I think the drive in the link will work.
It will be nice to have a 1 Terabyte drive installed in the receiver instead of having to fool with external wiring and hardware!!!

It used to be. The Pansat 9500 does it all in one step.
The Raptor just found about 70 channels at 30 West ku. I believe that is better than most receivers.

That's very good, my scans usually come up with about 55-60 channels on that sat.

The Raptor found 18 transponders on a scan of 113W ku. It also found 34 tv and 7 radio services. The wind is blowing in gusts today so it is not the best day to scan.

That's quite impressive EB, your proximity helps as you're located closer to the main footprint for that sat but up here I'm lucky to scan in more then 2 tp.

Location does make a difference. I think you have an advantage out over the Atlantic.

The Raptor is finding transponders with low symbol rates. I saw one with a SR of 999, and a few more below 1500.

Can you try to scan 99w Cband and see if it gets the 1562 SR mexican networks? I have an excellent signal on that bird and I cannot get them all to scan in with the S9 or anything else for that matter.

I will scan 99W and the other c band satellites with the Raptor but it will not be tonight. When I get a new receiver, I check it out on ku first. This gives me a chance to get familiar with the receiver and fix it so it can be operated by other people that only want to watch tv. With that said, I will get it on c band ASAP. EB

Will E2 be available for the Raptor too?

Thanks
