Satellite Antenna For SDR

Installation of a satellite antenna that I can use with my SDR setup.
The antenna is just the one that's for sale from rtl-sdr.com

From the kitchen, with love from the shed.

[@Cameronsutubes]

You going to but something under the antenna , so in a big QLD winds it doesn't slap against the tiles ?

[@stevekemble8911]

I hope you find some good signals. I would like to see a follow-up video showing your success.

[@TallPaulTech]

Yeah, me too

[@Jessassin]

There has to be something better than "dog shit on a roll" Thanks for sharing, hope to see what you do with the data

[@jamess1787]

You don't need the denso tape. Use the "mastic"/vulcanizing rubber tape, then wrap it in electrical tape. Just make sure you don't get dirt on the last bit of the second layer of electrical tape. 👍

amazing Job man :D

1:00 minute timestamp indicates that the description text might benefit from mentioning 1/4 20 UNC _(consumer camera mount screw thread) size._ This information is to help people. Having that fitting and a VESA mount (for servos to position at a satellite like say so an LNB, by means of KU-Band, can also get data and signals to and from Es' Hail 2 satellite's amateur radio transponder transmitting on the 3CM band)_ atop a grain silo and IBC (water) in refugee camps _(with a small screen at the bottom the height of a man)_ could be handy to send OpenID_OIDC_OAuth2_SimpleSamlPhp_LoRaWAN data for logistics of items, people and business allocation like graphical linear inequalities for moving pretty much anything with a pertaining Q-R Code (3KB) sticker on it, containing all such data and latitude-logitude-altidude cronjob and bearings for derived velocity and IPv6 unique identifier _(and A2DP, EDR bluetooth 5.2 and wifi 6 and ZigBee gadgets atop it with solar power and battery),_ tracking data via markov chains and gaussian heatmaps for disease, nutrition and so forth. Would be interesting to see a Q-R code sent/received by Data Mode like SSTV Slow-Scan-TV and the error correction tolerance of those Q-R codes, like say on a version 40 177x177 size. compiled data can be compressed as TAR ball GZ and only safely sent data is sent, so encryption can be used if needed (as a GPL, like GnuPG or BOTAN version). Some portable dishes allow for usb to remote in like RS232 serial for changing angle on a BASH script. My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

[@themaconeau]

You got a barking spider problem too? 😲🤪

[@therealdjflip]

Think I mentioned it in a previous video, but there is some very interesting and fun stuff in the band, techminds did a few videos on what you can pickup and decoding steps, I usually just monitor the inmarsat std-c messages, get the usual weather and pirate warnings, plus the odd email message. Iridium is a bit more complicated, but also contains some interesting stuff

[@TradieTrev]

Nice weather seal mate! Old school but effective, surprised the antenna design didn't encompass a little weatherproof hatch. Maybe the ubiquity gear has spoilt me ;)

[@goodfriend6428]

NICE! Thank you!

[@stormchaser300]

Hi Paul have you been able to watch digital tv on a pc yet with a sdr receiver v.3 yet instead of using a phone or tablet.📺📺📺📺📺

[@CoolKoon]

What kind of satellite antenna is this? Is it for geostationary satellites? Also just a heads-up: all the modifications you've made to that metal strip will cause it to start rusting a LOT faster. The screw too, because you've partially removed the protective covering (probably zinc plating on the strip and zinc-chromate coating on the screw). Just so you know.

[@frequencywatchers]

Damn, This Video Is SO COOL! I Wish I Could Own Such A Cool Things.

[@TallPaulTech]

I have to get around to actually using it

[@frequencywatchers]

@@TallPaulTech what do you mean ?

[@TallPaulTech]

I mean I haven't looked at satellites much really, but should.

[@MrDukeLeto]

Thanks for the great video! Nice to see a self-vulcanizing tape, I also use it in my job. I wanna ask about a Denzotape. How easy can it be removed from a previously sealed connection?

[@TallPaulTech]

It's easy enough... easier than the vulcanising tape. You just take it off like you put it on.

[@gravelydon7072]

@@TallPaulTech Three layers of tape if I want it water proofed. Vulcanizing tape, Friction tape, Electrical tape. Friction tape is a neater form of your Denso tape. To remove after a while, use a utility knife and slit it. Then peel it all off at once.

[@chriscowally]

More radio and RF stuff please

[@TallPaulTech]

Yeah I've got some other stuff coming up soon enough

[@JoneKone]

lookking good =)

[@CE4JDM]

My AirSpy SDR# does not stay in WFM mode when receiving NOAA sats. It jumps to USB mode. How can I solve this?

[@Ivansgarage]

Paul, what are you gonna receive with the satellite antenna? weather? ???

[@TallPaulTech]

One day I'll actually do something with it.

[@andresaponte5993]

great vid. where i can get an antenna like the one you installed? sorry for bad grammar

[@andresaponte5993]

shit i just read the descriptrion xd.

[@walt]

Do you have to protect against lightning strikes with the antennas on your roof? I keep mine within the attic because I'm not sure how best to deal with that.

[@TallPaulTech]

If lightning strikes my roof, I'll have bigger problems than that antenna.

[@CoolKoon]

"I keep mine within the attic" - lol

[@gravelydon7072]

@@CoolKoon Guess where the conduit with the wiring for the stove runs that was hit by lightning. In our attic. Welded a hot wire to the conduit when it did it.

[@CoolKoon]

@@gravelydon7072 I mean if any of your devices get directly hit by lightning then you're SOL either way. If you only get hit indirectly (via inductance) then your devices might stand a chance with the help of a TVSS. Antennas on the top of the roof should be equipped with a lightning rod anyway I think. Either way your antennas are not too useful when they're inside in your attic, are they?

[@gravelydon7072]

@@CoolKoon All our antennas are outside. What makes it bad for us is that we have a two story house in the lightning state. we already have had direct hits on this house and the previous house which was only a one story, got hit 5 times in the 17 years we owned it. Were they direct hits, well seeing a heating element impact the glass in the oven door would say yes. As would the TVs and clocks and the fact that the cable from the TV to the amplifier we were on and the rest of a whole block got taken out at the same time, yes. Insurance company refused to pay on the last time until an electrician came out and checked the wiring. As did the phone company and the local city owned electric company. All found that house properly wired and grounded. Such is the dangers of being the first house on a transformer that is connected to a 3 phase line.

[@rolly4x4]

Is there any part of the spectrum you can’t scan now?

[@TallPaulTech]

Sure... it's a big spectrum

[@rolly4x4]

So much easier on a tile roof compared to a tin roof

[@zerobow9413]

20m of coax you will lose a lot of signal, better to run a short jumper SMA-SMA and run a USB ext cable up to the roof near the ant.

[@ChrisWilson999]

Yes. Alternatively put a raspberry pi on the roof connected directly to the SDR and run ethernet down.

[@jim8395]

Thanks for your videos Paul, you have inspired me to start doing shit at home and record it for KZbin. Not the same polish as yours but as you say, if people don't like it they can go and get fucked :)

fart at 2:43 💨👌

Gotta be glad Paul stopped sawing, so we could hear it clearly and appreciate it fully 😀

Good old fart 😂

[@KJ-xt3yu]

Spray-on flex seal....

[@muctop17]

Wouldn´t it have been better to put that antenna onto the roof ridge? So it has greater view arround?

[@TallPaulTech]

It's directional towards the sky. There is nothing between it and the sky where it is.

very little info shared sorry almost useless vid
