    I've attached some scans I have. Keep in mind that the originals I managed to get, were photocopies done in the 90's.
    I did them in the highest res I could, but there is still much to be desired. The one named ACESAT 3.7m Remaster is the 3.7m W65 one that I fixed up.
    Some details were harder to make out, so if any mistakes are noticed, please let me know.

    I'll post the others that I remaster, when I do them (this one took 3 hours...).

    Zakk.

    As for channel 7, it's only FTA broadcast is on D3/Optus 10 via Foxtel and VAST.
    Channel 7 Perth is up (FTA) at the moment on Optus D1



    other 7 channels include All of Melbourne, all of Sydney, all of Brisbane, & all of Adelaide .... but they are displaying a "service error" at the moment

    They can turn them all on or only the ones they want too

    Yes the ch7. 16apsk service is random I can get it on a 1.5mt offset at around 12.7db. Am curious to see if you can load the ABC/SBS mixes. An at what signal level. I get the two transponders at around 15.6db but will not load on my sat card. I think there is more to this service then being straight out 16apsk. I suspect only compliment receivers will easily resolve it. But am interested to see if you can lock and get pictures.

    At other times I’ve been able to resolve a signal at less level. But this seems to be controlled by Optus.

    Yes I get the ABC and SBS on Optus D1 (the complete free view channel lists for both & for all states of Australia) these two for me are rock solid signals all the time

    I have an Ultraplus X-1000HD+ Sat receiver both ABC and SBS signal level 100%, signal Quality 98% (Channel 7 only get a maximum of 94% signal quality .... but then picture drops off the cliff edge around 89% signal quality)

    Yes this sat receiver is a Multi Stream receiver (16apsk) & will do the Symbolic rate of 47300 for ABC and SBS on Optus D1 (other receivers may not)

    however, I have not tuned in the LNB or dish for about 10 years now and I seem to remember I tuned the LNB and the dish to be good for both the Optus satellites and for Intlesat 19 Satellite (a middle good signal for both at that time) (maybe I should re-tune both the LNB and dish to be a maximum for Optus D1 now)

    The ABC/SBS on D1 comes in fine on a 90cm offset dish, Ch 9 on Intelsat 19 Ku band require a 1.2m meter... all are 16APSK requiring newer receivers which supports MultiStream.
    See...

    Looks familiar. This is my dish modified to suit my H to H mount.
