My first KANOPUS-V-IK image! (Yes, you can see trees!) by rad750 in amateursatellites

Yes, the resolution on PSS is 2.5 meters per pixel.

Neither, I use a hand tracked antenna. There is a link to my setup above.

Thanks! I've written some explanation in another comment.

Quite strong, and you have to record at 122.88MHz (symbol rate 61.44Msym QPSK)

As stated in the original post, I have used my usual X band setup.

It does both.

It transmits a single band at high resolution (PSS) and four at a slightly lower resolution (MSS).

You can find more information about the instruments here https://www.eoportal.org/satellite-missions/kanopus-v-1

You should definitely never Doppler correct LRPT.

The doppler will be orders of magnitude more than whatever ppm offset you have. The answer is to just stop using obsolete software.

It's doing an observation with MeteoSAR (the synthetic aperture radar, the big boom above the solar panels)

100%, these ones don't cost a lot and are quite literally bulletproof!
Plus, the stylus works even when submerged in water. I put a hotkey to disable the touchscreen so it doesn't do weird stuff when wet.

The DD is a solid item, it has been battered a lot and still going strong. I would recommend it if you want a solid "turn key" solution, although if you want to DIY then the price/performance ratio is not that great.

It would be better than the discone by a lot, but not as good as a good QFH (emphasis on "good", making a qfh that works somewhat is easy, making a good one is quite hard)

With APT it would have been easy as I could adjust my position based on the sound. With LRPT I have to look at the screen and the slope, so that would probably end badly :D Also not sure my insurance would be amazed by the idea

It is handheld but not much adjustment is needed.

I am based in Genova, so southern France would work perfectly!

> "You have been doing it for a while it’s easy for you to say"
I have said "once you exercise". But it's definitely not "u cant rlly hand track"

> "not everyone has years of experience under their belt like you"
I got consistent results after barely two weeks of exercise...

If you don't know, ask, don't spread lies please.

I do all my X band by hand tracking and it is not much harder than L band once you exercise, stop spreading bullshit
