Hello Everyone,
So I have been starting to learn how to use Outernet recently and I have what I hope is an interesting observation about antennas. I have been using a 17 inch 1540 MHz yagi antenna and even with the polarization mismatch, I have been getting 6-8 dB SNR each night I have it running. It goes down significantly during the day, while still working, possibly from interference? I can certainly write up a general design for this as I found it much easier to build then a helical antenna as the angles are all 90°.
My question is whether there is a way to turn off the bias tee in outernet in a box? I had been seeing the signals in cubic sdr with the LNA taken out of the loop and the software gain all the way up. I am hoping that a slightly larger antenna (~30 inches/~75cm) may be able to work without the amplifier.
(edited to help clear up the second part)
