998 symbol rate sounds like a data channel

Maybe you're at 58 west? 12100 SR 30000 shows on Lyngsat as Sky Mexico encrypted. See http://www.lyngsat.com/pas9.html

 

[Mr Tony]

nah...the beam is only over Mexico. He's is Newfoundland Canada so highly unlikely

 

[Eastcoast]

Tell you what today I'd rather be in Mexico as it is only about 42 deg F here.Not a good day to do Dish work.
Iceberg I think your probably right that it might be a data channel anyway I will see if there are any more signals out east,I know most of those Sats are beamed to Europe.

Dave
its about 43F here in Minneapolis

Usually when it comes back as symbol rate 30000 it is usually a data signal
