10 GHz - setup

 

TRX: - TRX IC9100 144 MHz IF - TRV 10 GHz DB6NT- 4G - 220mW 10368 and 10450 MHz

VLNA: - DU3T 0,7dB N/F

SSPA: - OK2AQ - 52W RF out

 

Feed horn:

05/2017 - Kumar ring 180cm PF dish - EME expeditions

09/2019 - Prodelin upgraded feed 240cm offset F/D 0,8 - Home QTH

09/2020 - Channel Master offset dish F/D 0,6 - 240cm with original feed horn - Home QTH

 

Antenna:

New offset dish 2,4m

Offset dish 2,4 m Prodelin

Prime focus 1,8 m portable setup

 

30/04/2024 - RX performance of home QTH system with 2,4m offset dish

SN/CS = 16,66dB by 138-SFU, GN/CS = 4dB,  MN/CS = 2,2dB

(blue sky, 20°C, 43% humidity, IR-29°, el 46°)

 

 

 

For measurements I use SDRPlay with Console3 SW, which has a nice cntinuum extension. IF is 144 MHz.

 

 

 

Here is a view of the TRV placed in the focal point of the dish. The original funnel with chokes for F/D 0,6 is used as feed
