(Fully Automatic Amateur Satellite Ground Station). FAASGS is an open source program that allows RTL-SDR users to set up a satellite ground station that tunes, record and generate images for NOAA APT weather satellites, as well as records FM amateur radio satellites. The software runs on a ...

The imagery presented on our main web page, is NOAA APT imagery, which is transmitted by NOAA satellites at radio frequencies of 137.50, 137.62 or 137.9125 MHz, FM. You may have noticed that your broadcast FM radio tops-out at 108MHz. If you could keep spinning your radio dial beyond 108...
Various providers now offer a basic text messaging capability using smartphones talking to satellites. Today, this capability is often limited to emergencies (“SOS”), and it is relatively slow. With time, this capability will certainly improve, and basic satellite texting will become ubiquitous on...

Otherwise it may take the receiver hours or more likely days to derive this information from the satellites. Remember this is relatively old GPS technology and the reason the unit is surplus. Set the software to the SURVEY mode. Go away for a couple hours and let the receiver do it's ...
(UHF; 300–3000 MHz) have been subject to exploration by amateurs at the leading edge of communications technology. Amateurs bounce signals off the Moon or ionized meteor trails, and communicate through amateur operator-built earth satellites called OSCAR (orbiting satellites carrying amateur radio)....
Prior to the advent of earth-orbiting satellites, very long range communications like between continents was dependent on the state of the various ionosphere levels. There is never a completely predictable "open" channel from point A to point B. A satellite repeater, however, while not ...
