If I remember right you need to restart SDRC after changing the setting as Martin proposed.
Kind regards

Dear Alexandros,
thank you very much for your kind offer.
As the construction obstacles should be removed by tomorrow Monday I do not think it is necessary.
Nevertheless I have forwarded your offer for support to the operators of the groundstation in Bochum.
Kind regards

Hello,
there is some heavy construction work ongoing at the groundstation oinm Bochum.
Some of the equipment is presently shading the dishes for QO-100.
This should be corrected the latest on Monday and all beacons and LEILA back to
nominal operation.Kind regards

Hi George,
I am sure you will be able to optimize the design.
Good luck.

Dear all,
I measured the filter with my HP8753E.
Below please find the results.
Kind regards

Hi George,
you have apparently a calibration issue of your measurement setup.
I do not think the ripple in the passband of your filter is real and so is the S11 curve.
If you do not have the proper measurement setup I can offer to you that you send it to me
and I will characterize the filter for you.Kind regards

Hi Georg,
more than 3dB insertion loss is in my opinion way too high.
Not only close to the cutoff frequency but even down at 1GHz.
Hopefully soldering the contacts will help. Probably clamping the discs
would be better (lower loss) than soldering them but as you have chosen
this path I wish you good luck.Kind regards

Hi Georg,
that looks very professional, it seems you have a very nice workshop.
It will be interesting to see your measurement results.
I got the primer and the glue but have been away from home for the last 2 weeks.
I might get back home next week or the week after and then plan to make some tests.
Kind regards

Hi George,
Kurt DJ0ABR built a very nice 2.4 GHz LPF and documented it here:
https://projects.dj0abr.de/doku.php?id=en:sat:filter2400
I guess it is quite similar to yours.
You may compare your results to his.
Kind regards

Hi Stefan,
I have been using the LimeSDR USB (not mini) for several years with good results.
I also have a Pluto and cannot confirm one or the other is more sensitive / better.
Kind regards

Hello Frank,
I for instance use Hamnet and know quite some people who do. It is also used as a backbone for packet radio links and for access to terrestrial DATV repeaters which are out of range for a direct access.
As Peter pointed out: "... this would be for direct User / Client access only. Gateways or traffic between Gateways will not be permitted and this is not planned by design either."
As Guillaume explained above his concept supports "Multi users: probably one or several dozens of simultaneous users. " and "Full-mesh : client stations communicate directly with each others".
Let us wait for the evaluation and conclusion of the expert team.
I am very excited to see such an additional use of the wideband transponder.
Kind regards
Matthias

Hallo Georg,
Danke für den Tip.Ich habe mir den Primer und den Kleber mal bestellt und werde es ausprobieren.

Hi George,
thanks for the explanations.
I now understand.
Please let me know how you glue teflon.
I have not found a good way to do that thus I am interested if there is a proper way.
So far I have clamped my teflon sheets as a window in front of my feeds
but if there is a way to glue teflon that would be easier.
Kind regards

Hello Pietro,
the selected output of HSModem needs to be an output device. You can use a soundcard output and connect it with a patchcable to the input of a soundcard but you cannot choose the input of the soundcard as the output of HSmodem.
Therefore it easier to use a virtual audio cable (in my experience VAC works best).
Kind regards
Matthias

I agree. I just wanted to point out, that even with a cumbersome antenna, you will have good results with a dish that diameter. My first antenna was the 4 element yagi pointing into the dish , the 2nd was a linear polarised patch feed without waveguide for the lnb and the one i'm using now is a poty . Learning by doing, improving over time. It is more important to have a clean signal, may it be not so strong. The LEILA triggering signals are for later, and even those are clean, if you overdrive NONE of your gear......
Regards
Martin
P.S. : I don't encourage anyone to trigger LEILA.
Hi Martin,
yes, we should not overpower.Looking at the transmit side for the narrowband transponder a smaller dish is clearly enough.
The big benefit of such a large dish is on the receive side especially for the wideband transponder and for transmitting
DATV signals.See you soon on QO-100.
Kind regards
Matthias
