[amsat-bb] DirecWav satellite internet useful?

["Greg D." <ko6th_greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

My neighbor appears to be tossing their Hughes "DirecWav" satellite internet dish and associated dish-mounted electronics.  By any stroke of luck, is this stuff reasonably convertable for use with any of the the proposed P3E up or downlinks?  I have no idea what frequency it runs.  It appears to have both transmit and receive capabilities (based on the warnings posted).  There are no model numbers that I can find on the electronics.

I've got my AO-40 S-band receive setup, but nothing for the higher bands.

Thanks,

Greg  KO6TH
