Snipe V3

[Giftmonger]

Hi folks
As a new member, I thought I'd kick off with a question !
Has anybody had an issue with Snipe not working when travelling in the North of Scotland ?
Mine works fine South of the border and all over France, but nowt in the Highlands.
Any advice would be appreciated !

We had snipe 2 and about the only place we couldn't get it was Glencoe.

That's showing Astra 1 not Astra 2.

In the far north of Scotland the dish angle is only 18° above the horizon (Astra 2). It's been known for mountains (and small trees and buildings) to obstruct the line of sight to the satellite.

Got a Snipe 2 and toured Northern (including Orkney) and Western Scotland a month or two back with no issues. Only once did it "hunt" for a while before finding the satellite (from memory) Torridon and guess it was mountains partially obstructing signal.
