Re: PAS-8 - Ku-Band Coverage

It will be a very difficult task since the signal is so weak. None of the folks I know in N.California has luck with this bird. Just for fun, I spent half a day to aim my fixe 5.3ft. No luck. The dish elevation is very low, which is 5 degs for me. At this kind of low elevation, the dish pick up lot of noise from the ground as well. Pas2 Ku also has some transponder beamed to the US as well. You might try it first since the elevation is a bit higher than the Pas8.
