I am following with great intersest, I am currently setting up my rig, which is party professional-use and part hobby, And I hope to get it on the roof in about 2 weeks after some structural works.
I am lining a 1.9M antenna with fine copper mesh to aid Ku Band.
I have received (Customs was a nightmare) a SP02/HR Az/El motor to mount the antenna on.
I have got a Chapparal Co-Rotor for Dual C and Ku Band use with electrical Skew control..
I knocked together an Arduino to control the Skew over Ethernet
So for the internal equipment I have put together
MD02 Motor Control with Ethernet
Agilent 8594E 3 GHz spectrum analsyer - With GPIB to ETHERTNET converter
Threadripper Pro 16 core Server, 512 GB RAM, RTX5090 GPU for AI/ML
DVB-S2X (ACM/CCM) 6909 TBS PCI-E card
Hack RF ONE - 20 MHz Software Defined Radio (Working on getting LimeSDR but not sure about customs)
So a pretty solid set-up, wish I could go bigger than 1.9M but I think the neighbours would have something to say about it 🙂
