Ok, OK,
25.9 or 26 is the same thing for our antennas.
Seeing is believing.

another useful link to align your dish.
On the left your QTH and on the right the satellite position, 26 ° E
The rotation of the LNB called LNB Skew is important

yes Peter,
WB beacon passed first at 5000 SR, then at 3500 and then disappeared.

Hi Lucio,
I'm using the same version (B iI suppose but where is the evidence ?), still having issues with Mititioune express HW. I'm fighting a lot to have a best results, I can decode only down to 1 M/s, below it's impossibile. I downloaded the version :
MinitiouneV09beta8_9 package.zip
73 vy best
Alessio, rev B does not require HW modifications.
Page 29 manual.

Alessio, which version do you have the A or the B?
I have the B and I have no problem even with weak signals.
-
I suggest to put the new version in a different folder from the previous versions and to use only the minitiouneConfig.ini file of the latest version.

poking around in my folders I found this useful tool. I hope it's useful for someone

Alessio, no problem here with MiniTiouner Express HW.
ciao

And what is this stuff?
as if so many stations simultaneously activated the carrier
But right now there is no active station
???

Thank you all for the comments.
the cable is H100 and the amplifier is underpowered, everything is set to have a maximum of 3 Watts at the antenna. Less than 10 Watts come out of the house. I know it is not ideal to drop the cable with more than half the power but also in the IF there is a waste of energy. The advantage of having everything at home justifies (perhaps) waste. The system is disassembled in a minute ready to be transported to another site.
ciao, Lucio

The receiving part of QO-100 was ready when the satellite was still on the ground. I planned two different setups. The first for the fixed station and a second one for the operations in /portable.
In the fixed QTH I mounted two antennas; 1 meter dish for the RX (Octagon TWIN LNB) and a second 85 cm dish for the TX, 4 turns Helix antenna.
All the equipment is mounted in the house and the antennas are 22 meters away. This is a choice made later, after checking the satellite in orbit. Everything is naturally ready to go directly under the antennas but at the moment it is not needed.
Some photos that give the idea. In the future I'll put the photos of the second setup not ready yet.
P.S.
All the holes in the case, the mechanical works, were made by my friend Pino, IK0SMG.

New Version MiniTioune_V0_9beta8_9.exe
Now OK with Minitiouner-Express.

The only dis-advantage was the decreasing of the downlink signal with in-focus but this was expected before.
See both solution depicted below.
it would be interesting to know the value of these losses with this solution.

I'm not sure I used the program correctly, but first I try and then read the manual. It's a classic.
Different setting, different result.

HDSDR.

with SDR# RTL-SDR-V3

Here 1 mt dish + octagon LNB
