With immediate effect additional 500kHz are now available above 10.499 MHz of the WB transponder for RB-DATV (reduced bandwidth).
The BATC WB-WebSDR is already covering this additional head room.
WB DATV Bandpland extended +500 kHz

Brilliant - quick test with a Pluto-SDR (that's all that's needed) at 2W RF 250ks worked fine.

Exccelent.
I think a revised graphic with the new bandplan should be published and announced.

Is there any plans to reduce the beacon to 1M SR, that may be useful the wider bandwidth users and also have the benefit of reducing the average power consumption, even if only slightly that the transponder takes?

2 watts? What giant dish are you using

According to this link https://wiki.batc.org.uk/QO100_DATV_Users, Mike uses a 2,4 m dish and 32 watts...

A 2.4m dish and up to 50W but usually much less. 5W is more than enough for 333ks 3/4.

regarding the new WB bandplan:
I have updated the QO-100 WebSDR's wide band mode to show signals up to 10499,500 MHz
