Hi
Just got around to install with SDR Console and will be playing around with the Satellite portion.
Question: for testing on rx, would a discone or dual band vertical work best ? (before I set up the real antenna - Elk on a rotor)
Any input appreciated

For passes < 15 deg, I use an Arrow dual band J-Pole to receive and it does very nicely on XW-2A, 2B, 2C, CAS-4A, 4B using SDRC v 3.0.4 and an M2 Eggbeater on the uplink. For < 15 deg I use the M2 (2m) Eb 73, N0AN Hasan
