[QUOTE="River Patrol, post: 1001246, member: 409898"] I have been completely through this thread twice to try to glean all the information here concerning C-Band JAERO reception and have started getting some items to try this when the weather gets a little warmer. I take it that a 1.2 size dish is a good compromise between gain and being able to maintain a signal on birds such as Inmarsat 54W 3F4 so I'm looking for something in that size range and have already purchased a Titanium C1-PLL LNB. I have a good shot at 54W as I can receive L-Band JAERO from inside the house on a RFSpace Vivaldi antenna (see pic). 3F2 15W is a possibility and I've heard there are T-Channels on 4F3 97W as well from my location. I've never seen more dedication toward receiving C-Band signals than through the efforts of Vipersan and Confucian! You guys are an inspiration. A couple items I noticed that was discussed several times were issues with SDR# and I was wondering if any of you have ever used SDRconsole by Simon Brown?
