Derrrrr silly sod I need to connect 3 dongles so will need 3 instances ! LoL

Thanks Bill I will have a look at that this evening. I should be ok I have a Proliant server with twin quad core 3.0ghz processors , not over endowed with memory (8gig) but that can be fixed easily enough. Not sure off the top of my head how close my six VFO's are but will probably only need two...

Great post , sorry didnt get notification that it was there. I tried the USB Viewer that will help me a lot it looks like i need to get some decent usb extn cables. Will need to have an in depth look at SDR Console. 1 Can you run more than one instance. ? 2 Can you allocate a VFO to to a...

The RC2000 looks just the thing but I fear would be out of my price bracket but creating an lnb mount that would allow the lnb to be moved is a possibility worth considering, wish I still had my old Mechano set :-)

Ha , wondered why it was in "Red" on dishpointer Lol

97W , now you have started something ! Lol 8.7deg Elevation from here may cause a problem, I will have to do a survey later (when the wifes not watching me LoL) SDR# hasnt been to bad for me but will have a look at SDRconsole always nice to hav other options. I have two/three issues to solve...

1.2 dish has been proved to work ok on 15W but 25E & 54W may need something slightly larger but I suppose your location will come into it. I use 1.4 offset on 15W & 54W and 1.8 prime (petaled) on 24E , nothing scientific in this just what was available second hand and cheap at the time.

Welcome RP, not noticed anything, Just tried to download and everything seemed to work ok. I have 3 cband dishes working at the moment but looking at trying the Lband in the spring.

Thats Knackered it, never find anything now. Lol

The mast as pictured was 65ft but .................. it lost the top 20ft section in a storm a while ago and I havn't got round to replacing it yet. I got the poles from a local TV installer who had recovered them from a customer. He told me that over here they regularly go up to 100ft using...

I have now but started off with various home made efforts the best being a co-linear made from a strand of 2mm copper wire with loops at the relevant intervals and the Bi-Quad which was more compact and worked well, weather proofing was the main problem so when I got into the Satellite stuff I...

I made a scaled up version of one of these which worked quite well.

Admin edit - this deserves its own topic so Ive split the relevant posts off the "aero thread" discussion. A/S Nice one Chris, get that "twig" outside up a pole. ! Heres the latest "splat" from my 1090 setup, the range rings are set to 50 miles and the colours represent altitude.

Serious stuff, this time i'm actually going to put a project in a box :-)

Good idea, may need to enlarge the holes as the smallest I have are a tad to wide or visit hardware shop :-)
