Looking at the manual for my Chaparral CR-10 c/ku band receiver that I mainly use as a dish mover for my FTA receiver, I notice that it has separate outputs for Base Band and Data. The BaseBand output has settings for Deemphasized, Emphasized, Unclamped and Clamped. There is also a terrestrial interference filter that can be switched in. Would using Baseband or Data output to an SDR receiver give better results than using the Loop Out on the FTA receiver?
SDR C/Ku Sniffing?

Can't get to that thread - I get this error message: You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.
no I don't think that would work. The baseband on an analog receiver was the result of the first FM demodulation of the analog signal, in which you would have found the color subcarrier at 3.58 or 4.43 MHz and the the audio subcarriers at 6.20 and 6.80 for most US signals and often 6.65 or 6.50 for European signals. Now with digital stuff, I would just expect the baseband to be an unusable mess
Got him too!Looks like KE4EST needs to grant you access as well
I had to closely monitor everything on G3C from the day it went live at my last job. There is a special 10MHz wide Ku transponder that shuffled data and telephone calls between a US site and several Latin America sites. You could see it all with an SDR but would need an appropriate modem to demodulate things and proper equipment to see the date or hear the phone calls. I believe this has been abandoned in the last several years and the traffic has moved to another satellite.
Otherwise I can't think of anything that can be received and actually heard off G3C with an SDR.
On 95 C-Band, maybe. There are some on 95 KU. Radio stations.
