Who knew “portable” satellite dishes were a thing? Sure there are some 90’s and 2000s versions like the Dish Tailgater models I’ve been experimenting with, but did you know there were fold-up C-band dishes from the 80s?
I’ve also opened up a few of Tailgater’s competition, the Winegard brand dish. These seem to have a little different construction, using stepper motors instead of brushed motors.
I’ll no doubt have some future projects with some of these, so stay tuned!
