radio receivers for radio astronomy
I've been asked to help with setting up an amateur radio telescope but the
books I have are for amateur radio. I wonder if anyone knows the requirements of a receiver to receive bursts from planets like Jupiter. Would a 20Mhz RX with bandwidth of 10kHz work or should it be more? NS

Would a 20Mhz RX with bandwidth of 10kHz work or
should it be more? That should be fine. Any shortwave radio with wideband AM reception should work fine. The most important thing is for your antenna to be very directional, like a mult-element Yagi or quad, and have the ability to be aimed at Jupiter.
