Pardon my skepticism but by the time any satellite signal reaches
earth you're talking signals in the nanowatt range. Thats the reason why
you need a beam and preamp, or a dish with a LNA. And you want
us to believe a consumer grade RS handheld can do this feat with
just a rubber duck??????? Come on.

It is definetely possible, BTDT. Why should there any difference to my
satellite handheld phone, which also works just with some flimsy
antenna?!
