No, a NanoVNA is not a spectrum analyser, although the two instruments are related and can complement each other. For amateur radio astronomy, they serve quite different purposes. 1. NanoVNA…
Yes, there are a few routes, depending on what “stand alone” means for you. 1. Generate Python and run it outside GRC (easiest)In GNU Radio Companion, hit Generate (F5). It…
A UK Sky satellite dish receives signals at approximately 10.7–12.75 GHz, but the LNB (Low Noise Block downconverter) on the dish converts these to much lower frequencies before sending them…

DIGITAL INCLINOMETERS FOR RADIO TELESCOPE DISH Yes – a digital inclinometer can measure the actual vertical inclination/elevation of a radio telescope dish. Most handheld digital angle gauges contain a MEMS…
FOCUSING AND DEFLECTING COSMIC-RAY MUONS Yes, muons can in principle be focused or redirected into a smaller area, because muons are electrically charged particles. However, cosmic-ray muons are relatively energetic…
