JoeOtto Posted January 13, 2006 CID Share Posted January 13, 2006 Got my call tonight from the technician. He is coming on Tuesday afternoon. I will DEFINITELY be here. See if I can pry some information out of him, plus test before I let him leave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostmaster Posted January 13, 2006 CID Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think each transponder is like it's own engine, so filling up one won't hurt any others. I say let em go to IA8 if it will help my speeds. (stomps away with arms crossed in a selfish manner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeOtto Posted January 17, 2006 CID Share Posted January 17, 2006 I was happy with the technician. He was impressed with my previous signal strength and XPOL. (91/99 respectively) I am at 82/69 right now. He says that is good for this satellite. I am not convinced. We shall see. I haven't looked. Is there a XPOL/RSL thread on here?
