[BC] Satellite interference

[Chuck Lakaytis]

Yes, the filters have worked for us.  In at least one instance two filters
had to be used.

I hope that your signal is not marginal.  I seem to remember that the last
time we test one for our low power village television service, Steve Hamlin
the TV guy measured a reduction of signal around 1.25 db.

But it sure cured a problem with radar interference.

Howdy all:
 
Our Starguide sat receivers here in Tucson are getting hammered by what
appears to be radar interference.  It's pretty regular, about every ten
seconds, several times a day.
 
I've seen an AWACs plane flying around the area for the past few weeks, and
I'm guessing that's what is causing it, although other sources can't be
ruled out.
 
I'm looking at C-band filters like the ones that Dawnco sells to try to fix
this.  Has anyone had success using the Dawnco or similar filters with AWACs
interference?
