Vehicle-mounted satellite antenna is a kind of small satellite communication earth station which is carried by various types of vehicles including commercial vehicle, SUV, MPV and other off-road vehicles, and communicates when the vehicle is parked. Compared with the ring focus feed satellite antenna, the offset reflector satellite antenna has the advantages of high gain, low sidelobe and small size. At the same time, the designed vehicle static communication satellite antenna has excellent electrical performance, stable and reliable structure, and has good practicability. It is widely used in emergency response departments, troops, news gathering and other industries. Antesky provides antennas in C-band, Insat C band, Ku, Ka and X-Band with various diameters (from 1.2 meter–4.5 meters) available. Antesky 1.8m Vehicle-mounted satellite antenna is one of our best-selling products, which is very popular in the market because of its excellent product performance and reasonable price. Customers from South America and Asia feedbacked to us that our antenna with low noise temperature and high gain can well meet their receiving and transmitting needs.

This month we delivered 1 set of 1.2mVehicle-mounted satellite antenna with C-band after debugging at our factory. Please refer to this previous 1.2m Vehicle-mounted satellite antenna with Ku-band shipping as well.

2. System Characteristics of Antesky 1.2m Vehicle-mounted satellite antenna

Conveniently installed on top of commercial vehicle, SUV, MPV and military square cabin without wearing roof;
The reflectoradopts a structure of carbon fiber skin and aluminum honeycomb sandwich. Compared with the traditional aluminum reflector, the reflector in the form of carbon fiber has the advantages of light weight, high precision and easy molding.
The feed bracket adopts integrated casting molding process to achieve accurate positioning of the feed and ensure excellent electrical indicators.Reasonably structured antenna feed arm, suitable for BUC/ODU installation;
Equipped with high GPS precision and strong anti-interference of electronic compass, which ensures the stability and the accuracy of the program to point the satellite.
Strong operability that person can operate by “one-key pass” function without training
The antennas can automatically align to the satellite within 3 minutes in an open and safe place.
Antenna operates more safely with multiple protection functions such as automatic alarm, mechanical limit and software limit.

Creating a kml file in web page with javascript

If anyone is interested in creating a kml file for input to Google maps to draw a pologon I have explained what I am doing here:
https://www.satsig.net/satellite/export-kml-file-download-from-web-page.htm

To try it:
Go to that page and click to download the kml file to your Downloads folder.
then open Google Earth.
Then Add a Local kml file and select the one at the top of your Downloads folder.
The result is Google earth view of part of the USA thus:



This is work in progress as I hope to be able to add this feature to the satellite beam drawing program so you can save multiple polygons and open them all in Google Earth.

Comment please to me eric@satsig.net

We are looking for second-hand iDirect DlCt, DLT R linecard, and various brands of second-hand modems.
If you have in hand, please contact me.
Thanks!

wonderful paintings!

I remember reading Prelude to space when I was a teenager....

My uncle, Roy Carnon, drew lots of space art and sci-fi type drawings and artwork.

Four newly discovered book cover images have been found, see below:



If you want to see more go to:

If you know of any more artistic works by Roy Carnon or can provide any stories etc about him please tell me and I will add.

Best regards, Eric.

Installation Site: In Myanmar

Installation time: May, 2022

Project introduction:

Firstly in 2020, client from Myanmar purchased us earth station antennas including 2.4m VSAT antenna and 3.0m VSAT antenna. These antennas are with high quality and good price. Client had installed on their site and they operated well with local network. In this April, they also ordered 1 set of 1.0meter portable flyaway antenna for emergency communication locally. In mid-May, we had completed testing and debugging. Now we are waiting for client request to ship out. As mentioned, every year we prepare ready stock for flyaway antennas , which makes our delivery time can meet within one month.

Regarding the Satlink WS-6906 satellite meter, there is a copy of the manual on the internet at https://ftp.dipol.com.pl/TV,TV-SAT/Miernik%20WS6906/6906manual.pdf

The Satlink web site at http://www.sat-link.co.uk/store/SatLink-WS6906-DVB-S-Satellite-Finder-Meter-WS69... has an option to download (at cost) a software update.
If you want this I suggest you check first by phone or email that the new software has up to date data for Nimiq 4 and Nimiq 6

What to do:
You can try adding a new satellite yourself. Examine the data for Nimiq 4 to get an idea of what needs to be input.

If you use the meter as a simple power meter, at maximum sensitivity, you can swing the dish sideways across the top of the orbit arc and you will see multiple tiny blips as you pass each satellite. You can peak up on any of these and repeat the sweep.

At a powerful satellite you can use your set top box or the meter to try and identify. Getting Nimiq 4 would be a good start.

Once you know what satellite you can then step along to your wanted satellite.

Satellites near your longitude and the carrier frequencies, polarisations and symbol rates are listed here: https://www.lyngsat.com/america.html

Hello out there ! Wonder if someone can help.
I just bought a SatLink meter model WS-6906; it can't be that old; it's for sale on Amazon.
Googling support for this meter seems non-existent. (?)
Anyway--I'm using the meter to locate Bell sats Nimq 4 & 6.(82 & 91)
Going thru the meter menu; I found Nimq 4 but Nimq 6 wasn't there.
From my understanding; it's Nimq-6 that's critical.
Has anyone out there used this meter to find this info ?
Also---anyone know how to check / find the firmware update for this meter ?
Wondering if that might be needed so the meter will show Nimq-6
Thx in advance
