    Great build Kuunanet! How much do you think you have into this setup? Did I read this right, you have this as a mobile setup? Does it work for MLAT while you're driving?

    All in, let's see.... $60 for the OP3 LTS w/ case, power supply and heat sink, $42 for the Touchscreen monitor, $12 for the monitor mount, $30 for the SDR, $10 for the dc/dc converter and $50 for the antenna and cable, so not bad at all under $200. I already had the GPS in the junk box, but you can see similar on Ebay for $20. Yes, this is a mobile setup that will stay in my truck. Mobile MLAT isn't working yet and is a low priority. I mostly want to drive to high spots and feed for a while or take it with me when I travel.

    Eventually I'd like to put something together like this and mount it in an enclosure outside on the mast to minimize antenna feedline losses.
    With the help of wiedehopf I am now feeding with my old Asus Netbook running Linux Mint.
