Beacon image?

I have just set up my receiver again. I am getting an image of the lower NB beacon (10,489.500) on 10,489.722 MHz, so 222 kHz higher. I'm assuming this is generated in my equipment, but I'm posting to check that a weak signal beacon is not broadcast. It is about 2dB over noise.

I'm using 1 1.1m dish feeding an LNB with a 27 MHz reference oscillator, feeding an RTL dongle to GQRX on Ubuntu Linux.

Can anyone hear a signal on 10,489.722 MHz?

A weak signal beacon would be useful!

Matthias,

thank you for that confirmation.

Hi Graham,

no, there is no spurious signal of the lower beacon at the frequency you mentioned.

Kind regards

Matthias

I also for what would be a weak beacon

was on an NB transponder.
