My receiption on KU band does not seem suffering from any noise, these power lines could make.
But what about SF95?
These are the specs:
  • 950-2050 MHz bandwidth
  • Pocket size and lightweight
  • 11dB Gain
  • -25 to -75dBm Input Level
  • High sensitivity
Do power lines or microwave towers emit something in that range,
950-2050 MHz?
