Going to try my new baby V9 reciever which will arrive pretty soon!

Going to be fun DXing narrow band audio and any rare super narrow band video feeds below 1.00 MBs into KBs world.

Should be fun!!

I think you will like the V9. Be sure to try and lock WPR on 99.

I have new firmware for the Amiko 4K UHD that can go down to a SR of 200. However I am not able to test it, I don't have Ku Band at all right now. I will have to get some volunteers to try it out.

I might be willing to test, Though my Amiko 4k seems to be on the fritz.

Here is the Test File. For the Amiko MINI 4K UHD S2X Receiver Only.
V1.0.69 Allows the User to Manually Set the Symbol Rate of a Transponder as low as 100.
The technical staff of the Demodulator said that the minimum should be greater than 200, and the locking will be relatively slow.
Please test on WPR on 99W and other very low SR Frequencies and let us know.

Use at your own risk!

Casey, have you heard any test results as of yet?

No sir, i have not I may have to post it elsewhere (maybe LegitFTA) to get some testers. Also, i now have new firmware for the Amiko MINI HD265 Receiver, same update, adding ability to manually set SR down to 100.

 

[Hyper Casey]

Forget LegitFTA for now, i get all sorts of errors there when i try to add an attachment. I started a new thread here with the firmware, maybe it will get seen by more folks. Forgive me k4otl if i hijacked your thread a little bit. Back to you friend.

Just FYI for those with the V9 Prime receiver; there is an official firmware update from GTMedia available. I installed it this afternoon and it seems to have improved tuning and SQ on several problematic feeds.

It is now 100 degrees F here in suburban Albuquerque, and the WPR mux is solid and sounding great.

Screenshot of WPR, booming in at 80-81% SQ on the 1.2m dish. Locked solid for almost an hour now.
