cheap sat LNA VS cheap TV amp xD

YES, got the power inserters finaly !
the test setup.
On picture one ,you see the setup i use on the atic.
Rpi, with rtl dongle, in combo with a cheap TV amp (not for ADSB freq xD)



On the below picture is my test setup
it has a airspy receiver with a SAT inline amp
the antenna is the same, only it is 3 meter lower as the antenna on the atic.

And finaly, a combined view in VRS
The Magic it self

ok, and now ? ,what is the result of it???(update2)

 

Well, it seems that moving the antenna to the atic was not a problem.
getting proper cable also no problem.
but what is the problem ?

1st picture.
antenna on balcony with NO amp.

2nd picture.
antenna on balcony with AMP.

3th picture.
antenna on atic (but 30meter cable) NO amp
*sigh*, what a fail

4th picture
antenna on atic (but 30meter cable) with amp
*sigh*, still a fail.

5th picture
antenna on atic (but 30meter cable) amp just below antenna
*sigh*, still a disapointment.



Ok, so, this is a fail.
yes, i do receive now planes from the west , but i lost a shitload on the east when antenna was outside on balcony.
guess i have to play with the place where the antenna works best.

P.S
did i mention that the amp is actualy for TV signal use only?
that is as, 50-950 mhz..

need to get a LNB DC injector, so i can test with a ,hm, proper AMP.

(UPDATE)
Well, it seems my 2nd idea wasnt bad at al.
just give it a hour, and after move the antenna to a better spot.
the results are interesting.

This the plane outcome after 1 hour with the new situation.
yes, lesser planes in the east (germany)
yes, more planes now in the west (belgium)

situation after moving antenna 1 meter to more free space.
The best i can do is wait another hour to see the results, and post it.

(UPDATE)
wel, i am not i for waiting a new hour.
20 minutes later i took this screenshot.
i am fucking impressed now !
Experiment did worked afterall.
