This is a resend. My apologies if it shows up twice. ............. With the help of some Velcro, I mounted my Outernet patch antenna to a flat, smooth, 10 x 12 inch aluminum cooking sheet and set it indoors on a tablet stand. I angled the antenna at 50 deg. above the horizon and pointed the stand in the direction of the satellite. Antenna pigtail is at the bottom. LNA is connected directly to the pigtail and Outernet SDR is connected directly to the LNA. I used a 9 inch USB cable to connect the dongle to my Raspberry Pi 3. With this setup I was able to increase my SNR from a max. of 1.7dB to > 5dB. A very easy setup that now makes it possible for me to download Outernet files.
