Checking Out The Discovery Dish - A Simple & Easy-To-Use Satellite Antenna For Everyone!

People have been asking me to review the Discovery Dish (https://www.crowdsupply.com/krakenrf/discovery-dish) so here it is! Big thanks to KrakenRF for sponsoring this video and sending me a dish to check out! You can find them at https://www.krakenrf.com/ The Discovery Dish is a simple, lightweight satellite antenna that can use various feeds for different radio bands. I tested out L-band (1.7GHz, S-band (2.2GHz, Inmarsat (1.5GHz) and H1 (1.4GHZ). I found the antenna to work really well for L-band satellites like NOAA and Meteor, and OK for weaker satellites like Metop. It also works great for geostationary GOES satellites. I should note that this might not work for some European geostationary satellites like Elektro or GOES-15, although I haven't tried those myself. The S-band feed also works fairly well, and could probably be improved with a motorized tracking mount or additional amplifier. It might have some potential uses for Wifi as well. The Inmarsat feed is great for looking at Std-C, Aero, and COSPAS-SARSAT signals, as well as GPS and Iridium stuff. The Hydrogen Line is still a little mysterious to me, but this looks like a great starter for basic radio astronomy. The radio astronomy software I tried can be found at https://github.com/byggemandboesen/H-line-software, I'll try to do another video on this when I have time to get everything working.
