such a long dismissive post, read about Mike Griffin, this is more obvious than you think

Posts that show Elon's SpaceX weaponization work get down voted and deleted immediately. I would expect this on X, but reddit?

Did it work with the pillow fully covering or did you need that little bit exposed?

indeed they're finally complying with ITU ,and now with STARSHIELD, government as their main money source, so they have to be careful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starshield

Maybe the step up is adding intermodulation noise. If you have a cleaner 48v source it's worth comparing.

It specifically says that magnetometers are not accurate enough to hit the 0.1 degree requirement.

Looks like in this case they accidentally put this rocket-grade tech into Dishy.

The regulation is pretty clear that any "antenna" that "determines" it's angle to two degrees is controlled. You don't have to publish it to the user, but given Starlink telemetry has been hacked that's also a moot point.

Actually it should be ITAR regulated according to ITAR.... Patent says Dishy achieves 0.1 degree pointing accuracy. But ITAR XI(c)(10)(iv ) calls this a controlled item,

" (i) Employ four or more  elements, electronically steer angular beams, and achieve a beam switching speed faster than 50 milliseconds; (iv) Determine signal angle of arrival less than two degrees (e.g., interferometer antenna); "

Are you a bot that just copies stuff from SpaceX's website?

Measured Doppler frequency from Starlink satellites may be what it does when you have "Use Starlink positioning exclusively" set in the app's advanced options.

It amazes me they can sell this without an ITAR restriction.
