Hi, what is meant by - "Pilot On" - when used on such listings? What receiver? I thank you in advance for my dumbness.

Hello,

Found this right here by searching inside of tvrosat.com that has more information than an internet search yielded: viewtopic.php?f=243&t=4712&p=8809&hilit ... ting#p8809 . In some of the search results Arion mentions that

To preserve the near Shannon limit performance of the DVB-S2 FEC, pilot symbols may be added to assist the demodulator to minimize probability of cycle-slips and to provide more accurate phase estimates. These pilot symbols are also designed to use a minimum overhead of the overall bandwidth, and can be turned on or off as desired.

Comments from this most learned site will be greatly appreciated.

Way too sunny here,

belter-one
