Amb-OS satellite frequency change April 11, 2016

On Friday, April 1st, 2016, Microspace Communications (satellite provider for Amb-OS and other CRC entities) will implement a process that will result in a frequency change to our satellite signal.  The CRC carrier frequency will change from its current transponder 17 value of 4043.425 Mhz. (1106.575 Mhz. L-band) to its new transponder 7 location of 3832.450 Mhz. (1317.550 Mhz. L-band.)  The satellite (SES-2) and downlink polarization (h-pol) will NOT change nor will any other settings of your AMR-100 receiver.AMR-100 units that are being used to receive other CRC network feeds in addition to the Amb-OS programming will continue to function as normal after the move with no local changes.  Microspace will dual feed the CRC carrier on both the old and new frequencies for the complete month of April to allow entities sufficient time to make receiver adjustments.On April 11th, 2016 at 19:15:00 Eastern, Amb-OS will transition from the old frequency to the new and will adjust our transmission schedule for that day so as to not be transmitting program files during the transition period.As the change is made we expect that your AMR will de-acquire and then re-acquire within a few seconds.  The new frequency command will be sent by us to your receiver from the Amb-OS head-end so under normal circumstances any manual change will not be necessary.  However, if a local manual change becomes necessary due to your AMR being offline when the command is sent  (if you have spare AMR-100 units you may want to consider having them also connected to the satellite feed on April 11th) here’s a link to the manual frequency change details on our support page:http://www.amb-os.com/pdfs/Freq_Change_2016.pdfPlease feel free to email our support team at  support@amb-os.com  if any questions arise.
