I got a HackRF recently and will soon be upgrading to a USRP.
I'm looking to build something that will automatically point at satellites and see if it's transmitting anything. Any recommendations for a Azimuth-Elevation motor (with an API of some sort)?
I found this one online: thedxshop.com
It says it has a degree of accuracy of 1 degree. Are there better ones?

What you're doing is highly illegal.
>there are certain sources of 0's and 1's that are illegal to listen to
Fuck you, CIA nigger.
Wow, nice. This is the same dude who modified the IM-Me firmware to transmit custom signals.
>muh appeal to reduction
Doesn't he need dishes of different sizes? Or else wouldn't he be limiting himself to a single frequency range and miss most of what's out there?
afaik the dish is only for bundling signals - there's an antenna in the middle - think WokFi.
If the antenna is suitable for a broad band you won't need to switch.
how do I get into SDR? I've used WebSDR and I wanna try finding signals local to me.
What do I buy on the cheap anons?
if you want to start on the cheap ones, get a DVB-T stick. they're around 9-19$.
RTLSDR is like 10 bucks.
HackRF is 300 but you get chinese knockoffs for cheap
Thanks I'll begin researching them.

Holy shit this guy is amazing.
>Look at this idiot
yep this guy is fucking amazing
not true
True.
Snooping the radio waves sounds like a really nice hobby to have. Can you lads spoon feed me on how to start with this? As an anti-social neckbeard, I have no interest in transmitting.
Buy an sdr you dipshit.
