The UMKA-1 satellite has turned on it’s SSTV transmission on 437.625 MHz FM Robot 36-mode. Strong downlink that should be possible to receive with a simple yagi without elevation.
Equipment used:
- RX at 437.625 MHz FM
- 2 x 13 el LFA X-Yagi (InnovAntenna) on at horizontal polarisation during this pass
- AlfaSpid RAS az/el rotor
- LNA Mini-70 from SHF Elektronik
- LMR-400 coax
- RTL-SDR v3
- SDR-Console v3 with doppler correction of downlink and satellite tracking, rotor control
- PstRotator for rotor control interface between SDR-Console and RAS controller
- RX-SSTV v2.1.5
- VB-Cable: virtual audio cable for piping audio from SDR Console to RX-SSTV. Set to 96 kHz and 16 bit.
