Weather Satellite Reception

[coondogtheman1234]

I'm trying to do this. I have a radio that can pick these up and it's not a scanner but I need the right software. I have WXtoIMG but I can't get it to display right. also my radio seems to have out of phase audio from the headphone jack supposedly to simulate stereo would this affect receiving of images? And where can I download APTDecoder for windows?

Dude, that is fantastic! I really want to build one of those crossed dipoles myself, but space at my house is limited. Excellent improvement on your old design, much better reception! Well done =]

@JohnnyX50 Hi thanks for commenting. Well, Im on version three of this aerial now - basically the same as the one here, but with 20mm instead of 30mm pipe, and cheap telescopic antenna instead of the copper pipe. Works well. You could build a loft mounted QFH if getting an outside twig is a problem.

ive put this sound on my phone after recording it from my scanner and set it to go off on my phone about 30 minutes before the satellite starts to pass just to give me time to set up. havnt gotten a clear image yet but barely got something.

This may seem like an amateur-ish question, but could you make a tutorial on how to use the WXSat program? I'm having a bit of trouble figuring it out. :(

Sending you a PM mate.

Great work, keep it up!

Clever antenna, but what a botheration.

Have you considered using Fractal Antennas for this?

[stuntmasterzs]

Can you buy something similar that is prebuilt because i am not a very hands on person?

Many Thanks

Wonderful!- your use of "everyday materials "-is a joy!

What I really love is that you know what you are trying to achieve.

Great work------------keep your videos coming!

It is "nice "to see that people know about hacksaws and measurements.

Your neighbours will think " Little Johnnie is at it again? "

Hi, thanks for watching, and for the great comment.

Yes, there were a few odd looks from the neighbours, and as you can imagine, my wife was slightly apprehensive about having it bolted to the garage wall!

Thanks again.
