checking i am 1090mhz - Cantenna

Hi all,

I am building my own cantenna, is there anyway i can test quickly that i am all set for 1090mhz (software ?). I would also like to be able test my connections from coax to mcx to ensure im not getting much loss etc

Any help would be great as the only way i am able to test at the minute is wait hours to see if my range improves and there is not a lot of traffic in the evening (based on my current 60nm range)

Thanks
