[QUOTE="ArloG, post: 1162364, member: 418555"] Back again. How about some recording tips? My gut feeling tells me that I need to record RF using 120 kHz bandwidth. I've been recording so far with maybe 3.8 MHz and squeezing the IF bandwidth down to 120 kHz in HDSDR. It has been awhile but using the last SDR# that works with my radio with the Metoer demod plugins. And all of the steps needed to get a final image. I was able to. And as far as RF gain. I am able to get a "screaming" signal using my proper QFH antenna and the radio preamp on. NOAA APT sats. are never an issue even approaching the horizon fringes. Overhead and close to passes using wxtoimg always come out sweet. It's getting the RF levels correct that seem to be an issue in getting a good OQSPK constellation. So far I get just blobs of green scatter in the window. Is there any leeway or AGC built into sat-take-a-dump that handles not so perfect recorded input files? Tips? Anyone? [/QUOTE]
