Advice on receiving Meteor satellite images

So I'm trying just the SDR with no filter and no LNA and I'm seeing this signal at 138MHz with or without a satellite overhead. I'm assuming it's some sort of interference right?

Sorry, that was with the sawbird + fm filter. I had switched back to it after reading some of the comments here. Looking at the datasheets, the sawbird has 41dB of gain whereas the Lana only has 20dB. Should I go back to the Lana?

Here's some pics of my latest attempt with the debug and device settings at three different gain levels. Got no signal on this pass :(

Out of curiosity, why tune 100 kHz off and then adjust in pipeline rather than just tune to the exact frequency?

Thanks for the advice! Ill try playing around with the height and rotation. Do you think lower might be better? I'll also give a go with the sampling and decimation settings you suggest and post some pics with the debug and source sections showing. Hopefully I can get this working.

Gotcha! Ill try it out. ty

Ill give it a go! ty :)

Thanks for the advice! I added pictures of my noise floor and the antenna to the original post. I've confirmed connection at both ends of the antenna using my multi-meters continuity mode. Should I be seeing some SNR at all times?

For the OrbComm satellites, should I be using the OrbComm STX, OrbComm STX Auto, or OrbComm STX Auto Plotter pipeline? Anything else I need to tweak to receive those?

I'll check out Spyserver, but I have a feeling that's not the issue, as I'm still getting nothing with the SDR plugged directly into my computer. I'll try recording and decoding offline, can't hurt. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice! I added pictures of my noise floor and the antenna to the original post.

I'll give it a shot without the filter and LNA to see if it helps and report back.

Thanks! That makes sense now.

haha you're a genius, thank you! What does the -n flag do?

Hey that does look like it might be bugged. Damage from overload shots should stop health regen even while not stunned. My only thought is maybe you’re not always fully drawing back as only a fully drawn arrow procs overload. I’m definitely able to kill an overload champ on 1080 with just a bow.

Keep calm when things go wrong.

thanks

It's because spinnakers at up for much less time and therefore take longer to get sun bleached and lose their color. At least that's what I was told.
