Another great & very informative guide! Recently acquired an RSP1A and your guides have been the key in getting excellent results from a simple wire antenna and older laptop PC. After 50+ years in amateur radio, your SDRs, website and guides are simply the best! Thank you & 73 to all of you at SDRPlay.
I have one with a HF diamod dipole, it is impressive what is received with that receiver, I came up with the idea of installing a filter to suppress the commercial FM band that I have close to home and if it was impressive before, now it is twice as impressive I receive much more signals, EB5HDT, 73.
I've got one on order, but unfortunately, Amazon was out of stock so it's coming from China. I currently use a patch antenna from NooElec which works really well on 3-F5 but is marginal on 4-F3 (98 W). SNR is 8.5 and in 7037 frames, only 33 lost. Tekmanoid decodes it well. Hoping this new one will perform better.
@@SDRplayHamGuides HI thanks so much for the reply, I'm decoding ACARS ok using the Jearo software with my L Band patch antenna using a RSP1A, I would like to try to decode AIS any idea what the frequencies would be ? thankyou
@@drmisfit Sorry, I don't know the frequecies used, I'm US based. You can try the SDRuno frequency banks provided here www.sdrplay.com/sdrplayhamguides/
I bought the previous antenna, and never could get an Inmarsat signal here in Oregon. I tried for several weeks, and just ended up sending it back to Amazon. Is this antenna substantially better than the previous one. I'm using a SDR PlayDX.
At my location its much better than the previous L-Band patch antennas I used. You should pick up something off 4 F3 on 1.537.700.000 pointing the antenna south and a bit to the east www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=33278
@@SDRplayHamGuides Thanks. Last time I had an app that showed the satellite locations in the sky. Guess I'll order it and see what happens. It's been about 20yrs now, but I worked with Inmarsat and Motorola out of San Diego putting Inmarsats on US Navy ships. I did some early Inmarsat tests out of Pensacola using the USS Lexington as a test bed.
Connect the antenna to Port B of the RSPdx. Enabled the BIAS T Run the RFGAIN at max Use this link www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=33278 to help point the patch Tune to 1.537.700.000 and you should see signals
i bought a patch the same antenna and the sdr blog v4 dongle but do not see any signals anywhere do i need a LNA also. was thinking this is all you needed to see signals

Fantastic video, thank you
You're very welcome.

Thank you for good test.
Most welcome, Video was a little short but I do plan on revisiting this using JAREO for AERO Satellite ACARS & AERO C-Channel Voice decoding.

My location and weather was not ideal. You should certainly see a difference with this antenna
got it today mike
like and sub mike i have some new used peanut acc on my patron site
I was tempted to make a funny face for the video thumbnail
Hi Mike does the AIS use the same sattelite for ACARS I'm in the UK ?
Not 100% sure but you should be able to monitor it on Inmarsat-4A F4/Alphasat at 25° East

No LNA needed. The BIAS-T of the device will power it.
I have a RSPdx. Using this antenna, what else can i receive? Thanks :)
Inmarsat, Iridium, GPS and other satellites that transmit between 1525 - 1660 MHz
Hi ! Where can i find this antenna please ?
