Tried to download the NOAA18 weather satellite picture with the RTL2832, but the signal didn’t last for very long. Probably need a better antenna which is circularly polarized.
NOAA stands for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and their satellites transmit live weather images.
Currently using an outdoor J-pole tuned for around 130Mhz.

The 28th Annual Trenton Computer Festival (TCF) will be held this year on May 3rd and 4th. at the New Jersey Convention Center in the Raritan Center, Edison, New Jersey. The theme for this year will be ÂWi-FiÂ. This yearÂs keynote address will be given by Marge and Bruce Brown (of Extremetech), the first time in 28 years that a husband and wife team has given the keynote.
Wi Fi is taking the world by storm. The WiFi brand has been so successful that what was originally a certification standard for one wireless networking technology is now commoditized to the point that many use the term for all wireless technologies and devices. While many segments of the PC business have struggled for the past two years, wireless networking continues to extend its reach into small and medium businesses.
Together, Marge and Bruce Brown have tested, evaluated, and written about literally hundreds of SOHO (Small office, home office) networking products, including all current wireless and wired networking technologies.
TCF, the oldest and longest running personal computer show, will have ninety (90) plus speaker sessions and forums, hundreds of indoor and outdoor (flea market) exhibitors, product demonstrations, ham radio testing and a special exhibit area all under one roof. For more information visit the website at: tcf-nj.org or tcfshow.com.
The not-for-profit organizations sponsoring TCF include The Amateur Computer Group of New Jersey (ACGNJ), Princeton Chapter ACM/IEEE Computer Society, Computer Society, IEEE Princeton Chapter/Central Jersey Section, Computer Education Society of Philadelphia (CSOP), Central Jersey Computer Club (CJCC), New York Amateur Computer Club and the College of New Jersey Engineering Department Scholarship Fund.
Admission is $ 15.00, advance tickets available on line for $ 10.00 using PAYPAL.

A repeater is used to expand the coverage to all floors. Basically, when you transmit on your portable radio, the signal goes out and is received by the repeater and is re-transmitted or “repeated” at a higher power to cover a greater distance.

- Allows Base & Mobile Antennas to Connect to Handheld Antenna Jack.
- Approx. 3ft Cable with SO-239 on one end, & SMA male on other.
- High Quality RG-58.
- Fits most Yaesu, Icom, Alinco, Kenwood & TYT Amateur Radios.
- Keeps Strain & weight off & away from HT’s Antenna jack.
This Cable accepts a PL-259 from Base/Mobile antennas, & adapts it to the Female “SMA” style jack found on most Amateur Radio hand-held. It will not fit some of the models that require a female sma interface. To see if it fits your hand talk radio just unscrew the antenna and make sure it has a connector on the bottom of the antenna with a pin inside. Your adapter cable will screw into your radio and allow you into hook up to a standard Ham antenna lead.
