Hi,
short introduction, I am Ben, radio amateur from the Netherlands ( Callsign PE2BZ ) and I like to find orbiting satellite signals and identify them with the use of strf tools.
strf tools
For now I have received signals up to 3400 MHz and the beacons from starlink in the KU band.
I am now trying to receive orbiting signals in the KA band, 18 GHz, for amazon / kuiper satellites.
I started with CoPilot about the LNB with model number 3d2LNBR0-02 and the usability to tune into 18 GHz with IF output to an SDR (HackRF and Adalm pluto available) which suggested that for this LNB I had to power it with 21 Volt DC and 22 kHz inserted to switch to the 18 GHz RHCP polarity.
Now, after ordering the LNB from the US of A and checking with copilot again it tells me I need some special command to send to the LNB to have it switch to that frequency which has to be sent from a directtv receiver which I don't have.
Is there any documentation which describes how I would manually be able to set the LNB to my preferred frequency range ?
Thanks for your time,
Ben
