I am thinking of satellite to satellite communications, more info soon!
Yes, but im not talking space. Small Fta Satellites (NON SPACE)AntAltMike said:Small project? Can you even buy a satellite for less than a quarter of a billion dollars these days?
Nope, satellites pointed to other satellites.James Long said:Are you thinking balloons or drones?
Satellites but not space, balloons or drones? Please be clear in what you are talking about.tylorert said:Nope, satellites pointed to other satellites.
Can't wait to see this explained.tylorert said:Nope, satellites pointed to other satellites.
exactly how id do itTroch2002 said:Can't wait to see this explained.
How is your satellite dish going to communicate with your other satellite dish without them pointing directly at each other?
And with all kinds of obstructions what would be the point?
Satellite to Satellite is how you get your Dish and Directv service.
Cable too.
Correct BUT with an LNBJames Long said:Oh ... a point to point GROUND network.

Call it the right thing and it is easy to understand.
Why you asked the question in a FTA satellite forum is harder to understand.
Not all dishes are satellite dishes. Satellite dishes are not satellites, they are dishes.

Thanks James for clearing up what the TS is talking about. "sat to sat, but on the ground" had me totally confused.James Long said:Oh ... a point to point GROUND network.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_CanopyCall it the right thing and it is easy to understand.Why you asked the question in a FTA satellite forum is harder to understand.Not all dishes are satellite dishes.

LNB is Low Noise Block Feed It receives the signal and sends it to the receiver.tylorert said:LNB out, LNB in
A LNB Sender and a LNB receiver Just for CB transmit or some signalRBA said:LNB is Low Noise Block Feed It receives the signal and sends it to the receiver.
Wikipedia search for LNB. "A low-noise block downconverter (LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception.." If you want to learn more the article is 11 pages long.
Actually, there was a bizarre licensing authorization that DirecTV had for temporary use of what I think was a Canadian geosynchronous slot (does 72 degrees ring a bell, or maybe it was at 95: I'm getting old) that limited the number of receivers they could activate, so activating too many was technically a violation whether they were pointed to receive any particular signal or not. I think the motivation was to preclude DirecTV from developing any equitable grounds via "adverse possession" to try to legally expropriate that bandwidth for future, permanent or enduring use.James Long said:The good news is that if one points two receive only dishes at each other it doesn't violate any FCC rules.
Yes. DISH has the same authorization for their current use of 72.7 (Canada), 77 (Mexico) and 129 (Canada). But that is an authorization required to receive signals from those satellite slots. No authorization is needed to point a receive only dish at another receive only satellite dish.AntAltMike said:Actually, there was a bizarre licensing authorization that DirecTV had for temporary use of what I think was a Canadian geosynchronous slot ...
If you can find a "LNB Sender" let us know. All LNBs I have seen and can find are receive only devices.tylorert said:A LNB Sender and a LNB receiver Just for CB transmit or some signal

Hughesnet uses an LNB to RECEIVE signals and a BUC to TRANSMIT signals.tylorert said:Hughesnet LNB
