[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 974216, member: 325666"] So ..spent a whole day on this ..out in the sunshine .. glorious ..and barely a cloud .. Moved the Helical back to the 1.5m ..(Carl) Fitted the LNA4ALL in one of those neat black ally boxes I got from China.. but not before I upped the value of the cap on the input coupling the Helical element .. No idea what it is/was ..but added another 680 pf in parallel.. Still using Airspy at the antenna ...and the 20mtr screened USB repeater ... If it stays nice tomorrow ..I hope to move the Helical back to the 1mtre dish to see if I can lock ...well ...anything really from the 10500 streams at 1.546.050 But ..I got mt first taste of data ... So ..that will drive me on ... Gutted though that the only way forward might be to include the Airspy inside the Helical die cast back box .. Pity I can't use a cheap RTL dongle for this job ..rather than tie up Airspy in this way .. Expensive hobby this is ..fer sure.. rgds VS[ATTACH=full]93941[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
