My code for controlling the dish can be found here:

I'm using a Nooelec HackRF One Software Defined Radio: https://amzn.to/3WxWsYL

I also have an RTL-SDR Wideband LNA: https://amzn.to/3WEorWX

I'm also using a Minicircuits 1710-2400MHz LNA like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185692990203
(You might be able to find them cheaper if you're not in a hurry)

You can find my computer code to interface with the dish here: https://github.com/saveitforparts/Travler_Rotor

Big thanks to Nate (saito720 on Discord) for the image fix!
