Standard means, there is no priority assigned by user, high prio are shown red, low prio green and surveillance prio - only tuned, when no other satellite passing - grey. What I cannot say is, how you get grey entries without labels. usually there it should say “surveillance”, blocked satellites are not shown in the list. So for me it seems, you have the Tianqi in the surveillance priority class, but I cannot say where the labels are gone . Usually you get the best results, when you prioritize the satellites, which match the performace of your station best, because then the more favourable satellites are tuned instead of satellites your station cannot receive..
Hi stefanp, thank you so much for the detailed explanation and sharing your priority configuration! It really makes sense. Prioritizing satellites that match my station’s performance rather than wasting time on unreachable ones is a game-changer. I’ll definitely check my auto-tune settings. Thanks again
Following your advice, I adjusted my priority settings and set Tianqi to High Priority—and the results have been amazing!
My packet count jumped up significantly, almost reaching 1,600 packets in a single day! Prioritizing the satellites that best fit my station’s reception really made a huge difference. Thank you so much for the great tip!
Nope, just the prioritization! Nothing else was touched on the setup itself.
Simply giving Tianqi higher priority made this night-and-day difference in packet count. It’s amazing how much performance was left on the table just by default scheduling!
Just an observation on the software side—I tweaked the priority setting for TIANQI, and the daily packet count went through the roof! It’s interesting how much difference both hardware tuning and software configuration can make.
