Count me in 😁 So a few years ago " back in the analouge days" i split my Optus B3 satellite feed between my then Foxtel box providing 13.8V's up to my 10.7Ghz Lnb down converting between 1Ghz & 1.3Ghz to my high end Analouge Icom receiver that went from 30Mhz to 3Ghz non stop." Whilst flicking between 1.0Ghz & 1.3Ghz I stumbled across a retransmission of the Pacific oceanic 8.867Mhz transmission that I regularly listened to as well as the secondary retransmissionS for 5.643Mhz & 13.261Mhz I was wrapped the extra stuff I could hear on tje satellite & the increadible clarity that I could hear transmissions from Brisbane, Auckland, Nandi & Sanfran was just out of this world I was hooked then one day after a couple of years it all come to a screaming end when Optus turned off the Optus B3 Analouge transmissions in favour of digital transmissions & I didnt have a digital radio for many years after that to go and re chase these transmissions. As a part time commercial pilot I get to see a lot of the aviation communications infrastructure that is normally out of sight of the normal person & at of Melbourne's biggest airports ( Melbourne international also known as YMML & Morrabbin also known as YMMB) next to the control towers are 2 x Huge sat dishes clearly for sat comms. One thing that has become evident over the last few years in Aust is the amount of aircraft landing & taking off without "Voice comms" no doubt clearances are being given "Electronically" by way of data. It would be really cool if there was someway of they of us following your channel "Aviation Communicatiins Series" could share our findings with each other. I take it you know about liveatc(dot)net its a great way to monitor world wide atc comms on the web. Really looking forward to this series. Regards Wayne Melbourne, Aust.
@FrugalRadio3 жыл бұрын
Hi Wayne. Great to hear about your ability to pick up a satellite link of the HF feeds. That was a fun experiment to perform, and a great idea. I never tried booking up my satellite dishes to wideband scanners back then. Although I was able to monitor lots of news feeds and studio backlinks at the time. Interestingly a couple of the MWARA stations had their own HF frequencies. For example I heard that Shanwick had a direct HF link to Santa Maria which they used in preference to the telephone when coordinating with each other. I never received it, and only recently discovered from an Air Traffic Controller that it existed! It is nice that you've got access to what most folk don't see. As a private pilot I have been able to access such areas as well at times. Always fun! And yes, I know about the live ATC site and use it occasionally 😃

Excellent. Was just going to say the 118-136 MHz band should yield plenty of activity in Belgium. I expect you'll also be able to receive some military airband communications as well. It is much harder to find the frequencies just by searching, but if you known anyone that can give you some active frequencies you may also find that interesting. They will be 225-400 MHz. You'll be able to see the TETRA signals in the 380-410 MHz band as well. If they are in the clear, you can use your SDR v3 to decode them. If you are near the ocean, try Marine Band from 156-163 MHz. If you are near cities, have a look for some private business radio traffic. If frequency allocations are generally similar across the globe you'll find them somewhere in the 400 MHz range. I would start searching 450-470 MHz, but there might also be activity in 410-430 MHz. Last time I was in Bruges was before SDRs were on the market, so my help is limited I'm afraid! Happy listening!

A VHF tuned antenna will work well for you then. You can make your own dipole, which is quite simple. Centre it on 127 MHz and it will work well across airband. If you'd rather purchase a pre made unit, try something like the following www.ebay.com/itm/354906366777?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Y_4Jq2z_Rb-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY For portable use, a VHF magmount, or even an amateur radio dual band antenna will work. Alternatively you can connect a two way or HAM radio shop, and ask for an antenna solution you can cut for 127 MHz. If money is no object, you can get a DPD base antenna.
@rickymunoz9389 Жыл бұрын

Welcome to the channel Nick. It has been interesting observing the changes to HF communications now that may aircraft are using CPDLC. In this region of Canada, a lot of the high level VHF has gone the same way - aircraft neat check in with "Speedbird 43 on 134.9, CPDLC" which the controller acknowledges. And that's the last you hear. That was part of the reason I wanted to get into the data decoding. Now at least I can still see the instructions they are receiving from ATC!

I haven't performed a direct side-by-side comparison of the two. With them running different software as well, it is a little difficult to do a good test. I'll say this though : in my location with many high power transmitter masts nearby, the extra filtering in the RSP1A is very beneficial, and allows me to have a cleaner signal a lot of the time.
