Aligning A Dish For Chinasat Satellites Across East AsiaReceiving a Chinasat transmission from Australia requires more than pointing a dish generally north. The correct azimuth, elevation and LNB rotation depend on…
Using SatPointer to Trace Interference from Nearby SatellitesSatellite reception problems are often blamed on rain, ageing equipment or a poorly aligned dish. Those causes are common, especially across Australia’s long…
Setting Up a Dish for Telesat Anik F3 at 118.7°WTelesat Anik F3 occupies the geostationary orbital position 118.7°W, serving defined coverage areas from above the western hemisphere. A dish must have a clear…
Using SatPointer To Set The Correct LNB Rotation AngleA satellite dish can have the correct azimuth and elevation yet still deliver weak or unstable reception if the LNB rotation is wrong. This adjustment, often…
Aligning a dish for Noor-2 across the Middle EastA satellite dish is usually aimed at a communications satellite in geostationary orbit, where the spacecraft appears fixed above one point on the equator. That…
How SatPointer Supports Redundant Satellite Link PlanningA redundant satellite link gives an organization a second path when its primary connection becomes unavailable, degraded, or unsuitable for current traffic.…
Understanding SatPointer’s Beam Coverage ColorsSatPointer combines a selected installation point, Google Maps, and satellite orbital information to show whether a satellite is a practical target for…
How to align a dish for Eutelsat 5 West B at 5.0°WEutelsat 5 West B, positioned at 5.0°W, serves reception areas across Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East through different coverage beams. A…
Using SatPointer To Estimate Doppler Shift On LEO PassesLow Earth orbit satellites move quickly across the sky, often completing a visible pass in only a few minutes. Their speed creates a changing frequency offset…
Setting Up a Dish for BADR-7 at 26.0°E with SatPointerBADR-7, also known as Arabsat 6B, is positioned at 26.0°E and serves a wide region across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and nearby areas. Receiving…
