Hi Everyone. I'm a ham, and a WLAN Professional. I'ma couple hours into trying out the RXer, and getting nowhere with it for reception. I have no extension cables or similiar attenuation inducers in play. Even outside with no obstructions, I can barely get +1 at best for SNR, and then it's really, really unstable. I'm trying to slowly find any respectable aiming vector using the tuner tool, getting nowhere.

Is there an antenna pattern diagram for the kit antenna? And is there a difinitive resource on best way to aim this antenna at the satellite for a given location (I'm in upstate NY)? I've done enough directional antenna work where I feel like I should be getting further along than wildly erratic readings. I've yet to pull down any data, and am at that inevitable point where you ask "Is it me, or is this new kit I bought somehow defective?" Happy for any guidance, suggestions, etc.

Cheers,

Lee
