L-Band and 6GHz Tests with the ADALM-PLUTO SDR

Over on YouTube Adam 9A4QV has uploaded two videos that show his tests with the ADALM-PLUTO SDR on the L-band and up at 6 GHz. In his first video the L-band test shows that the receiver is quite sensitive in this region, managing to receive L-band satellites without any LNA. Although he also tests reception with an LNA4ALL in the receive chain, and this still does improve reception even more.

In the second video Adam confirms that reception is available up to 6 GHz using a PlutoSDR with frequency extension hack enabled.
