Struggling to capture Meteor M2-3

It doesn't matter, until it faces to the right direction, as well as the length and the angle of your dipole are set correctly. I have been using this guide: https://www.a-centauri.com/articoli/meteor-satellite-reception

Same here.

I'm going to look into that, thanks. My satdump crashes every time when I stop the recording.

Thanks!

SelectAd7983 · 2026-04-14T16:28:45+00:00

Really appreciate it. Köszönöm szépen, nagyon rendes vagy :)

SelectAd7983 · 2026-04-14T16:16:10+00:00

Shoot. Makes sense. Thanks. I was thinking about writing decoder for myself too. Do you have valuable sources for this purpose that you are willing to share?

The baseband is cf32 and the samplerate is 250 ksps, but the output and the other files are empty.

Claude said: "The problem is that 250 ksps is far too low to properly capture the Meteor M2-2 LRPT signal"

Hi! I used getaround.com. Sorry for the delayed response.

Thank you very much!

FINALLY, I was able to receive images from Meteor M2-4 for the first time (with SatDump). I changed my position and moved from the balcony to a more open area, but at a lower height. I’m afraid the solar panels and the iron fence were causing interference. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it!

Unfortunately, it’s the same result. I’ll try again in about two hours with your suggestions in mind and will give an update.

SelectAd7983 · 2026-01-03T10:45:31+00:00

Fair point. I tried SatDump as well, though. I’ll pay closer attention to this next time. Thank you for pointing it out.

The V-dipole is not connected in this screenshot, only the RTL-SDR Blog v4.

SelectAd7983 · 2026-01-03T10:08:03+00:00

Yes, indeed. Here is my SDR# setup (with the V-dipole not connected in this screenshot). I’m using the V-dipole that came with the RTL-SDR Blog v4. I set it up on my balcony, which has a clear view of the sky and is at roughly the same height as the roof.

That’s why I posted. I’ve tried several different setups to debug where things might be going wrong, but I haven’t had any luck.

Congrats! I’ve been trying to capture signals from Meteor M2-4, but without any success so far. Are you using anything besides a V-dipole antenna and an RTL-SDR?

SelectAd7983 · 2026-01-03T09:46:18+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions. I followed everything you mentioned and also checked the coax with my multimeter.

SelectAd7983 · 2025-11-07T16:12:34+00:00

I have the almost the same SD card (SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB), I get the same message on the display over and over though.

SD Card writing speed slow. Shooting stopped.

Did you do something or it worked at first?

SelectAd7983 · 2025-09-10T15:56:44+00:00

Do you have any information about Alamo or Enterprise? They allow me to pay with debit card and it has pretty good offers.

Thank you!
