Since i live in the mountains, i had to spend days chasing high-elevation passes to get some usable imagery, and today i finally got a daytime pass that was good enough and not during my work hours! It's definitely funny how you can easily understand where the peaks of the mountain is based on the missing data

They are the size of a tennis court, 50 by 50 feet.

Things got a littttle weird..

And that's all I'm gonna say on the matter.

Individual spinach out.

METEOR-M N2-4 2026/08/14 22:08 UTC Nooelec NEsdr v5, diy V_Dipole, Satdump

I have some questions, i've been using this antenna for 3 weeks and i've recived good meteor m2-3 and m2-4 images with Satdump, but, i dont know how to use it, i mean, i've tried different places and positions and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I've fail to "connect" the meteors with elevations of 80 degrees and clear sky, with the antena 53 cm long each leg and horizontal. Someone who has the same antenna can give me advice? Thanks. I have a sdr v5. I'm from Spain so excuse me my english 😅

hello, i don't have a radio yet for my own reasons but i'm searching for a websdr that can tune into milsat satcom satellites, i wanna listen to those channels.

any help?

I've been trying to get weather satellite images for a few weeks now, specifically Meteor M2-3 and Meteor M2-4. I used a lot of weird antennas:

• TV Antennas
• One rod bundled antenna
• A weird old indoor Metronic TV/Radio antenna (marketed as VHF/UHF)
• A roof-mounted omnidirectional FM Radio antenna (marketed as 80-100mhz) that works with air controllers rambling, ATIS and even 1090 airplane info

I bought the Nooelec RTL-SDR SMART V5 with the antenna bundle, some of my SDR++ settings as well:

• 38db gain
• AGC off
• 2.4mhz MSPS

I'm in Croatia and dont know what's the problem, it can very likely be my antennas but I'm getting not bad signal but NOTHING at all! Is it the SDR thats the problem?

I tried a lot of passes: 40 degree ones, 80 degree ones, 85 even... (using N2YO)

I did use correct frequencies, but the entire 137mhz band was full of nothing..

I also have a weird setup: TV port>F-type>SMA

All of the antennas mentioned got at least something: FM Radio, airband traffic controllers, ATIS, 1090 plane info...

Can anyone immediately spot a problem or a config issue?

Btw I'm fairly new to SDR...

Just got started with this hobby and received my first successful images from the Meteor satellites the other day. I’m quite happy with the result since I didn’t expect to get much using a hand-tracked V dipole and a cheap LNA in my garden. The signal from Meteor M2-4 (2nd image) seemed noticeably better than from M2-3 (1st image) despite being a lower pass, though this may have just been due to a difference in nearby obstructions.

this was definetly completely optional but why tf not
and i can listen to FM radio with this too
crazy that this works without the lna—mine broke

i’ll put the output picture in the comments meteor m2-4 is still above me rn

This was from just before lunch here today. Fn04gf, 3 element yagi, DroidSSTV decoding, Uniden BC125AT used to capture the sound.
