[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1160627, member: 176362"] Warning it addictive - once you start playing with this software you soon get sucked into other things. How about SSTV from the ISS? (not continuous, there are events throught the year) Pager reception? (whats left of the service, much has been closed down) DAB radio? SSTV from cubesats? (weak signals & difficult to get good results so a real challenge!) amateur radio via satellite? (numerous satellites in use on all sorts of frequencies) Brazilian pirate stations on USA military satellites? Plane tracking on 1090MHz? Plenty of examples of what can be done using simple equipment in this SDR reception! And because you are only receiving any old antenna can be used - it will work even if wildy mismatched from what the antenna is cut for. Yes there will be losses but it'll work well enough. With a few exceptions - 1090MHz will need a properly cut antenna but chopped up satellite coax housed in a bit of plastic pipe is fine (!) [/QUOTE]
