Satdump software & wxsat reception

Here's a good one using V2 this Morning

Does anyone know how to widen the display ?

 

[Analoguesat]

Use a smaller sample rate in RECORDER-DEVICE should do it.

Met M2-4 19/5/24 1350utc

As received apart from trimming the noise off the top & bottom of the image

Just had a look at the scans.I spotted that one ,because the setting are the same for both Meteors I assumed the it was M2-3.Nice to know that I got one from M2-4.15.6 pm.The times that I state are the record folder times.
Edit The image is not cropped that is the limit of my scan range

This is an odd one not sure which meteor it is I recon that it is M 2-4. 14. 5pm scan

They released a new version of satdump, nothing in it helps with my spike problem.

If I tune to 137.1 MHz and turn the LNB gain all the way down I get a huge spike right on that frequency, if I tune to 137.9 MHz I get the same, sometimes it affects some satellites, other times it doesn't it does affect the Meteor satellites, so I'm kinda at a standstill on those satellites until I can figure out where these spikes are coming from.

Any of you using the Nooelec or RTL-SDR type dongles have this problem??

This is the DC Offset spike. You can normally select a tuning offset so the software is looking at the spectrum away from this area. Some software can null the spike but it is difficult on a low cost dongle.

I've tried offsetting the LO frequency but it doesn't help.

Is there another way that i'm missing??

 

[Joolz]

Normally you have an IQ Calibration function that will automatically null out the spike.

Look at IQ Correction? · Issue #427 · SatDump/SatDump

Makes no difference but when I change it and restart it keeps going back to 2.048 for some reason
