Re: RSP2 operating and/or Bias-T supply on over a long time

Hi Susan, Having sidewalk hot enough to cook an egg on in the summer is not unusual here either. If you are using the RSP2 on a really hot summer day outdoors in direct sunlight, you will likely notice that the black case absorbs radiant energy pretty well and the internal temperature gets a bit toa...

Re: RSP2 operating and/or Bias-T supply on over a long time

Hi Susan, Within the recommended operating temperature range and within the current-drive range of the Bias-T port of the RSP2, running a low noise preamplifier with filter (70mA at 5VDC) continuously for weeks at a time, I have not seen the Bias-T problem that you are describing. This has been done...

Re: HRIT and LRIT Geostationary Weather Satellite Image Reception

Nice LRPT image and QFH. The amount of gain required by your antenna depends on factors such as your location in relation to the geostationary satellite (distance), the transmitted power of the satellite, and the SNR and gain of your LNA. There are European weather satellites that are designed to tr...

Regarding FLDigi and the RSP2, it sounds like you have made a lot of good progress and will likely be answering questions on this forum helping others, once you get it all figured out. Just a few notes for you: 1) Garbled text can occur, b...
