Over on YouTube, Gabe from the saveitforparts channel has uploaded a video where he tests out his Discovery Drive and Discovery Dish with L-Band feed for creating sky heatmaps of L-band satellites.

If you were unaware, Discovery Drive is our sister company KrakenRF's most recent successful crowdfunding campaign, which was successfully funded a couple of weeks ago. Discovery Drive is a portable antenna rotator with low power requirements, designed for use with Discovery Dish and other antennas of similar size and weight.

In the video, Gabe writes a custom script that has the Discovery Drive sweep the sky while simultaneously taking RF power readings with the Discovery Dish and L-band feed. The result is an image showing where L-band satellites are in the sky. He goes on to conduct experiments with the hydrogen line and sun imaging, as well as with satellites at UHF frequencies.
