@MrMatto38 So far work well only thing that has failed has been serving the potentiometer sensor elevation, this winter it rained a lot! I believe we should improve the insulation of the water. Regards

How much do these antennas cost?

[EA1GAR]

I can not tell, since they are homemade, like the entire system of rotors and shaft. besides there is much recycled material. Greetings

Hi, I have a question, shouldnt be the satellite communication be encrypted ? correct me if i am wrong :) also what type of anntena is that ? ty in advance

[EA1GAR]

Hello, amateur radio transmissions are not encrypted. but if in digital format so that decoding is simple through free distribution, the antennas are built from the video itself and is yagi antennas with the Crusaders and right circular polarization, in the final two for a VHF directional antennas and one for UHF. greetings

i am working for my lisense right now and im geting excited to make an sat tracking antenna if you have any tips pease let me know

[EA1GAR]

The truth is that I do not know what to tell you because I am not a experto.Las antennas are built based on designs DK7ZB, but I say that this system is home made. The monitoring program is Orbitrom and the electronic board is manufactured by a Spanish ham. EA4TX.Tambien that there is something very important to make the system work, coaxial cables, the best possible especially in UHF. greetings

What kind of radio are you using with that? Pretty nice setup!

Hello, working amateur radio satellites using a FT-736R that although many years have works very well .........
