[QUOTE="Satspot, post: 1162365, member: 417005"] Finally got delivery of the Nooelec v5 USB dongle and installed it in Windows 10. Drivers installed and Satdump. The Nooelec terminates in an SMA female so I got an SMA male to BNC male adapter just to use an old whip antenna I had lying about. All seems to be in working order and Satdump is clearly receiving signal. My question is, what would be a suitable antenna to use for receiving the 137x MHz band. I’ve seen some off the shelf very simple and inexpensive solutions and some very convoluted and expensive solutions so not really sure what route to take from here. I can cut and solder on the DIY side so that could well be an option. All suggestions welcomed. [/QUOTE]
