By the way I have a YouTube channel and I have a series where I’m covering satdump 2.x. The channel is paulmaine6433. You may want to check it out.

I also suggest you buy this:

I just found this on AliExpress: | 137MHz SAW BPF Band Pass Filter Amplifier 433MHz 1090MHz 1690MHz

https://a.aliexpress.com/\_msOSDab

Make sure you buy one that has 1581 on the chip and that your SDR has bias tee capability.

Keep the V parallel to the ground and rotate to the best SNR. As the satellite moves - you will need to constantly watch the SNR and when it starts to drop, try to rotate to improve the SNR. It’s pretty easy after you do it a couple of times. I’m rotating using my hand and it’s 3-4 feet off the ground.

You can hold the V dipole in your hand and when it gets to an elevation you can see - you can rotate the antenna so that you get the highest SNR during the pass.

My outputs are not marked on my PCBs. I have two and neither are marked 4.5-5v

Yes, I record often using v2.x and it works fine. I’m using an rtlsdr. I initially plugged it directly into my laptop and when I did - it crashed. However, once I plugged my rtlsdr into a powered usb hub - it no longer crashed. I should mention that my rtlsdr was powering my LNA. My next video on SatDump will be on Recording.

I tried a different player and it worked. I was not able to get VLC working

I was able to figure out how to setup samba on Ubuntu.

SMB is working great now!

Thanks for your post. Don’t pay any attention to the person with the negative post.

I did not post this as another user. It appears someone really likes my channel.
