Planning notes and unresolved items for the PSB Physics Ground Station.
This page tracks planning notes and unresolved items for the PSB Physics Ground Station.
Coax attenuation may be a problem because the coax run is long for the dish antenna frequency.
A future 2 m antenna may require an N-female to PL-259 adapter.
Future work may include connecting radios to the UCF Ethernet network for remote connection.
FLRig can interface with and control the transceiver.
Orbitron can be used for rotator control.
SDR Console can be used for SDR control.
DHCP was off during testing.
Ethernet was connected from the transceiver to the PC.
The PC successfully pinged the radio.
Confirm whether the rotator controller powers the rotator or whether a separate power cable is required.
Gather complete dish antenna information, including use case, cable type, and connected equipment.
Confirm the exact rotator model installed on the roof.
Confirm whether the installed rotator is the 12 V or 18 V model.
Confirm cable specifications for the approximately 100 ft run from the lab to the ground station.
Acquire one USB hub or extension cable.
Acquire one long HDMI cable.
