The TBS 6983 card is the best card so far and as hard core DXers me (Sato) and Peon (aka Onacila) would like to prove the card`s capability on the following examples. We test our hardware to the maximum on various bands as we can cover C (3.4-4.2 + 4.5-4.8 GHz), Ku (10.75-12.75 GHz) and Ka (18.2-22.2 GHz) plus X band (7.25-7.75 GHz hardware is ready).

Anyway, with TBS 6983 on Windows 7 (32 bit) the lowest SR we have been able to get so far is SR 128 and the highest is SR 60000 KS/s. Both stable and hassle free on a 2.5m prime focus dish by using XMW 9216HDF and NJR 2842S. SR 139 KS/s have been received in C band by using a Norsat 8115F LNB. I guess these are current limits in orbit at the moment, but definitely not the TBS card! If there`s anything under or above those SRs, I`ll post screenshost here asap.

Additional details can be found on lyngsat.com or flysat.com where our and other DXers` updates are posted.

Here`s one more example how brilliant the TBS 6983 is.
The screenshot is from reception of Eutelsat 12 West A @ 12.5W, frequency 12555 Vertical. TV signal is usually transmitted in CCM mode (so called Coding Mode) and ACM/VCM is mostly seen for data transmission, when 16-32 APSK modulation is used.
This picture is a perfect example of a "multistandard" transmission when several modes are used at the same time (ACM VCM + MIS) and a brilliant card design that can handle all these requirements without any problems. Simply superb!
