No joy with that feed either with V+Duo2 and 1.1m offset dish. Can get Retecapri on that satellite but only just AGC 42% Signal/Noise 41% in West Mids.

I tested this on Saturday when it was reported and got nothing. But I am in southern France at present, and all I've got here is a 1 metre dish which is far worse at getting anything on 3°w compared with my 1.2 metre dish in SE UK.
Just for info that feed was posted incorrect it should of been 11040 V 10000, not sure why but changing to 10000 from 9998 made it receivable for me.

TBF, wouldn't have made any difference m8, all sat receivers would have worked with that SR anyway. The problem will have more likely been dish size/signal strength.
From what I can see there is only 2 between 10,000 and 9,998, which shouldn't be a big difference, and certainly shouldn't stop a receiver scanning in the frequency.
Which make/model receiver are you using manic01?
TM5402 9998 nothing, 10000 boomed in, strange that, skew is spot on etc so not sure why it would not work on 9998 but 10000 it did.
As stated the little difference should not of made much difference unless the feed was really maybe 10005 and misposted by the original finder of the feed.
That way it could of made it borderline on 9998.
I have amended my OP to add more info.

It would be interesting if others, with different receivers, could add to the debate, to see if they can receive the feeds on 9998, rather than 10000.
Unfortunately I have little chance. of picking up these feeds, on 3 West, due to location.
what dish size and location?
Just run a blind scan on 3W using 1m Channel Master dish
in N Wales with the following results
11462V 3062 (ABS Test Card ) 45% L - 30% Q
11624H 22497 (tippmix -Conax ) 62% L - 62% Q
12739V 13171 (Capri Store) 52% L - 53% Q
No Sig on 11040V 9998 or 10000 here
THIS IS Not a 24/7 Feed which is why you did not get any lock : )ABS 3A (3.0°W)

Tippmix is 4w

No good in West Mids 1.1m offset Vu+Duo2
Just checked this 4:2:2 feed. Getting a good signal here in SE UK on a 1.2 metre CM dish.
Although weather here is heavy cloud the signal shows as 7.8 dB
The previous 4:2:0 feeds have rarely been this strong when I've checked previously - maybe they don't try so hard to stop people getting these feeds when they use 4:2:2
I'm posting this on Saturday 2 February - Two feeds reported today on 3°west - and I can't get a signal on either.
Try these two if you want to test reception on your set up. Will only be live for another 75 minutes from time of this post.
