Frequency Settings for Ka band

(Read 8650 times)

Ex Member Ex Member	May 26^th, 2006 at 3:39pm I'm currently in the eastern arctic, and have our new Raven 65 X 75cm dish, and am having a hard time locating Anik F2. What settings should be used on the spectrum analyser, to detect this ka band?

Ex Member Ex Member	Reply #2 - May 26^th, 2006 at 10:39pm I'm @ 68.46 North, and 81.14 west. Some say the signal should be fine, some say no. Maybe with the BirdDog sat finder, it may be easier to locate.

Elevation is ~10.2, skew is ~11.2 L-band frequency range associated with Ka-receive is identical to Ku-band; 950 to 1450 MHz, but polarization is circular. //greg//
