Signal Strength Eastern Arc

[cditty]

What is considered 'Good' signal strength with the new LNB's & Hopper 3 meter?

I'm in the mid 50's on 61.5 and upper 60's on 72...

ON Eastern arc 50 or higher is good strength. Different way to read the meter on eastern arc vs western arc. So 50 would be like 75 on western arc.

Thank you. Hadn't looked at it, but I had signal issues this morning. I had to clip a couple of branches of a crepe myrtle. It was raining and that made it get in my LOS. After that, I wanted to make sure those were good to go.

Appreciate the quick response.

50's for 129 (most HD) is the the norm on WA. 110 and 119 will get up in the 70's.

As of right now I have the following signal strength on the Eastern Arc:
Satellite 72 Transponder 13 - 59
Satellite 65 Transponder/Spot Beam 23 - 53

I have a Hopper 3/Dual hub Hybrid, 1000.2 Eastern Arc LNBF Hybrid. I have about 80' of RG6
from the dish to the Dual Hub.

I'm locater about 10 miles east of Philadelphia PA.

You're sitting pretty with those numbers.

Thanks guys. I'm actually doing really well signal wise, then.

I will say that they added a feature I liked. It took me to the SD feeds, because it could still get the bits to show them until I trimmed the tree. I liked that. With the wet Crepe Myrtle, I had about 11% on 72.

That shift off to SD is nothing new, been around since forever, AFAIK.
