The idea came from a QST article, Jan. 2013. Using an European TV dongle to receive VHF – UHF and an UP Converter to receive Zero to 30 mHz. Parts came from …

Po imenu na Hackadayu, žuji i zlatnom dukatu, slikama i tak, zaključujem da

Nice video, the idea of receiving weather satellites is not new, but your
video presentation is good.
No problem 🙂
how does sound card proceed this action? they are only for 20Hz – 20kHz,
sat. frq is around MHz.
You have a great place to keep an eye on high altitude balloons! You should
check out ukhas(.)org.uk/guides:tracking_guide
You can see it at the end of the video, what kind of music do you propose
for this kind of video?
Damn you, now I have to try this!
Wow, amazing work. Thank you for sharing it with us. The sound track was
excellent also.
Is there a way to take a picture a mile or 2 beneath the surface of the
earth? Like to see if there are caverns underground?
Horrible music – what is that garbage?
Wow, I’ve been wanting to do this but the dedicated recievers are way over
my budget. Thanks.
What do the more technical ham radio operators do when there isn’t any
chasing weather? Oh, there is plenty. Here is an example of amateur radio
innovation. Receiving satellite imagery in real-time right from the
satellite itself. The more you dig into ham radio, the more you find
possible. How to take NOAA satellite pictures using RTL-SDR for under 50$
Hi! First question: Yes! Second question: You can tell that you are tuned
by watching waterfall spectrum on SDR, when you get near with tuning, you
will get higher and higher amplitude on your spectrum, you will see that
noise will be higher and your signal too! You need to be little careful
because variable trimming caps are small and while you turn it around about
5°, you will sweep about 2 MHz on spectrum, so do it slowly and watch
spectrum! I hope that you understand what I just said 🙂
Excellent!! that’s clear for me! I’ll definitly give a try to this preamp,
Thanks again.
No problem! 🙂
Hi ! Superbe video ! thanks for the sharing ! I’ve got two noobs questions
regarding the preamp: – “tapped at the first turn from ground lead side”
means you unwrapped a bit the wire after a turn and solder the C2 cap here
? – “turn trimmers to tune to desired frequency” How do you know your in
the right frenquency? Can you tell how you tuned it ? Thanks ! Anthony
No, I said, that it would be good to make filter, so the airport cannot
interfere with NOAA signal, LC Filter was on my mind.
Hi, why don’t you record with the sdr’s record feature? instead you are
recording with wxtoimg?
Hi Mustafa! I tried that first, but I get fuzzy picture that is not
synchronized well, it seems that my computer deforms signal in some way,
than I tried directly, and I get a lot better picture! 🙂
thats literally the coolest thin I’ve ever seen
Thanks 🙂
Very nice. Do you think that a tabloid is capable to run these softwares or
is it small? Thank you.
GREAT VIDEO…
THANKS
with which mode do you get the audio, fm,am,raw…?
Is this possible on a raspberry pi this would be great in a car
Simply amazing demo! Thanks for taking the time to run through it all.
Please do some more 😉 73’s.
Nice video Steve ! I have the up converter also but cant get the signals !
The sdr program and sdr dongle are ok ! Please message me Thanks mate and
73’s 2E0GGO.
Hi there Steve. Sorry I didnt give you my e-mail albatross579@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks Steve..
Steve, nice video. Please tell what the AM filter’s name is. It was not
quite visible
Steve, thank you for the very nice demonstration of the RTL Dongle and
100MHz up converter! NG9D
ICE filter 402x. It is rated for 100 watts and can be used with a
transceiver. They have one for receive only at less cost. I’ll put the link
in my video comments.
How do I message you?
Great demo – thanks for walking through the software a bit!
Great video – I’d like to visualize longwave – will the upconverter go that
low?
How do you protect the Ham It Up (HIU) unit from overload when you transmit
on your HF transceiver? Do you have to disconnect the antenna from the HIU
unit? I have a kenwood TS590 100 watt transceiver and wish to use the SDR
to find activity on the HF bands and then us the 590 to transmit.
Thank you for the excellent descriptive comments of how and what you are
doing. That skill is missing on so many videos, your is fantastic.
Hi Steve. Nicely done. Back in KY. Trying to tap into the RTL dongles
with my software, and feeling pretty stupid about it.
