My dad has a GPS receiver...

I wonder what we'd get by just muxing our data? noise should cancel
anyway, so we'd just be left trying to phase and frequency correct our
data...

It'd probably suck, but it'd be fun to try :)

I was simply going to mix my two feeds at source by connecting the
dishes together and punching a hole in the local oscillators, then
feeding the resultant 10GHz signal into a butchered LNB, to down convert
it to 1GHz or so, which I can feed into my radio scanner.

I dunno. perhaps someone else might join in? its boringly quiet here
anyhow :)

Any objections people?
