"content": "A revelation courtesy of SatDump author Aang: move your SDR and long, noisy USB cables away from your L-band feed and replace them with a longer coax instead! I've improved my satellite setup up to a max of 18.7 dB SNR now on NOAA 19 and Meteor M2-3. I also have consistent Metop captures for the first time ever. Now I need to look at replacing the RG58 with lower loss stuff, like some LMR variant.\n\nhttps://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/111/625/006/075/769/534/original/73f4c414201f69e9.png\n\nhttps://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/111/625/006/177/452/707/original/905145a65735d403.png\n\nhttps://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/111/625/006/272/928/033/original/5ee2aa68ac9c8609.png\n\nhttps://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/111/625/006/594/060/426/original/8e2f5068d04b65bc.png",
