I did get a hit on a 12099 transponder with a 29999 S/R on 43.1. The signal was zero, but the transpnder was somehow found. Could have been a fluke.
I am thinking my alignment could be a bit off. I will test some more on the west side. Too bad there are no Ku signals between 129W and 148W and my motor does not reach 148W. It should, but the receiver fails to move it. Perhaps I need to disable the limits.

Just when I thought my setup is as good as it can get, I am back thinking of re-adjusting it.
