Can a satellite dish be used as a radio antenna?
You can use a satellite TV dish antenna for amateur radio use but how you use it depends on what frequency you want to operate on. The satellite dish antenna is two basic parts, the parabolic reflector and the feed (at the focal point of the parabola).
How does a satellite dish transmit?
A satellite dish is a parabolic surface combined with a central feed horn. The controller transmits a signal through the feed horn which is then focused into a beam by the dish. The television data is then relayed through that beam, from the satellite in space to your television at home.

What frequencies do satellite dishes use?
This range is divided into a “low band” with 10.7–11.7 GHz, and a “high band” with 11.7–12.75 GHz. This results in two frequency bands, each with a bandwidth of about 1 GHz, each with two possible polarizations.

What is a geostationary satellite and what are its characteristics?
A geostationary satellite is in an orbit that can only be achieved at an altitude very close to 35,786 km (22,236 miles) and which keeps the satellite fixed over one longitude at the equator. The satellite appears motionless at a fixed position in the sky to ground observers.
Can Baofeng use MURS?
You can use a Baofeng UV-5R walkie-talkie to listen to any GMRS, FRS, or MURS radio but you will need to convert the channel number of the GMRS/FRS/MURS radio into a frequency that you can enter into your UV-5R.
How far can a Baofeng transmit?
To make contacts hundreds of miles away, you need a high-powered, high frequency (HF) radio and a General license. A BaoFeng handi-talkie using VHF maxes out at about 30 miles under ideal conditions and with a few tricks and tweaks.
