Zach,
I'm finally finishing up the SatNOGS Rotator V2 project that was started... Now how many years ago did we start that little project? ;)
I built the SatNOGS Rotator Controller V1.2 a couple of months ago. Now I got the Arduino Pro Micro programmed and getting the steppers and AZ/EL home sensors wired up. Instead of using a WR703N, I'll interface the Arduino to a Raspberry Pi 3 that will run some tracking software.
73,

Indeed! Let's see if we can out-topic the mudslingers in here with real technical topics.
Here's what I'm working on:
I just ordered a replacement microphone for my FT-847, as it did not come with one.
The 3D printed passive Lindenblad article is written and needs a good going over before submission to the journal. On-air experience is good!
I've ordered some 433MHz SAW filter (RFMi) from Mouser to install at the output of my homebrew LNA. Hopefully this will reduce overload of the FT-847. A FCDP+, with it's internal SAW, works very well with that antenna and LNA, so I think I'm on the right track.
That have y'all been working on?
