Adding a new feed to a C-band 3m dishes off of Aliexpress

Hello Im still trying to make this a thing!

I have found a relatively cheap 3m satellite dish meant for use with C band TV signals. Would it be possible to change the feed for the Meteosat Second Gen raw data reception?

Thank you! If you have any ideas on what SDR to use, please tell me!

First decent capture of a noaa apt signal

This is the first time that I recived a good noaa apt image.

I have lost some signals in the start and in the end of the pass, but before that, I was having problems to decode the signals because of RTL AGC, and i would like to thanks u/Eth72419 and u/LEDFligther for helping me on this!

This pass is from noaa 18, and I noticed two tings.

1- I used audio format for this pass, from yesterday, but today I tried again, but using baseband, and the images weren't so good.

What can it be?

2- I tried to recive dsb signals from both passes, but i was not sucsessful. I just got some lines of image, some white, some orange or red, some black.

What can it be?

After all, I'm very happy with the results, and I'm going to try it again and better as soon as possible!

??? Reception of Weather Satellite METEOR-M N°2-3 and N°2-4 over West of Europe ???

Hello everyone, I have been trying to receive images from the METEOR satellites in VHF in my region (Belgium) for months. Is there anyone who has been able to receive even just an hf signal. For information, I have no problem with NOAA 15, 18 and 19. Thank you for your answers.

Have a nice day

Can you get images from ones lokking into deep space ?

I see a lot of images of us and our weather (which I admit I haven't done yet) but I'd love to see images of those galaxy clusters and stuff 😃

Satellite for the Poor.

Can I use a Baofeng, or even TWO Baofengs with an Arrow antenna to work amateur radio satellites?
