*Not all dongles are compatible with SDR# and CubicSDR.
#WXTOIMG RTL SDR PORTABLE#
This set-up is based on the RTL-SDR dongle kits (£35), which come with a dongle, adapter, extension cable as well as a portable dipole antenna. Ideally, the USB cable should be no longer than 3 metres to avoid interference.

a USB A male to USB A female extension cable (£5-10) and a short cable or adapter to connect your dongle to your antenna.The cable needs a male SMA plug to fit into the dongle. The RF cable should have 50 ohms impedance. an RF cable for connection between antenna and dongle (£5-10).AMSAT UK turnstile antennas come with the adapters and cables you need for satellite reception but no dongle-you need to purchase one separately. We both use a turnstile antenna from AMSAT UK. An antenna capable of receiving circularly polarised transmissions:.Funcube Dongle Pro+ *Not compatible with CubicSDR (£150).RTL-SDR V3 is the cheapest, reliable and most adaptable dongle, in our opinion.NOAA 19 N 80 W 18-03 BST Multi-spectral Analysis What you need Hardware Please get in touch if you would like to contribute instructions for Linux or another operating system.

Other software and hardware setups are possible! Importantly, the guide is limited to Windows and MacOS. We document here only a few ways to receive an Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) from active National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites. If you use the guide, please send and feedback: what worked, what was missing or could have been clearer?

This guide is a Beta version and is currently being tested! Testing may take longer than planned as due to supply chain issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic some hardware components might be temporarily unavailable. The orbits of the satellites are configured so that one of the three passes almost every point on the globe every three hours. These satellites are particularly interesting because they constantly transmit an easily decoded image signal of what they are currently watching. NOAA operates a series of meteorological satellites, designated NOAA 15, NOAA 18 and NOAA 19, which circle the Earth in polar orbits. Think about it - you can receive images from a satellite almost 1000 km above you! This is an incredibly exciting project, easy to do, but one that takessmells great pictures. You don 't use anything other than your computer, software and a $ 20 radio dongle can receive transmissions from NOAA weather satellites in the sky.
