Noticed this morning that the bandwidth of the Othernet service dropped to roughly 10000bps, and the signal is not a steady stream anymore. Is this normal? (I’ve been away from the project for a while, it was working/looking normal last night)
Edit: about 15 minutes later, the signal returned to normal. It seems it just didn’t have any files to send at the time, thus the low bitrate (audio only) and thus the pulses. The bitrate is slowly creeping back up, but I believe this is an average over x time, so it will take a while to get back to 20000.
After reading your post and edit, I checked mine and nothing looked out of the ordinary. However, I looked at @kenbarbi Ken’s online unit, and it is still exhibiting what you have described in this post. Could be related to the fringe coverage from SES-2? @Syed comment?
anything that isnt roughly “8000” or “20000” is the system showing an average. During the bitrate drop, it seems to be audio only. … The audio is another discussion I’d like to have at some point, its unusable, but thats for another thread.
If the audio could be used as a tuning aid… or pointing aid , then it could be valuable. Similar to a locator beacon. Give the operator some audio when the lnb is ‘close’ to the correct pointing.
