Dear all,
I haven't found many people on the air using Kurt's software, so I decided to bother you on this forum.
I have been wondering whether my receive path is good enough. The signal levels I get with the AMSAT-DL software on the narrowband transponder with RX bandwidth = 2.7kHz are:
- Lower beacon: 29dB (when there is no Morse).
- Middle beacon: 22 to 23dB (0Hz centered on response null).
- Upper beacon: 22 to 23dB (beacon centered on 2.7kHz receiver bandwidth).
Are these numbers realistic or is my receiver deaf?
Any replies or opinions would be most welcome. Thanks!
