UPDATE October 2021 I did an update on the latest version of this ground station in which also address the situation with the Diversity Demon being discontinued:    • 📡  Ground Station Update - NEW VAS Pe...  

I've been asked by many people over the last few months for a video on my ground station. As mentioned, this is designed to be informative for people that are new to the hobby and don't understand what all of the parts are or why we use them.

========Parts List========

-K&F Concept Tripod ► 🇺🇸USA Link: http://tiny.cc/GS-Tripod-USA 🇬🇧UK Link: http://tiny.cc/GS-Tripod-UK
-1.3 ghz VAS Pepperbox antenna ► http://tiny.cc/6adv0y
-1.3ghz Mad mushroom ► Discontinued. I've now switched this to a Singularity antenna which works just as well but is less fragile and makes transporting the groundstation easier. See line below:
-1.3ghz Singularity Omni antenna ► http://tiny.cc/SingularityCP
-2 x RMRC 1.2ghz VRx ► http://tiny.cc/hbdv0y
-Diversity Demon ► http://tiny.cc/ubdv0y (Note: This appears to have been discontinued. The only other option I can see available for diversity on 1.3g is the Clearview XLR. This is expensive! But it is 2 x receivers and a diversity controller all in one: https://clearview-direct.com/shop/gro... )
-DVR ► http://tiny.cc/9cdv0y or a very good low cost alternative: http://tiny.cc/Low-Cost-DVR
