I see that satellite dishes and LNBs are pretty cheap. Appears standard LNB output band is around 1-2GHz. Would there be anything of interest to hear if I bought one of these and connected the output to a general-purpose communications receiver? I'm not really interested in satellite TV. I have an Icom PCR-1500 that works up to 3GHz, with variable receive bandwidth. Would I be able to receive anything interesting with this setup? I'm looking for any type of utility transmissions, weather, or shortwave radio stations. Also, how big of a dish would I need and how hard would it be to aim the dish for a temporary setup?
Thanks,
Frank
