Trying to find White Springs TV

[Phottoman]

Has the transponder moved (again)? Or have they changed transponders?

According to lyngsat, Gal 27, 12027 H is where I am supposed to be looking, but for some reason, I just can't seem to find anything there.

I'm going to spend some time tonight looking, but wanted to know first, IS it still there?

Iceberg, I'm sorry it took me this long to get back, dinner, a small emergency with sister next door, but thank you for your help.

I'm going to let you know WHAT I did, if any other Conaxsat DUO (or TREO) members are trying to do a blind scan, here's what I found out.

The DUO offers the following options for Blindscan.

Freq Steps: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10MHz
Symbol Rates: All, 8000 and over, 8000 and under, 8000 - 4000, 4000 and over, 4000 and under
Polarity: All, Hor, Vert

Originally I had the setup for the scan at 4MHz, All, and All.

knowing this would take a L-O-N-G time, I stopped and retried at 4MHz, under 4000 and hor.

It skipped right past 12027 without giving a heart beat, but it DID stop at 11896 and hung up there for a very long time, so I restarted, lowering the scan to 2MHz.

It actually surprised me when nearly 30 minutes later I was looking at S80 and Q 95 on 12027. Scanned in White Springs.

The entire process took well over an hour, but I am happy and proud to say, I DID IT !!! WHOHOO.

Again, Ice, thank you for your help.

Some receivers have trouble finding WSTV with a blind scan due to its low symbol rate. If a blind scan fails to find it, you can usually pull it up quickly with a manual scan of the transponder.

 

[Phottoman]

OOOPS, did I forget to mention, that transponder didn't exist on the Conaxsat DUO receiver?

THAT was why I was having trouble finding it in the first place.

Thanks to all that responded, it was an enlightening experiance.

And btw, blindscanning with the DUO is a painful hurt. And using ChannelMaster will often effect the opperation of the USALS so I didn't want to go that route, though it looks like I may have to start thinking about a new motor.

[Mr Tony]

There is no way to add a transponder manually??

 

[Phottoman]

Not that I have discovered using the CNX DUO. I have used ChannelMaster, but then that seems to do things to the motor setup, so I shy away from that.

And as far as I haver read so far, not too many people on this forum are using the DUO/TREO.

However, that said, I have been having a ball learning to use this receiver.

Tried numerous times to find it myself but no luck

I have tried to blind scan this satellite a bunch of times to find this channel but my viewsat can't lock it in, I think it's b/c of the lower frequency the viewsat has trouble with this type of channels.

I only used the blindscan because the freq wasn't listed on my DUO.

Do you have the freq? Let's start from there.

If I add a newsat, I can then put in a freq and start scanning. I have looked again and I still don't see where I can add a freq to an existing sat.
