Hi All,
I've recently become interested again in working some of the satellites that are still operational. Back when I was active 4-5 years ago I was working FM only and now want to get back into it and try FO-29 and AO-7 as well. I purchased a SDRPlay with the hopes of using it as the downlink receive and already have a Yaesu FT-857 (that I'll set to low power) or a cheap Chinese HT as my uplink depending on the satellite. Are there any others out there who use the SDRPlay for this purpose? I know Patrick (WD9EWK) has used one before and I have been corresponding with him via e-mail but was just curious if there were any others out there that do as well.

Matt, I put the "amateur" in amateur radio, but I find that the SDRPlay works great for satellite reception (FM or SSB).
I only have FM transmit capability, but I often monitor the SSB satellite passes and it sure makes it easy to have a visual indication of where the downlink signals are located. I have nothing but the highest admiration for the years that people have spent finding downlink signals with a conventional radio where you can't SEE the signal, but have to hunt for it by tuning around. Just amazing.
Anyway, I don't think I could go back from the ease of use that an SDR display gives you on finding downlink signals. Auto-doppler tracking is an nice bonus, too!

If that’s directed at me, Bob, I’ve tried many of the various SDR apps and find that HDSDR suits my needs the best.
I track with Orbitron and that can tune HDSDR for doppler if you wish. Auto-doppler tracking works great for FM, but SSB seems to be more of a moving target at times.
As someone else mentioned, the ability to record audio with the SDR app is great, too. One thing that might not be obvious is recording the entire band, not just the frequency you’re working. For SSB satellites, on playback, you can tune over to other signals and listen to other QSO’s if you’re curious to see who else was on.
But take my experience with a grain of salt – I do much more telemetry reception than voice satellite work.

Matt, I am also using the SDRPlay for downlink along with a FT-817ND. It works great and seeing the downlink signals makes it very nice. I also find it easy to maintain a centered freq. when you can see your own signal coming down if you run two antennas. The only issues I have noticed are, one sunny days make it difficult to see the laptop screen, and two running a radio, computer and tracking with an Arrow antenna on a tripod take a little to get used to. I really like seeing the signals, tracking satellites with the SDR Console software, and being able to record the qso's right in SDR Console. Great stuff!

Hi Matt,
I use a SDRPlay with HDSDR as my satellite downlink receiver. For uplink, a FT-817nd with an Elk antenna (or Arrow).
