I have just received a massive 118-136MHz antenna for the uConsole. If you're not into signal hunting, that's the Air Band frequency, which is AM. It can be illegal to transmit unauthorized signal in Air Band, but receiving is fine. I will check the ATIS once more and hopefully get a clearer signal from Meteor M2-3's 137.100/137.900, which might be just a touch out of tune with the antenna

My first success in radio hunting was being able to connect to my local airport ATIS, which is pretty far away from my house. I used a uConsole with a CM4 and the HackerGadgets AiO board. Obviously, FM is easy to recieve and it doesn't count, but AM is fun. If you want to start with the radio, ATIS is the way to go, provided there is an airport nearby

METEOR M2-3 is currently working and the downlink is 137.100/137.900 MHz. The mode is 72K*/80K LRPT SatDump should be able to record and decode the DL into images.
