Couldn't the frequency of the received beacon be measured by the ground station against a GPSDO and the uplinked beacon frequency adjusted accordingly?

Hi Robert,
Many thanks, I've got KGSTV running and receiving pictures now.

Thanks for the reply, Heiner. I used a different program from the ones you told me about and it didn't seem to work whatever standard I chose. That's why I wondered if there was a popular standard I could try instead of stabbing in the dark!
I'll try the programs you suggested.

There seem to be digital and analogue Slow Scan signals on the satellite. Could someone tell me what standards are being used as there are numerous formats available. Also I would like to hear of any recommendations for receiving software.

Do you see plenty of noise from the LNB? Their output is usually huge. When a friend of mine thought he had tried everything, he eventually found that his LNB LO wasn't at the frequency he thought it was on, so it might be worth tuning up and down a bit.

Building the same setup here. Waiting on Kuhne and Icom (9700) now . You can also use the GPSDO for your icom9700. It has a 10Mhz sma connector for 10Mhz reference.

I've heard that the 10MHz input connector on the 9700 is for calibration, it doesn't actually lock to that reference.

Can't you get friendly with the Stairway to Heaven people and ask if you could use their structure to gain access to the clifftop?

Hello,
does the Software support SDRplay RSP1A?
I tried this software with my RSP1A but wasn't successful, maybe I did something wrong.

I'd be interested in that too.

Email Matt matt@m0mat.co.uk He has access to a good range of attenuators.

Could the display be brighter? It's difficult to read the parameter boxes on my phone.
