INMARSAT Reception Question Re Antenna
Hello,
Just a typical non-technical sw listener, and frankly now next to nothing re
antennas.
But do like picking up maritime and mil stuff.
Was thinking of trying out a new software Inmarsat program for receiving and
decoding Inmarsat msg's.
Apparently the freq. used is around 2 GHz
My NRD 545 wiuth the converter gets up there, I think.
They mention that you need a parabolic dish antenna, and I think it was an L
type downfeed feed.
Think a Discone antenna and reg. coax would pick up "anything", or not worth
the time to even try ?
Thanks,
Bob
