Working on a dual S/X feed supporting simultaneous RHCP/LHCP RX . There are 2x S band BPFs, 2x LNAs connected to Lime's Ch1/Ch2. A simple GRC flowgraph streams over UDP to 2 SatDump instances. The coupler/120 deg phase shifter has been based on Maarten Baert's inspiring work.

Following up , some more details and notes about combining 2 linear orthogonal (V/H) polarizations in Gnuradio and a link to the grc file have been uploaded to my page. Please see below: sv1cal.com/circular-pol...

Working on a L/S/X triband feed for WX/EO satellites. Have been using a partially 3D printed L/X feed so far, but it was time for an upgrade. Pictures show the ugly prototype in the focus of my 1.4 m dish on the balcony. It looks promising but more testing is needed of course.

A while ago, I made a 80cm fiberglass dish. Alu tape made the surface reflective . Here I am exploring other alternatives like adding copper powder to polyester resin or painting it with conductive paint followed by copper plating . More on the page below: sv1cal.com/diy-fibergla...
