Looking for beacon frequencies for semi au...

Frenske's Photo Frenske 31 Oct 2018

For a friend of mine which owes a Zen-rad multisat half automatic mobile dish I am looking for all beacontransponders for Astra 19,2, Astra 23.5, Astra 28.2, HB 13.0, and Eutelsat 9 east. This is a semi automatic system with maximum of 8 satellites.
I have found some info but I doubt if the data for Eutelsat 9 east is as it should be. I can’t test it as the positioner is at my place for updating the data but the mobile-home isn’t.

Anyone on our board that might supply me with the right data?

What is a "beacon transponder"?
 
Are you looking for a stable transponder that can be used to autodetect the correct sat position, like we do in the image? We use these parameters in the image...

I am told I should use a frequency of one specific transponder of Eutelsat 9 that is not used by any other satellite.
In the data I provided earlier most used satellites should be ok but I have changed Hispasat for Eutelsat 9E but if that transponder is also present on any other satellite it won’t work.
Until now I didn’t receive very much helpfull support from the manufacturer. Instead of supplying the needed data he only writes what I should look for. :(

In the table given above there is no real beacon frequency... only just a dvb transponder...

What else is a transponder?

 

The table contains a frequency, symbol rate,  polatisation, and a DBVS flag which I don't know what is is (perhaps S vs S2?).

 

Maybe a tip:

 

Excel can import XML into a table. So you should be able to import a satellites.xml, and compare the transponder frequencies to find a unique one?

I’ll give it a try somewhere today.
