    Hi all
    I was thinking of setting up a 6ft bud stationary for AMC 3 83w. this spring ( it's like spring here today sunny and warm)
    I am on the west cost near Vancouver. Lyngsat says 5ft would work.
    Is this too small? What's the signal like from AMC 3?

    I used my 6' solid for c band in the past with excellent results. However, a 6' dish will not pull in the weaker tp and you would need a larger dish for the s2/qpsk/8psk hd channels. Just curious Paul, still having tree issues? A huge dish like that needs to be mortorised, why limit yourself to one sat when a motor will pull you in 30 sats.

    Sounds like a bud that needs some tlc. 12' sounds awesome Paul.

    Definitely a great choice in the 12' bud. The retro channels are all in the clear but they are s2/8psk so a bud will be required of at least 10'.
