I got my pole setup and installed. Sits nicely above the RV. This is
being sent over the Starlink WIFI actually.
Only thing I did wrong was buy an adapter I didn't need. The pole setup
I got said it wasn't for the standard dish, but I'll be damned if they
aren't exactly the same mount and I used the one for the Gen 3 that was
in the pole kit as it was for the perfect size of pipe. Only about $30
for the other pipe mount, and a friend might need it, so no big deal.
So far, setup was easy enough and it seems to be working OK, though I
did just move it and I think it is resetting. Only getting about 70Mbps
download and 30 Mbps upload. I think that will increase with some hours
locking on to satellites.
Just checked again before sending this and it's 113 down and 34 up. So
it gets better.
