Interference across the arc......

[eastof111]

I got hit...

For the last year I thought I was being very lucky avoiding major interference from the big 3 mobile phone companies. Until now. Two days ago someone turned on a switch that started major interference problems across the arc from 55w to 127w.

Signals drop from 14-15 db to 3-4 db on the stronger sats, while the weaker sats are no longer there.

I guess I will have to pickup a new lnbf with filter like the Titanium blue C140 which I hope will allow viewing some of the sats again.

Bummer.......

same here acros Detroit river: 101w is down to 10-12dB from ~15db for a week now; same for 87w, 91w, 99w, 82w, 40w, 55w.

Living in the MoNW (middle of nowhere) is a treat. I think I receive 50+ transponders on 117W right down to 3720 MHz.

maybe this is the answer of our signal problems :
satellite signal

I wish that was the case, but it's not. I received the C140 lnbf with blue filter today and installed it. I was pleasantly surprised It cleared up the interference, considering the amount of pixelation and fluctuation in signal strength I was experiencing. But I need to fine tune it and find the sweet spot again.

I'll post some pixs after I get it positioned properly. So far I am a happy camper and believer of the capabilities of this lnbf.

Well, I fined tune my arc, but can't get the signals strengh it was before set 20. According to the experts, the situation should be back to normal after oct 7, so you may wait to fine tune your system.

The solar outages haven't begun for most yet in North America. It depends where you are geographically located. For many, the outages will begin as early as about October 4 (earlier for the S and SE locations) and signal losses will last only for about 5 or 10 minutes at a time for a week or so. They only last for the time that a satellite takes to transit across the location of the sun. So no signal loss is happening now for most as a result of solar outage. Interference now is probably your friendly 5G playing with you.
