If there is a signal-to-noise problem, it's either the antenna
location, the antenna, or the front end of the receiver.
Normally I'd discount the front end entirely and focus on the first
two, but IIRC you said you home-brewed a down-converter -- so that
has to be on the table, as well.
Anyway, fix the S/N problem, then just let it run and it should sort
itself out.
Best regards,
