Handheld Cyberdeck Dish For Live Satellite Data

In this video I'm trying (again!) to get some L-band satellite signals with a re-purposed wireless networking dish. I've got a helical antenna feed made of scrap wire and a cookie can, a software defined radio, and a Nooelec SAWbird+GOES filter to boost the L-band signals.

I initially tried using my MobileDemand tablet / "mini cyberdeck", but it turned out to be too slow and laggy to record High Rate Picture Transmission (HRPT) data streams. A regular modern-ish laptop worked much better for that.

I'm using SDR++ to record the signals (https://www.sdrpp.org/)

I'm using SatDump to decode the data into imagery (https://www.satdump.org/)

Here are some resources I've found helpful for doing this:
