Signal is back here in Germany! 
Changed frequency in the /etc/skylark_config.json and applied the satellite setting in the webinterface after that.
Got a few packets decoded already, but I need to readjust my Antenna to get a good Signal when iām back from work.
PS: My CHIP&SDRx is now running for 160 Days 24/7 in my 3D printed Case 
regards,
Manuel

this json modification āresetsā in my Dreamcatcher after a reboot, so might there is a better workaround for thisā¦ @Abhishek might advise on that.
yes, my experience as well when I had a bit of a play trying to modify then frequency of the āCustomā satelliteā¦

yeah, at least works until reboot 
Mine up since 16 hours with the new freq:
how do I change the frequency in Sklyark for CHIP? I found no frequency in the /etc/skylark_config.json.

Proper workaround for changing Skylark frequency:
-
connect by terminal to your Dreamcatcher
-
open this config file with VI editor:
vi /mnt/conf/etc/skylark_config.json
-
Edit only the custom frequency and symbol rate setting (every other will change back on reboot)
"label": "Custom",
"value": "custom",
"freq": "1546.25",
"symbolrate": "4200"
}```
4. Select "custom frequency" in tuner GUI in Skylark and click apply.

Any news on a signal for Asia?

Nothing new, unfortunately. No ETA as of right now.
Hi Zoltan,
thank you for the quick answer. But I am using a CHIP -the config.json is looking somewhat different and I guess the frequency has to be changed somewhere else.

it should be the same, you just need to scroll down a lot, itās settings is almost at the end
you can search in VI with this command:
/string search forward for occurrence of string in text
https://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html
but @Abhishek might advise on CHIP workaround
thank you, Zoltan, getting packets now:

Good reception in Belgium after changing the frequency, better SNR than before on the array antenna (7 dB SNR)

yeah, interestingly my SNR is increased to compared to the previous freqā¦
Just received my Outernet Dreamcathcer V2.03.
Pls. let me know the hardware interface for terminal mode to use VI editor.
Can I use this new freq 1546.25 MHz on Alphasat here in Middle East?
Thanks

You can use a USB to UART adapter on UART1 pin header or any SSH client after your board connected to your local wifi network

@zoltan: I donāt know if itās related or not, but after the modifications made in the skylark_config.json file, the News section of the GUI, throws this error:

any idea what I can do to fix this ?

Thanks zoltanā¦
Im interested in " or any SSH client after your board connected to your local wifi network "
cause i have not done this before. Can you please let me know the detail.
Also in my board, no RS232 header. It comes with SPI and JTAG and TWI only.
Hi zoltan
May I know the parameters of the UART speed, start/stop bit, parity, etc?
Can I use any terminal simulator like VT100 on windows10?
Iām on Windows10, do I have to install Linux to access this VI editor.
Any word from Sat provider that this change of freq is temporary or permanent?
Did Outernet offer a permanent solution?
Thanks.
Joey
