Important Notice: Optus D3/10 Transponder Update
The Issue: Optus recently decommissioned the 12398H Transponder on the Optus D3/10 satellite (@156°E).
Affected Devices: If you are using meters such as the Satlink WS-6933 or Blauhaus SM-07, they may be pre-programmed to search for this specific transponder. As a result, they will currently fail to provide a locked signal feedback.
