It’s still the most…Looks like the RX-666 is a typical “new” product from China, they took existing open hardware and software ( https://github.com/ik1xpv/BBRF103…The biggest problem with that hardware (RX-666) is “Support software HDSDR customized version, SDRSHARPER customized version” and “Operating environment requirements:……well price aside what your missing here is the fact that you have a person/company/group who may have the skills… If the satellite is going directly overhead, you can use simpler antennas to receive the signal no problem. The very slow rotation of the satellite itself causes the signal fade which is because of Faraday rotation as the signal comes through the ionosphere which may or may not be right or left-handed (it’s usually random) and at times will reduce the signal and sometimes increase the signal.
Could that be the missing piece?Got it… Substituted a NooElec RTL dongle for SDRPlay and SDR# now tracks frequency. It may interest ham radio enthusiasts, hardware hackers, tinkerers and anyone interested in RF.So… That is why it looks like a clay-render. I use from either my home-based Wrasse KX-137P turnstile antenna or my home-made portable field version of the same. Each NOAA weather satellite broadcasts an Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) signal, which contains a live weather image of your area. The connection between Orbitron and SDR# is working, as evidenced by correctly updating display values in the Tracking DDE Client option in SDR# (frequency, elevation, etc.). It will then work properly.Robert, thanks for the info re the missing line under drivers. RG6/U quad has 100% shielding along the 15 m run to reduce RFI. In Orbitron if you go to the setting page the very last setting on the Extra tab allows you to change the active satellite automatically when the satellite comes into view.
Anyway, magnesium or not. Thanks for the information. Evidently, the frequency tracking feature is not compatible with SDRPlay.
There’s not even a trace of signal.I can get images from all the world or only from some parts of world? Nothing pops up in Orbitron! SDR# is not recognizing the line added to it’s xml file and orbitron isn’t recognizing the addition to it’s config. I’m also using an older version of SDR# (.1333) which is compatible with XP (dotNET 3.5) and have salvaged several “ancient” single-core, 1 Mb, Pentium M XP laptops ($25 each) for APT receiving systems. Blame the photographer…. You may need to periodically adjust the frequency to center the signal as the Once the image has been fully received, you can play with the options under the Enhancements and Projection menu in order to add false color and enhance the received image.It is not entirely necessary for these NOAA satellites, but if you want the Doppler effect to be automatically adjusted for in SDRSharp or you want to automatically record all satellite passes then you can use free a program called Orbitron, which with the aid of a plugin, will interface with SDRSharp.HELP – I am getting no signal from any satellite. Then I noticed that volume bar in WXtoimg is red and the level is only 7%.I think this must be the case but have no idea to rectify it.I tried sound setting of the windows also but no improvement. With an ohm meter you should have open between center conductor and shield. (not that i’ve been actively looking for one for three years, just recently had the very same problem;)EDIT: quotation marks in new line should look like all previous ones in plugins file.
Is there another permissions issue for the two programs? I really thought it was grey plastic. Thanks again!Guys, I have a simple question about the construction of a coax QFH.So I was looking for something that can decode the signals.. However I’m still not seeing SDRSharp as a driver option in Rotor/Radio. The Scheduler checkbox is checked, but no satellite commands are reached / executed. It is inevitable how satellite imagery is being used in a lot of way and how it helps us with our concerns. I hope it works for me.I think the antenna think is really overstated. Deberás obtener buen resultado ))RTL-SDR (RTL2832U) and software defined radio news and projects.
Currently only NOAA satellites 15, 18 and 19 are operational, their frequencies are shown below.An example of a NOAA APT weather satellite signal is shown zoomed in and out on the frequency spectrum directly below and an example audio file of the signal is shown further below.WXtoImg is a free weather satellite decoding program which can decode the APT signal, and also tell you the times and frequencies of the NOAA satellites passing overhead. YouTube user GaitUutLiern shows an example of receiving NOAA satellite weather images with a RTL-SDR, SDRSharp, a decoding program called WXtoImg and a QFH antenna.Here, YouTube user themrworf1701 shows a video tutorial on how he set up his weather satellite receive station.
