Still, the only aspect that really mat-

accuracy of the provided data, and it is
in this field that you simply can’t fault
Satbeams. The app relies on the same
database that is made available to us-
ers of the standard website, and we all
know that this is probably one of the
most comprehensive and most up-to-
date satellite databases around.
With all that praise for Satbeam and
its mobile app we did, however, notice
that the popular daily frequency lists
that are available from
com have not made it to the app. What
a pity, since the most current tran-
sponder data right on the smartphone

here on the virtual Clarke Belt can easily be
received at this location
17. Obvious from this picture: All satellites
further out then approximately 40° West
cannot be received at this location
or tablet would have been an awesome
treat. Other than that, the app is a
valuable tool for everyone dealing with
antenna alignment that needs to be ac-
complished easily and quickly.
