Our Golden Ticket arrived today.
As the pole adapter is on back order, I did a little fabrication on the DRM under eave mount, adding two stainless 1/4-20 bolts threaded from the inside out (0.88" and 1.88" down), aligning their sides to make a key to match the Dishy key way, which is 0.01" larger, with retaining nuts from the outside. There is about 0.03" difference between the OD of Dishy's support and the ID of the DRM mount (1.4"). As it is a temporary setup, I elected not to shim it or cut a retaining clip. I used a dremel to cut a slot in the threaded end of the bolts to ease the installation.
I have to say that I am impressed with the range on the Starlink router; at 50' 5/5 bars on my phone, at 80' inside the house, 4/5 bars. It took three minutes or so of looking skyward before swiveling around to the NNW.
Still awaiting the Ethernet adapter and pole mount for the final install, but so far, so good.
All the best,
Peter
P.S. 37ms ping, and about twenty five times faster than our DSL. Can't wait to try webex video.
