For satellite reception we want it in axial mode.Ī page showing a turnstile antenna for 137 MHz is here.Ī Quadrifilar Helix (QFH) is a circularly polarized antenna that can be constructed out of PVC pipe and coax cable. It can be built in two modes, normal and axial. Turnstile AntennaĪ turnstile antenna is a circularly polarized antenna. Three options for easy home made circularly polarized satellite antennas are presented below. Satellite antennas are also designed to receive best from signals coming from the sky. The NOAA APT weather satellites broadcast their signal at about 137 MHz, and their signals are also right hand circularly polarized (RHCP), which means you will need a right hand circularly polarized antenna to properly receive the signals. You can use either windows stereo mix, VB-cable (free) or virtual audio cable (paid with trial version). Audio piping will allow the audio from SDRSharp to be passed to a decoding program. You will also need to have an audio piping method installed and set up. If you have not bought a dongle yet, see the Buy RTL-SDR page for information and the check out the Quickstart Guide for an easy setup routine with SDRSharp. We will assume you have the RTL-SDR dongle set up and working already. So it may be safer to download from the above links if they have the file you need. We suspect this is just a false positive, but we cannot guarantee what happens on third party sites. NOTE: In 2022 this site has begun getting flagged by antivirus programs as 'risky', and may be missing SSL certs.

July 2018 Broken WXtoImg Links Update: A fan has put together a clone of the WXtoImg website which contains most download links. The Windows version and some Linux versions of WXtoImg can still be downloaded from.

June 2018 Broken WXtoImg Links Update: Note that at the time of this update the WXtoImg website is down, and may never come back as it appears to have been abandoned.

#SATELLITE DOWNLINK SOFTWARE#

Software such as WXtoImg for decoding the APT signal.A right hand circularly polarized antenna tuned to 137 MHz.VBCable, Virtual Audio Cable or Stereo Mix) (Or other more advanced SDRs such an Airspy) An RTL-SDR dongle working with SDRSharp.To set up a NOAA weather satellite receive station you will need: YouTube user GaitUutLiern shows an example of receiving NOAA satellite weather images with a RTL-SDR, SDRSharp, a decoding program called WXtoImg and a QFH antenna. Also, an alternative tutorial for decoding NOAA satellites that uses rtl_fm can be found here. Note that if you have success with this tutorial, you may also be interested in decoding Meteor M N2 weather satellites which provide much higher resolution images. Hardware radio scanners can also work, provided the radio has a large IF bandwidth (30 kHz +) and a discriminator tap.

#SATELLITE DOWNLINK HOW TO#

This tutorial will show you how to set up a NOAA weather satellite receiving station, which will allow you to gather several live weather satellite images each day. Most parts of this tutorial are also applicable to other software radios, such as the Funcube dongle and HackRF and Airspy, but the RTL-SDR is the cheapest option. The RTL-SDR dongle combined with a good antenna, SDRSharp and a decoding program can be used to download and display these live images several times a day. Each NOAA weather satellite broadcasts an Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) signal, which contains a live weather image of your area.
