It looks like they cranked up the power on the new mux. I am registering 15dB on the new one and 16.5dB on the old. Keep in mind the new mux is using a fec rate of 5/6 while the old one used 3/4. Also, your location will determine your signal strength

I am using the dual orthomode feed with 5g waveguide filter from tek2000. Finally got it installed on my 12 footer and it works great!!

Re: New Nasa Mux on 127 W now with "KSC 4K Encoder 1-1" channel.

Hello,

Checking the new NASA transponder (127W 4009V 15000 S/R 5/6 FEC) the NASA UHD channel was overwritten as "KSC 4K Encoder 1-1". There is a small test file in glorious 4k that is looping. The old NASA transponder is still showing the Harmonic data on the NASA UHD channel. I hope this means we will be getting NASA news and data in glorious 4K.

Nice to see something new and beautiful,
