Apparently not.  Supposedly a programmer can send a message to a specific
videocipher id (your subscription is going to expire) but I've never seen
one.  Also the TEXT system is supposedly so PPV channels can provide a
schedule, or any other use a channel may want to use it for.  I've never
seen any TEXT stuff.

If your receiver has NARROW bandwidth, this unit by itself won't give you
more stations.  It is designed for older mono only receivers or those without
narrow bandwidth.

It connects to the RAW VIDEO out (BASEBAND) and Not the IF LOOP.

Greetings!

I know, I know.  I should have written it down.  A while ago there was some
discussion of distributers/packagers of scrambled services.  One in particular
was recommended.  I made a note to call them, and did, and they had a good 
deal.  Now I want to follow up and can neither find nor remember who it was!
It was an outfit that let you pick and choose your own selections, and who
would sell the needed VCII as well.

Any advice at this point (including alternatives, really) would be greatly
appreciated.  I just got my dish up on a permanent pole, and I can actually
see most of the arc now!  --Downside:  F1 unexpectedly vanished behind my

I don't know the answer, but the one that gets me is WGN. It's about twice
the level of the other services. When I flip to WGN we all get blasted away!

Reply-To: phil@phunt.MV.COM
X-Mailer: uAccess - Macintosh Release: 1.5v4

Hi,

I finally got a copy of Orbittrack 2.1.4 for the Mac here at work.  This program
reads the Nasa 2-line orbital statistics that Mr. Kelso posts regularly.

It is a great program, does have some minor bugs, but I think I found a major
one.  Anyone else see this?

I read in the latest NASE stats.  I told Orbittrack to MAP Galaxy 1 and it
shows it at 0 (Equator), 120 w.  I happen to know G1 is at 133 w, so I told
it to MAP Spacenet 2.  It plotted it at 0, 117...Wierd.  I told it to plot
all American sats and they all plotted withing 6 degrees of each other at
114w to 120 w!   

I then plotted some Soviet sats to make sure it works ok, and it correctly
plotted the orbit of these non-geosynchronous satellites.

My questions:

1)  Are all geosynch sats on the Equator?

2)  Why did the program plot them so far off?

Also, how do I get a declination/setup chart from this program for my location?

I set my location, but cannot for the life of me, figure out how to get the
standard setup charts everyone sells or does.  (You know, the ones that show
angle from the horizon, direction of the dish for each satellite!).

Thanks!

Jones Intercable foots the bill.  Well their subscribers do.  These audio
services are meant for cable, and cable subscribers pay.  Occaisionally in
the past they have run commercials.  Galactic Jazz is on OUR cable here in
Marquette, and is part of the basic service.  Those companies who carry it,
pay "so much" per subscriber.

 Speaking of the SP2000, did anyone EVER get a schematic on it? Vijay was

 a diagram, I can do some experimenting with it regarding forcing certain
 bandwidths, etc while I have access to the EE lab equipment this fall at
 school. However, since I've been laid off, that won't last foreever.
 Any other sources of information and I'll gladly follow it up.

Channel 7 in Miami has a Special Report on T1/5 now and they say
they will try to stay on the air continuously with the report.
I'm am sure other Miami TV stations will follow shortly with their
telecasts on Satellite TV.

On GSTAR-2 among other satellites, I have seen live feeds from the National

DBS' number is 1-800-350-0256.  I got a system from them a couple of months
ago and have been quite pleased with their service.  I called 5 or 6 mail
order places and DBS was a few hundred dollars below anyone.

I also have extremely high wind here and was torn between the
10' Winegard Pinnacle Perf (is that the same as the CK-105?) and
the 8' Paraclipse Hydro.  Some mail order places claimed the Orbitron
SX-10 was the best 10' dish on the market for wind.  I ended
up getting the Paraclipse because it's warranted to 100mph wind.
The Winegard is only warranted to 70 mph (per the manufacturer)
though some dealers will tell you it's higher.  The Winegard does
have multiple panels (though mounted sturdily), while the Paraclipse
is a one-piece design.  Local dealers claimed that the worst damage
they've seen to the Winegard from wind is the panels' perforated mesh
deforming inward.  They claimed the mesh can be easily pushed back
into shape without damage.

I also have the Ajak H-H and am happy with it.  I've never had
a linear actuator so I can't compare them.

I think you are referring to G6/18.  I saw a PBS slate yesterday (I forget

to waste time until the MacNeil-Lehrer Newshour came on.  A few minutes

  Nope.  Several reasons:

    1.	Microwave TV that is transmitted to home users (MDS) is
	in the 2.15 GHz range.  ITFS is in the 2.5 - 2.6 GHz range.
	The frequency assumption is apparently wrong.

    2.	The signal levels are probably too low.  You would need
	external amplification.

    3.	The MDS and ITFS signals are amplitude modulated, with sound
	4.5 MHz away, in the same format as regular broadcast.  (Well,
	sort of, some MDS signals are inverted in frequency.)  Satellite
	signals are wideband FM, so the receiver won't understand them.

    4.	The narrow beam signals from TV remotes and the like that are
	also in the 2 - 2.6 GHz range are also FM, but they are a narrower
	deviation than satellite -- they typically are 4 MHz deviation.
	If your receiver can deal well with half-transponder wide signals,
	it might be able to deal with these, if you can convert them to
	the right frequency range.

In this case, the shrouding surrounding the 'bird' is engineered to be
"just strong enough" to withstand the aerodynamic loads.  Adding the weight
of the recovery parachute/escape rocket/flotation device is prohibitive
both from a throwaway view, and the power needed to loft all that weight.

Anyone keeping a log of just how many Centaur stages have failed?  I
believe that two of the Shuttle rescue missions were to snag satellites
stranded by Centaur failures.

The manual for the Radio Shack SR2012 lists the input frequency as
970-1430 Mhz. That must be a typo, since it's only 460 Mhz. Do they
mean 930-1430, which I've seen in some LNB catalogs?

I am trying to locate the offices of the Arab Network of America (F2R ch.1)
and North American CHinese TV Network.  I want to contact them to obtain a
schedule and permission to use their programming here at the U of Michigan.
If anyone has viewed these programs and know who to contact please either post
or e-mail me an address or phone number.
 
Also, if any of you know of other foreign language services that might not be
obvious (I know about the Traditional Spanish channels on Morolos, Univision,
Galavision, SCOLA, International Channel, the French services on Anik, and a
few others) I would appreciate getting more information about these services.
Thanks a lot

    World of Radio from WRNO on Sunday, Aug.30 dropped "International 
Vacuum" from sources for WoR, so maybe Glenn knows that LTR on Spacenet 3 
Tr 21 6.2 Wideband Audio has not been carrying him, and maybe they won't 
ever again.  Pity.

gerry@bluemoon.rn whose home bbs has trouble getting the 
mail out sometimes, so it may go here instead.
