What sdr are you using? 

I am trying to use usrp b200 and I was not able to make it work. I have read the research paper wrote by sylvain but that's for the old code. 

Research paper ?
I don't think I've ever written any of those ...

 
Is there anything or any other hardware that I could use? I have a b210 b200 bladerf x115 and a limesdr full board. I don't want to spend any money on the cube dongle and usrp1 are not made anymore.

All of the above should work fine.
But you need a good RF setup. That means a good directional antenna with the right polarization, a good line of sight to the satellite and preferably external filters and LNA. Here I have so much out-of-band interference from terrestrial signals that without the cavity filter( http://shop.sysmocom.de/products/filter-rf-l-band ) the signals is very bad.  I also use a minicircuit LNA with very high linearity ( ~ 200 mA bias current IIRC ).

Then you can use the same command line as he did, just remove the `--args airspy` and replace with `--args uhd` for instance for a USRP. (you might have to select the right antenna as well make sure the LED light up where you have your stuff connected).
