Discovery Dish RTLSDR-Blog L-Band ACARS Quick ‘mini review’ of the Discovery Dish with L-Band ACARS feed. You can see the Crowdsupply campaign here. Myself and a few others backed it from day zero (or close to it). Took a few more months than expected for it to ship, but turns out, it was worth the wait. Make sure you get the... community.airframes.io The dish is now in use at my house receiving ACARS and STDC via a 2 way splitter.

I've programmed it using CHIRP (latest version). All channels are set to duplex "off" to disable transmit, and most will just give you a double beep if you try to key up.
