People keep asking me where to buy a satellite tracking rotator, and now there's a new option! KrakenRF (the people behind the Discovery Dish) sent me a prototype of their upcoming Discovery Drive product. It's a simple, waterproof azimuth/elevation rotator that can hold the Discovery Dish or other antennas. It works great with SatDump as well as other common ham radio and satellite software.

This pre-production model had some issues with cold weather, but the eventual retail model should have those bugs worked out. You can find the crowdfunding project at https://www.crowdsupply.com/krakenrf/discovery-drive
