Currently I have my LNBlock downconverter mounted at the antenna. It is a High Sierra Microwave 432M7.
The antenna is a Uhf Ringo ranger set at the boiiom end of the band. It is 25 feet up right now. So, how do I realize more signal level? Using my FT-950, both preamps on I can hear signals well. I have about 75 feet of RG-8X coax at the output of the converter to my shack. The test paper shows 25 DB gain. I expect this has to be on the UHF side. I am thinking of a "eggbeater style" antenna to start with and then some hieght for that. Passes are doing well to the horizon. Looking forward to feedback. 73, Alan _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
