Hello Mac,

True, the RSP2 does quite well with satellites. Over the past couple of years I've likely used the RSP2 more than my FT-857D for getting the downlinks.

It very well may. The RTL-SDR.com site has a choice of filters for sale. But how much more money should be thrown at a $100 experimental Fox Telemetry receiver designed to be an inexpensive, deployable unit. The goal of making a $10,000 super satellite station is not part of the system requirements for this project. Nor is the expectation that it is a primary satellite station in the shack.

It is a fun project though!
