You know what's way worse than crappy code that barely works? Code that does nothing because you never wrote it.

FYI a doorbell transformer is an easy way to get 24v AC if you want to play with that other CCTV PT mount

Man, yesterday you finally convinced to grab myself a automatic satellite dish setup, today I picked up a automatic 31.5" diameter dish antenna setup for 35 bucks
@MaggieMcLaughlin-hd2gw
Honestly your videos are awesome. Absolutely nothing I will ever do on my own but just hearing the sounds of you actively tracking a satellite is freaking awesome. Your passion is infectious. Thanks so much.
@Beez-is-me
I know nothing about any of this stuff yet I watch all the videos anyways! We really enjoy the channel, Gabe!

The dish knows where it is pointing because it knows where it is not pointing.
@patchvonbraun
First, Merry Xmas, Gabe. Looks like you're having fun. Secondly, 75-ohm cables on the output side of the LNA is just fine. We use 75 ohm cable plant at our 12.8m radio telescope with 50ohm LNAs. Not an issue for receiving. Further, the input impedance of the RTL-SDR is actually closer to 75 ohms than 50, since the tuner chip was designed for cable-TV and SAT-TV applications, which for consumers is nearly always 75 ohm. Thirdly, I'm a bit envious of your slew rates. We can do a MAX of 9deg/minute in elevation and 22deg/minute in azimuth, but, of course, our dish weighs in at a slender 5.6 tonnes :) I also admit to a bit of envy about your apparent organization skills for your mechanical hardware. My current "collection" is a total unmitigated mess... :(

Happy Christmas mate, from the UK.
@poolbumone
Love the channel, thanks for the great content! Wishing you and yours the best for the holidays!
@ussul6524
I like the stuff and how you test it. Just pure gold man.
@EminemLovesGrapes
What a Christmas present to finally see your Tailgater dish experiments work out! 😁😁
@stevebucsh1681
That Wineguard Traveler setup looks fantastic for a permanent outdoor satellite tracking setup but looks like they're going for well over a grand on Ebay. I really want to build something that will survive the Michigan winter (probably need a dome over it) and will automatically track a few weather satellites to let me watch the earth directly. Eagerly looking forward to any further projects you do with automatic tracking on a budget!
@SkiffoniusDankour
Much love brother. Merry Christmas.
@Badg0r
Merry Christmas Gabe and thank you for another wonderful video.
@lorenkuhn3806
So happy for Scott, that he had a chance to meet Gabe!
@kurtkuechenberg1684
Dude, love the content, you embody the true spirit of DIY, love to see it.
@ace_life7079
My favorite part of the videos is where you take the thing apart.We all get to see inside of what normally most of us would be afraid to do! Thank you for taking us on yet another awesome adventure through technology.I think I speak for all of us when I say I am anxious to see what you're going to be doing Next.Please keep up the great work and never stop producing videos so that we may enjoy them for the rest of our lives
@t0nito
Well done! Here's a few tips, for Metop sats (you can also leave it for NOAA and Meteor) try installing Satdump on an Android phone and set the RTL SDR to 2.88 MSPS, it will work better as it has a bit more bandwidth and for some reason 2.88 MSPS works perfectly on Android. Also to avoid a dropout when the carrier crosses the center point, set the L.O frequency on Satdump to 0.05 MHz, and on the processing set the Frequency Offset to -50 kHz this way the carrier will never cross the DC center point of the SDR and the dropout won't happen. Merry Christmas!
@nobleshift
Thank you for your content. You're the most enjoyable science show on YT. I hope you make it big time. Have a wonderful New Year.
