Home Assembling:
Conne ting GroundStation it´s easy.
Only need a PSU for 12V or ( 13,8V) 5A minimum,
two oaxial TV 75 Ohm ables for satellite with the size
you find ne essary to onne t Groundstation to the outside
LNB fitted on the dish.
.
Conne t the F onne tors orre tly from Groundstation
Cable 1 : LO UP to LNB´s input LO
and
Cable 2 : SIG IN to LNB´s SIG
WARNING- Never make these onne tions with
Grounstation ON. There is 12V Phantom Power on the
able and a short- ir uits will be very easy to happen if life
wire tou hes the shield, damaging the Groundsation.
Conne t the GPS antenna to GPS input ( SMA onne tors)
GPS antenna must be outside with lear visibility to sky.
The antenna is waterproof, but will be good to fit it inside a
plasti bag to avoid rain damage.
In some ases it an work on a window, even inside.
With a SMA able or adaptor onne t IF to your UHF SSB
radio.
OUT RF to the transmitting antenna
