Plenty of room, this was my 66ks signal yesterday. 85kHz wide.

Great results gents,
congrats to all who took part.
I wonder what everyone was using to Tx/Rx, including settings etc apart from those shown above?

I was using an old Windows I7 PC, OBS, DATV Easy 2.17, Pluto with 0303 firmware. I set it to soft encode, DVBS, 66ks H266 and left the rest as 'automatic'.
For RX I was using a Picotuner and Opentuner 0.9 (2024/02/11) using the FFMPEG decoder.
It also worked with H265 but noticeable drop in quality.
About 10 Watts into a 12dbd beam.
