Hi thanks for visiting my listing. Here I am offering my HRPT antenna which I use to capture Meteor-MN2, Metop and NOAA19, NOAA18 images.
I make it myself (handmade) using my design skills and 3D Printing. Please see photos of the actual images it has captured. By buying it you can buy my experiment. I will be grateful for experiences, and also it help me to invest in improving future versions. 100% Made in England by myself.
Package includes:
1x Tripod
1x Tripod Mount
1x Folding Umbrella Parabola Dish
1x HRPT 1698Mhz Helical Antenna Feed attachment
It is a Folding Portable Parabolic Dish Antenna Set for HRPT SDR Amsat LRPT NOAA INMARSAT 1.7Ghz
1698Mhz 1.7Ghz Helical Antenna Feed LHCP SDR airspy AMSAT WEATHER SATELLITE
This is a Folding Portable Parabolic Dish Antenna + Circular Polarised Antenna Feed SET
Specifically for receiving HRPT Weather Satellites (tested on NOAA_19, Meteor MN2, Metop) using an SDR adapter with a PC.
It is tuned with correct phasing for LHCP L - Band Satellites.
It is very lightweight! It can be folded away and carried in a bag and travelled with without difficulty.
The dish can also be used with different feeds such as my other Inmarsat 1.5Ghz feed should you wish to.
I use the antenna to handtrack passing satellites either with or without tripod (See pictures for correct way to hold it).

Item is Lightweight and delicate, handle with care, build with care, secure tripod to ground with weights or tent pegs.
I recommend adding weights to the tripod feet to keep it stable or to prevent wind from blowing it.
Also just like rain umbrella I don't recommend using it in strong wind.
If you require a custom setup please let me know and I will do my best :)
