SATELLITES ON YOUR SCANNER
Many people are often amazed when they find they can hear signals from space , whether it be voice or weather satellites which a pc running suitable software can convert into pictures....
WHAT DO YOU NEED ?
The two main peices of equiptment are a scanner capeable of receving from 137 to 138 mhz , a computer running win 95 or later , a lead to conect the scanner to the computer (e.g 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack ) these can be inexpencivly bought from maplin,tandys,ect
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The system works by the scanner being pluged into the LINE IN (recomended) or the MIC socket on your soundcard
AERIALS
For reception a vertical whip or discone will work but you wont get the best results , a pair of crossed dipoles would be ideal
