[QUOTE="s-band, post: 1120312, member: 407744"] [USER=307188]@zorrin[/USER] That splitter should be fine and, as you say, it makes setting the LNB band and polarisation easy. Most systems will have plenty of gain without using the extra amplifiers that you showed. I use SDR# and HDSDR but the basic operation is similar on most software. Attached is a screenshot showing the settings I used for Eshail 2 beacon. You should be able to see a significant increase in the noise floor when you turn the LNB on. For satellite use there's not much need for wide dynamic range so the RTL-SDR is OK. If you are looking at narrow band signals (<few MHz), which is all you can see with the RTL-SDR type, you really need a PLL LNB or you'll have trouble with the drift of a DRO.
