Regarding Observation 11924061 …
Hello all! I’m new to satellite observations and eager to learn. I’m leaning towards the waterfall here being ground noise with no satellite observed but would like to get a second opinion.
Thank you!
Hi, and welcome,
looking at the observation metadata, the gain (SATNOGS_RF_GAIN) is not set.
This means that the sdr will be pretty insensitive to the incoming signals, setting it to something like 20-30 to start with would be more sensible.
More info on the wiki.

Awesome, will look at playing with gain today and go down that research path in-depth.
Thank you so much!

Also the frequency is 137.900. You should get a nice fat 50-100 kHz band showing up fairly early into the pass. Good luck!
Edit: Sorry were you looking for Meteor M2-3 or M2-4? There have not been any observations recorded for M-2 for a long time - I thought it was dead.
