[QUOTE="vma, post: 997273, member: 256592"] Hi, I went to [URL="http://www.satellitescommunity.de/beacon/2index.html"]Beacon_SatellitesCommunity[/URL] and checked out the Beacon frequency list. Very interesting! Then I tried to look at a beacon on 07.0°E Eutelsat 7A B: 11700.4 H (Widebeam). The nice thing about the SMA Simple Spectrum Analyser is the relatively high resolution, so I got this picture. Marker 1 is locked on the beacon, marker 2 on the nearby noise floor. The noise margin is just -1 dBm! No way this can be used to identify satellites, at least not with this kind of hardware! Anyway, the waterfall diagram shows that there is a signal - no doubt about that. I think that this tool could be nice for beacon hunters... [ATTACH=full]101250[/ATTACH] Regards, Vitor [/QUOTE]
