    Default ABS2 @ 75e

    Could someone check ABS 2 at 75e as I have lost all signals from that bird and nothing shows on the spectrum analyser, Apsattv 7 at 76.5e is still strong and Int 22 showing heaps of data services but no Apsrar 2 can be seen.

    Moved the dish in fanny hair steps and managed to find it again. Very weak now for me, a couple of clicks and I loose it.

    Will depend on how low your dish can see without obstructions such as trees and how big it is.

    Last time I was in Melb, me and a freind got his 3mt mesh as low as 68e and had pictures, but he had a large unobstructed view with a clear field to the west near Essendon airport. So I think ABS2 at 75e should be fine if the dish has no obstructions and is big enough.

    It's a pity about the tree preventing full illumination as the dish moves east. Illumination also suffers to the west due to a building.

    If possible it would be good to dish install mounting post to rear wall of house so that the dish is higher (above verandah roof) thus allowing full illumination both east and west. Planning regulations and neighbours can be a problem if attempting to do that though.
