Great video Matt, thanks! Can you please tell me where you got the dish from as I am building my own ground station for QO-100 and would like to purchase the same dish as the one in the video. Thanks.
Yes I was driving the Upconverter with my TS2000 directory. A DX Patrol amp might not require a pre amp if used with their up converter. I was using a EReon amp which requires a 400mW input for full power.
I am a newbie wishing to upgrade from a LEO satellite operator to a GEO satellite operator. Are there options to start without giving in a 10 MHz signal, a setup which builds its own signal like a stand alone HF radio or VHF/UHF radio? 73 de Jon, VU2JO
There is the DX Patrol ground station, which is essentially an upconverter, a downconverter and an amp all in one box. You still need a radio or two for receive and tx though. QO100 is kind of specialist, but even "off the shelf" products have a lot of configuration.
This is seriously cool stuff you're doing Mat! Happy new year.
Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year. Happy Hamming.
You’re welcome! :)
You’ve certainly got a better signal from the new location Matt and with the dish ground mounted!! 73 Gm4zji Chris

Thanks for comment, but I honestly can’t remember. I guess it would of been Amazon or eBay, don’t think I’ve bought a dish from anywhere else before.
Are you drinving the TS2000 directly to the converter? And why a preamp between the converter and DXPatrol amp?

Does the 705 do 1296? (it would be better if the radio was at least showing one of the 28/144/432/1296 freq too).
The 705 doesn't do 23cm. Only up to 70cm.
The image is a placeholder for what ever transmitter you want to put there :)
As per specs the DX Patrol PA has an output of 12W/28V. How does it compare (experience) with your SG Labs PA of 20W?
