Today’s Unshackled! daily program has been replaced. The previous program had phase reversal issues. We thought yesterday we’d found all of the incorrect source files but we will be checking/replacing all future programs. Apologies!
Today’s daily has been updated due to an issue in the audio. The daily was pushed to your Amb-OS box. If you use ftp please download the program again.
Dr. J. Vernon McGee was an active participant of the Thru the Bible radio ministry for 47 exciting years. When his health began to fail, plans were made to see that the Bible study program continued long after his homegoing. The message would remain the same and the “voice” of Thru the Bible would continue to be Dr. McGee, through the use of the previously recorded five-year program.
After our Savior called Dr. McGee home in December of 1988, the program’s reach continued to grow. Today, Thru the Bible is a worldwide ministry airing on more than 800 stations in the U.S. and Canada, and it’s heard in more than 100 languages and dialects around the world. The mission is simple and it’s same one Dr. McGee himself embraced: To take the whole Word to the whole world.
The continued success of Thru the Bible—even after the death of its founder—gives testimony to God’s blessing. The ministry is supported entirely by the fervent prayers and faithful giving of its wonderful listeners, and the plan is to keep sending the Word out as long as God allows.
The Thru the Bible daily 26-minute broadcast as well as the Questions & Answers and Sunday Sermon broadcasts are now available on Amb-OS.
Apologies folks! The permissions portal, http://www.amb-os.com/permissions was down for a bit this afternoon but is now functional again..Sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience!
As has been discussed in the previous posts below Amb-OS and all other CRC entities have previously issued commands to locked satellite receivers to make the frequency change from transponder 17 to transponder 7. Microspace has informed us that the feed on transponder 17 (old frequency) will cease at 12:00 Midnight, tomorrow, 4/30/2016. If your AMR-100 has not yet been changed to the new frequency (1317.550 mHz. see manual tuning frequency change document link in previous post below) it will cease to receive the satellite carrier tomorrow at midnight eastern.
As is always the case, you may call our 24 X 365 helpdesk at 1-877-AMBOS2U (1-877-262-6728) or email support@amb-os.com if we can be of any assistance.
The frequency change command as discussed below was sent to all locked RF AMR-100 receivers at ~17:15 Eastern today (4/11/2016)..Please refer to the documents below for manual frequency change details or for help in re-adjusting your antenna’s x-pol or peaking..

On Friday, April 1st, 2016, Microspace Communications (satellite provider for Amb-OS and other CRC entities) implemented 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 we’ll 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:
Most receive sites should notice only slight differences in received satellite signal strength and quality after the move from transponder 17 to 7. If your site observes a significant decrease in received Eb/N0 and/or an increase in BER (due to the move of the CRC signal to the more heavily-loaded transponder & increased x-pol energy presence) your receive antenna may need to be more critically adjusted for x-pol rejection and peaking of the signal.
We’ve prepared an antenna x-pol minimization & peaking help document which can be downloaded from our support page at:
